One day after his half sister Casaca placed third in the Prix Fille de L'Air, Entre Copas (GB, 2004) won his sixth win in seven starts this year, winning the Premio Gladiateur (4,000 m, 4yo+). The ch. gelding by Sakhee and Priena(Priolo), owned and bred by Cuadra África, trained by J. M. Osorio and ridden by J. Crocquevieille, was the first by three quarters of a length, witj Domeside (GB, 2006) [Domedriver-Buck's Fizz], with Duke third and Karluv Most fourth, both far behind and Pazifiksturm last.
Duke was the front runner, along with his stable mate Karluv Most, for the first half of the race. In the second pass along the stretch, Pazifiksturm took the command, only to lose it in the last turn. After that, Entre Copas launched his attack, follwed by Domeside, and the race became a match race, with Entre Copas winning.
Here is the video: Premio Gladiateur 2011.
This is the third Gladiateur for Entre Copas, who was second to Carmanor last year.
In the race for 2yo debutants (premio Cadena Ser), the winner was Cascabel (SPA, 2009), a ch. filly [Dyhim Diamond-Channel(Sharp n'Early)], owned by Cuadra Pincal, trained by Angel Sánchez and ridden by M. Borrego, with Iune (USA, 2009) a bay filly [Proud Citizen-Jacira(Sillery)] second with jockey Jorge Horcajada for Cuadra Madroños and trainer M. Delcher. Here is the race: Premio Cadena Ser.
Jacira (dam of Iune) won the Copa de Oro de San Sebastián, had a yearling filly (by Arch) for sale at Arqana, sold in 65,000 euros. Jacira is also the dam of Royal Imari (Royal Academy), who won yesterday.
The Premio Veil Picard (1,800 m, 2yo) was won by Arsalan (GB, 2009) a bay colt [Halling-Kali(Linamix)], owned by Reza Pazooki, trained by F. Rodríguez and ridden by J. B. Hamel. Gran Chipi (Green Tune) was second and Giggolo Star (Dyhim Diamond) was third. Video: Premio Veil Picard 2011

Entre Copas (GB) wins the Premio Corpa
Entre Copas (GB), the 7 yo chestnut gelding of Cuadra Africa, winner of the last Mijas Cup, won today the Premio Corpa, a 3,000 m race for 4yo+ in the turf of the La Zarzuela track. The winner is trained by J.M. Osorio and was ridden by J. Crocquevieille. Karluv Most (FR, 2006) was second, with Duke (GER) third.

Montyaar (FR, 2007), the bay filly, took the lead from the beginning, with a slow pace that after the first 1,000 m became faster. She was followed by Duke, the stablemate of Karluv Most, with Entre Copas third and Karluv Most fourth. In the last turn, the duo of Cuadra Cholaica, first Duke and then Karluv Most, took the lead, but could not hold off the advance of Entre Copas, who won clearly. This is the third win in a row for Entre Copas. His program will probably include the Gran Premio Ciudad de Madrid (2,500 m, 3yo+), end of June, won last year by his foe, Karluv Most.
Here is the video: Premio Corpa 2011
Meanwhile, in the third race, As de Trébol (USA) won again in Spain, by 7 lengths, beating Preciados (SPA), who was second, in a 1,600 m race.

Memorial Duque de Alburquerque this Sunday in Madrid
The meeting of this Sunday in the La Zarzuela racetrack of Madrid will feature the first edition of the Premio Memorial Duque de Alburquerque, a 2,100 m race for 4 y/o+ that will have in this inaugural running a field of 9 horses that includes two Spanish Derby winners (Domeside and Plantagenet), the winner of the Gran Premio Ciudad de Madrid and the Gran Premio Memorial Duque de Toledo of 2010 (Karluv Most), the winner of the Mijas Cup 2010 (Nelson Groom) and Señor Miranda, placed in the Derby 2010, the Villamejor (St. Leger), the Memorial Duque de Toledo, etc.
Domeside (GB), winner of the Premio Villapadierna (Derby) in 2009, was injured after that race to reappear this winter. He has showed some proggression in his last starts, winning the last one, Premio Caballo Ganador de Renfe a race sharing a good number of partants with the race of this Sunday. Owned by Cuadra SafSaf, trained by M. Delcher S., will be ridden by Julien Grosjean. Risquillo (FR), second by 2 lengths in that, carried 4 more kg than Domeside and will carry the same weight now. He is owned by Cuadra El Risquillo, trained by A. Carrasco and will be ridden by V. Janacek.

Plantagenet (SPA, 2007) won the Premio Villapadierna (Video) in 2010 but then he didn't enter the starting gates in the Copa de Oro de San Sebastián in the summer and, although he won the prep race for the Memorial Duque de Toledo, he failed in the big race, so his true potential is somewhat uncertain. This will be his awaited seasonal debut. Owned by Cuadra Whylar, trained by G. Arizkorreta, will be ridden by J. L. Borrego.
Karluv Most (FR) also reappears after his winter rest. His last race was his win in the Memorial Duque de Toledo (what we may call the Spanish "Arc"): See video here: Memorial Duque de Toledo 2010. Owned by Cuadra Cholaica, trained by J. L. Maroto, will be ridden by Oscar Ortiz de Urbina.
Señor Miranda (GB) reappeared some weeks ago, clearly beaten by Domeside and Risquillo, among other. He is owned by Cuadra Los Toneles, trained by F. Rodríguez and will be ridden by Borja Fayos.
Nelson Groom (FR) seems not to be in good form for now.
Other partants are Diamante Blanco (SPA), unplaced in one start, Duke (GER) who beat Domeside in the winter at Dos Hermanas in a 2,800 race and stable companion to Karluv Most, Porquenotecallas (IRE), trained by J. M. Osorio (in a winning streak)

Duke (GER) beats Domeside (GB)
Duke (bay gelding, GER, 2006) won the 2,800 m race in the Dos Hermanas racetrack (Seville) in a thrilling finish after a long fight in the stretch with Domeside (GB), over a heavy going. Ilusionista, as usual, led the way for most of the race but, just before entering the final straight, Domeside took command and looked as a winner, but couldn't resist the final attack of Duke. Rayen (SPA) was third.
Duke (second Set-Deborah) is owned by Cuadra Cholaica, trained by J.L. Maroto and was ridden by Oscar Ortiz de Urbina. This is his second consecutive win.
