THE STUD INDECIS 243 



looking Utrecht is in this stable, and so is the now 

 five-year-old Hermann Goos, by Your Majesty out of 

 Energica. He has won many good races. It would be 

 easy to give many more details of this fine stable, but it 

 is not easy to interest English readers in matters outside 

 their own country. They may like to know that the 

 produce of Cyllene in the Argentine have won con- 

 siderably more than did their predecessors in England, 

 and the same can be said of Your Majesty stock. Polar 

 Star has also been very successful. 



Leaving this stable, we went on to the Stud Indecis 

 (Senor Unzue's), where Torterolo is the trainer, and 

 there he has all arrangements thoroughly up to date, 

 including the yard, which had been well swilled down with 

 disinfectant. Juan Torterolo is one of the most success- 

 ful trainers in the country, and he and his father (whom 

 also I saw) are no strangers to Newmarket. His brother 

 Domingo is one of the most successful jockeys, but he, 

 unfortunately, has been very ill. The most interesting 

 horse in the stable is the grey, Palaspavos, by 

 Papanatas (son of Pippermint). He is a champion 

 stayer, both at Palermo and Mount Video, but both 

 his front hoofs are split, and it may be impossible to 

 train him again. He would make a very interesting 

 stallion, as he is a direct descendant of Hermit, whose 

 line has died out in England. You will see no finer 

 blood stock anywhere than in the "Stud" Indecis. 

 Dorancia, for instance, is a grand filly, but it is not 

 my purpose to go into details, though it may be right 

 to say that Senor Victorica Roca was the head of the 

 list of winning owners last year.
