Fortun wins the Villapadierna (Spanish Derby)

Fortun (IRE, 2009), a bay colt [Bachelor Duke-Duckmore Bay(Titus Livius)], owned by Cuadra La Toledana, trained by J. L. Maroto and ridden by J. Crocquevieille, was the winner of today's GP Villapadierna (Spanish Derby), (2,400 m, 3yos), beating Kadmios (Kavafi) by a neck, with the favourite Galipoli (Sulamani) third two lengths behind and Campillo (Lando) fourth.

Campillo, first and Arsalan afterwards commanded the field form most of the race. In the beginning of the home stretch, Jeremy Crocquevieille found a gap along the rail inside Arsalan, who was more tired and was the first to attack, helding off the final charge or Kadmios, who didn't keep a straight line, perhaps losing some ground.

Fortun was second to Galipoli in his previous start, the Premo Velayos won by Galipoli.


In the rest of the meeting, the results were:

Albuhera (Devil Moon) won the first, for 2yo, beating Yakarak (Caradak). It's the second win for Albuhera.

Karluv Most (Della Francesca) won the 2nd, beating Arnuero (Sakhee). Karluv Most won the GP Ciudad de Madrid and the GP Memorial Duque de Toledo in 2010, but had an unsuccessful streak since then.

Risby (Big Shufffle) won the third (1,400 m, 3yo+) , with Shumookh (Mujahid) 2nd.

Alfred (Egeo) won the 1st part of the split handicap, with Dime que Sí 2nd

Bailongo (Egeo) and Lodosa )(Dyhim Diamond) were 1st and 2nd in the 2nd part of the split handicap.

And Mou the Special (Refuse to Bend) won the last race, for 2yo, beating Caramoon (Caradak)
