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.” 2011 Juan Martín Nero: anay sur dulce Birth: 18-11-2001 SBA 32567 RP 478 By Perugino & Vitamina Breeder & Owner: Anay Sur S.A. Player: Juan Martín Nero 252 “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.”
