Oaks and Derby, stellar events at the Madrid Hippodrome

The month of June arrives loaded with great prizes at the Madrid Hippodrome. There will be four unique Saturday evenings, from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., in which the spectacle of horse racing is joined by entertainment such as music, gastronomy or theme parties, like the one that will take place this first Saturday, June 4, the Ladies

On the south lawn there will be an Ascot-style corner with a classic car where the public will be able to take pictures and taste fashionable drinks such as Bubbly Lov hard seltzer, a fresh wine from Cría Cuervos, or Mahou beers.

Las Rozas Village will be the sponsor of one of the tests, in support of this very chic event in which a special fashion and accessories market will also be set up with a variety of proposals for the summer.

After the races, the Dos Maderas group will liven up the evening with their flamenco and fusion with the pop of the 80s.

There will also be gastronomic proposals spread throughout the venue, such as the appetizing foodtrucks located in the gardens, the Premium terraces or the Cervecistas en pelousse terrace.

The morning will start at 18:45 with the first race, the Premio Reltaj-Galoppclub Iffezheim, for two-year-old colts and fillies. Six candidates for victory. 1,100 meters of straight line travel. Spark comes from winning in his second outing indicating a lot of improvement, he has a great opportunity to go back to being winners. Sommersun, who was already in front of her in her debut, and Cunning will be her main rivals.

In second place, the Francisco Jaquotot Prize will be held, for three-year-old colts and fillies that have not won. Fourteen participants in a 1,200-meter sprint in a straight line. Fuji Gold and Azul are the favorites, they are what they have shown the most and they will be in the fight again. Wert and Premier Rhapsodie will be the most dangerous enemies. Looking for a surprise I see Amil, who although he has not yet stood out, I think he has more value than he has shown.

The third race will be the Lester Pigott Tribute Award, a benchmark handicap for horses and mares three years and older. Fourteen participants to cover 1,600 meters. Very open race and difficult forecast. Anyway, the two that I like the most are Bidul and Luanco. They are haunting her and they will surely be in the fight again. Belador and Tannhauer, despite the scale, should also be very close. Upsdawn could be the surprise, it has more value than shown and comes out in very good weight conditions.

In fourth place will be the Beamonte-Oaks Español Grand Prix (sponsored by Santander Private Banking) (Lototurf), the best three-year-old fillies on stage. Twelve candidates for victory will start from the 2,400 meter pole. Strong foreign representation that raises the value of the race, but makes it more difficult for the title to stay here. Our most solid value is Super Trip, of seven starts, he has four wins and two seconds, but he comes with an ailment that prevented him from being in high school. We believe that he will not be one hundred percent, still, he will be in the fight. Lovely Diamond has appeared in almost all of his outings and has just done quite well in a Listed in France, it will give a lot of trouble. One more Night is coming off winning high school, showing that he has a lot to say. The surprise could be Katara, he has a great origin and although he only has three outings, he will surely not be out of tune.

In fifth place will be the Villapadierna-Derby Español Grand Prix (sponsored by Santander Private Banking), the best three-year-old colts at the starting post. Nine contenders for victory also over the distance of 2,400 meters. I think the race goes through the pupils of the Cuadra Maditerrámeo, Australia Cape and Glorytof, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a twin. I see Catapum as the strongest rival, who has already won high school and will make it very difficult for him. Ace a Charm, White King and Severus will also put up a good fight.

The sixth race will be the Baratíssima Prize (sponsored by Bubbly Low), for mares three years and older. Seven participants, 1,600 meters of travel. Upa Lola has proven to be the most valuable and here she has a good opportunity to prove it, she is my favorite. Nasab comes from beating good males and will fight for victory again. Aunt Agatha comes from marking her best value with the distance raise, she continues to improve, she will be very dangerous.

The morning will close in seventh place with the Premio Goma (sponsored by Las Rozas Village), a benchmark handicap for horses and mares three years and older, over the distance of 1,700 metres. Seventeen candidates for victory, at the orders of the starter. Big Mack is hanging around her showing form, he is doing very well in track and distance, he will be in the fight. Veleta loves the Madrid sand, although she is very high in the handicap, the release places her, very dangerous. Ballet Star has shown that he does very well in the arena, here he has a good chance to get very close. Karluvy is another one that goes very well in sand, the layover is very comfortable, a good opportunity. As a surprise I see Nader, he is very low on the handicap and although he is not running well, he has always liked the sand track and he can do it very well.

The broadcast of the horse races of the Hippodrome of Madrid can be enjoyed on Movistar. The Las Carreras program is broadcast exclusively through the Deportes por M channels (dial 53 and its multis).

In the enclosure there are more than 2,000 free parking spaces, and also free buses leaving from 10:30 a.m. every 20 minutes as a shuttle from Paseo Moret in Moncloa.
