Talenta was voted champion 2yo filly of her generation (raced 08/09 season). Her major win was the GP Margarida Polak Lara-Taca de Prata (G1- the c in Taca has a curlique on the bottom so it is pronounced Tasa. Tasa de Prata means Silver Cup). Margarida Polak Lara is a 100yo lady who has been a prime mover in Brasilian racing for most of those years.

There are two sets of Classic races in Brazil, one at each of the major racing centers, Rio and Sao Paulo. The latter runs its classics in the spring (our fall), culminating with the Derby Paulista, whose most recent winner of which is Tenarin list. The 2000 Guineas equivalent in Sao Paulo is the GP Ipiranga, won in 09/10 by Real Secret.

It's very cool and thank you for making it available.

I was thrilled to see a girl I've been following in South Africa made your list... horses to watch out for.

Zirconeum!

MdK (the quote is on the kids from SA thread) commented once saying she could be ever better than Irridesence. Nice, nice girl.

Her performance in the Durban July was nothing short of spectacular and I'm glad she was rested following that for some tries in Dubai.
