Impressive looking South American import set to make US debut in Clement Hirsch

[Calzone Lord]

Here a few other good ones to come out of these series of races in Chile.

Puerto Madero (like Lido Palace, was Horse of the Year in Chile) he was beaten in the St Ledger -- that's the race Amani dominated against the males in her final start in Chile.



He was an in-and-outer -- but was very good when right. His best moment came when he won the Donn Handicap over Behrens and Silver Charm.



Cocoa Beach had a very similar early form -- she was undefeated in Chile -- but never won anything more than a Grade 3 there.





She was a nice 3-surface horse. In her 2nd US start, she beat our hapless champion Ginger Punch in a Grade 1 on dirt.

In her 3rd US start, she traveled cross-country and finished 2nd to Zenyatta over the same track where Zenyatta won the Classic at the following year.

In her 4th US start, she won a Grade 1 race on turf over 3-time Grade 1 winner Precious Kitten.
