With a sunny and very hot morning, this Sunday the thirteenth day of the Spring season at the Madrid Hippodrome, on the grass track, which was attended by a large public, within the allowed limit, who enjoyed the excitement of horse racing and gastronomy a lot.
The morning started with the Satrústegui Award, for three-year-old colts and fillies, over a distance of 1,600 meters. Six participants. At the start it was seen that there were two races in one, the three favorites on one side and the other three on the other. Ruda Bridge came out determined setting the pace of the test, followed by Galindo and The Game. Thus the final stretch was reached, in which Pont de Ruda became strong with the sticks, winning from end to end by almost two lengths. When it seemed that Galindo was going to be second, The Game, with a very strong change of pace, happened just before the goal post. Fourth, Pensarriva, reached almost twelve bodies of the third.
The second race was the Játiva, split handicap second part, for horses and mares three years and older, a sprint of 1,200 meters straight line. Twelve specimens on the starting post. One of the great surprises of the morning because Mrs Jennings He took the victory by finishing for the sticks, improving a lot from previous races. Second and third were the two representatives of the Las Rozas block, Parkland and Girón. The winner traded 54.50 euros at 1; the twin was paid 117.40 euros for 1 euro and the trio bet, 2,418, 90 euros.
In third place the Prince Duero Award, limited handicap, for horses and mares three years and older. Eleven participants from the 1,600 meter pole.

Iskanderhon He came out determined taking the head, setting the pace of the test, thus reaching the final straight. Iskanderhon tried to get strong for the sticks, but The Way of Bonnie, the debutant in Spain, passed how and when he wanted as soon as he got underway, winning in a real exhibition by more than three lengths and confirming his serious candidacy for the Madrid Grand Prix.
