Eduardo Heguy:
“Oro Festuca was sensitive; very correct, beautifully
balanced; she would play two chukkas and never tire; very
fast; extremely complete. She combined two assets that very
rarely come together: Power and Sensitivity.”

Sebastián Merlos:
“I had made a bet with my father and won, which put him
in the position of having to buy whichever horse I chose. I
found Oro Malabrigo and liked him, and my father bought
him for me.
He became a very solid horse, very consistent; incredibly
fast, just right to play in the N° 2 position (at the time
horses were made to last out the whole chukka), and
almost always played 2 to 3 chukkas. In the 1995 final he
played 3 complete chukkas, at an impressive speed and
wholeheartedly.”
Sebastián Merlos:
“Silvi – Caro La Capital, I consider to be one of the 2 or 3 best mares I ever mounted in my life. A pretty type mare,
comfortable, good mouth; speed; good natured; a good dam. She was a mare that you mounted and could go wherever you
liked; you could stop at any given time; she made me forget I was on a horse and I felt I could do what I felt like. I think those
are the good mares, the ones that don’t force you to choose the play.
I was very impressed by her staying power; she could play 2 to 3 chukkas and her last minute of play was equal to, or even
better, than the first of her first chukka. She could accelerate in a straight line or on the curve as only a very few mares can do.
She stil lives and I keep her in my garden at home; I have 2 of her daughters playing at Palm Beach that are very good.”
