The article is as follows:
Fontanelice Trotto & Turf
Katsumi Yoshida in Italia non lascia, anzi raddoppia. Dopo Final Score, l'importante proprietario e allevatore giapponese ha comprato anche la 2 anni Fontanelice, capofila della generazione. Con la stessa consulenza di Emmanuel de Seroux di Narvick International e Paolo Romanelli di Ital-Cal Horse Management, come sempre coadiuvati dal veterinario di fiducia Riki Takahashi, nelle recenti settimane si è concretizzato l'acquisto dell'imbattuta figlia di Vale of York, già da alcuni giorni arrivata a Chantilly nelle scuderie di Christiane Head. Tutto collaudato come per Final Score con gli stessi protagonisti professionali e riservati, Mario Sivieri di Pianeta Cavallo, il dottor Giuseppe Incastrone, il veterinario francese dott. Pechayre, come per Final Score arrivato appositamente da Chantilly, il tutto coordinato a meraviglia a Cenaia dalla Dottoressa Claudia Basile. «Siamo molto soddisfatti di questo nuovo acquisto - ha commentato Emmanuel de Seroux -. Fontanelice è arrivata in splendida condizione a Chantilly per la piena approvazione di Criquette Head, che non ha mancato di comunicarmi subito la sua ottima impressione. Vedremo i risultati, ma c’è tanta fiducia. La collaborazione con la famiglia Botti si dimostra sempre più positiva e speriamo di poter acquistare presto da loro altri cavalli che, sistemati alcuni ostacoli burocratici, potrebbero rimanere in allenamento da Stefano a Cenaia». La storia di Fontanelice è nota. Acquistata yearling da Alduino Botti all’asta Tattersalls Irlanda, per 9.000 euro, come regalo per il figlio Stefano, fa parte della prima annata di produzione di Vale of York, secondo nel Gran Criterium 2009 e poi a segno a Santa Anita nel Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf. La madre Choose Me Please (un nome profetico: scegli me per favore), inedita, aveva esordito in razza con un maschio da Footstepsinthesand solo piazzato. Fontanelice è il secondo prodotto, il terzo, una femmina da Iffraaj, ha spuntato 37.000 sterline a fine agosto a Doncaster. Da notare che la terza mamma, Bubble Prospector, è madre o ava di diversi ottimi performer in Giappone, incluso Deep Brillante (Derby). Che sia stato (anche) questo aspetto a sedurre Katsumi Yoshida e il suo team? Di certo li avrà colpiti il modello e la consistenza di Fontanelice, che dall’esordio nel Poncia al trionfo nel Dormello non ha mai conosciuto sconfitta, centrando anche Perrone, Crespi e Primi Passi (in parità con il maschio Ginwar, poi secondo nel Gran Criterium). Comprare a poco, realizzare, vendere all’estero: un’operazione perfetta.
