DOLFINA TORO
Mariano Aguerre: Lolo Castagnola:
“She was a tremendously comfortable mare always;
no matter what minute you were playing, she allowed
you to get into position and arrive at the ball with the
right timing. Aside from her adduction virtues and
docility (I play with a thick copper gag), she was a
fast mare. Genetically endowed, she became a great
dam. She had a lot of class and was never injured
throughout her career.
As I always say, one can do things right and breed as
best one can, but if you have no luck, you just don’t
find a mare like Machitos Jazz.” “What I liked best about Toro was his heart: he would
play the 7 th minute of his third chukka as though it
were his first. In fact, he leld the record of 17’20’’ of
play on Field N°1 in the 2008 Open final, playing in
the 1 st , 5 th And 8th chukkas.
His soft mouth and the way he took a curve were
impressive. I played him with a thick copper gag; he
was a universal horse: anyone could play him. Aside
from me, he was also played by Nacho Novillo; my
son ‘Jeta’, and even Tony Bullrich. At 17 he still plays;
he has five clones and I’m keeping 01 as a sire.”

“Anay Sur Dulce is also among the best mares I’ve played.
I’ve now retired her. What impressed me most were her
lungs; the way she breathed. She’d play 2 chukkas and
never tire; she kept it up; she raced the first minute of play as
she did the seventh. A great stayer.”
