    La Estirpe De Raita

    LA ESTIRPE DE RAITA HISTORIA DE UNA LÍNEA FEMENINA NOTABLE En la primavera de 1954, ha hecho sesenta años, nació en Francia, a donde su madre había viajada para ser cubierta, una potranca hija del semental inglés Rockefella y de Raita, una de las yeguas fundacionales de la operación de cría de Ramón Beamonte. Lo que entonces se vería nada más que con la lógica ilusión que acompaña al nacimiento de cualquier purasangre, se convirtió, con el paso el tiempo, en el episodio inicial de la saga de la mejor línea femenina de la historia de las carreras de caballos en España; no en vano a ella pertenecen ejemplares como el gran Rheffissimo, Manola, Bariloche, Taoro, El Gaucho, Fado, Katimba y muchos otros buenos ganadores. Lo que sigue es la historia de esta estirpe, la estirpe de Raita. Manuel de Luque PARTE I: NONANT-LE-PIN, UNA FAMILIA HUMANA Y OTRA EQUINA Raita nació en 1942 en el Haras de Nonant-le-Pin, situado en el departamento de Orne, región de Baja Normandía, seguramente una de las zonas de Francia más identificada con la cría del caballo en general y del purasangre en particular. La potranca, de capa castaña oscura, era hija de Foxlight y Rouiba, por Transvaal. Nonant-le-Pin, situado cerca de la ciudad de Argentan y muy próximo a la famosísima yeguada de propiedad pública Haras de Pin, había sido creado nada más iniciarse el siglo XX por el capitán de artillería y destacado agricultor y ganadero Henri Corbiére. La propiedad donde se asentaba la yeguada había estado vinculada a su familia desde el año 1868, cuando su abuelo, M.

    SATURDAY, 2 MAY 2020 GUINEAS WEEKEND MARKS CLASSICS PRIORITISED IN REVISED PATTERN PROGRAMME JUDDMONTE MILESTONE The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has issued an update from the Flat Pattern Committee which outlines a revised schedule of pattern and listed races for the end of May and early June. With the aim to "prioritise the Classics and other flagship races for horses most likely to provide a future fundamental role on behalf of the breed," the committee, working under a "best-case scenario" for a mid-May resumption of racing in Britain, is planning to rescue a number of abandoned races from the early part of the season. These include the G1 Lockinge S., originally schedule for May 16 but now likely to be run a fortnight later. Newmarket's and Newbury's Classic trials, the Craven S., Nell Gwyn S., Greenham S. and Fred Darling S., will be run on the same weekend but on different days. The Fred Darling is set to be run at a mile this year instead of seven furlongs and the G3 Palace House S. will be extended in distance to 5 1/2 furlongs.

    Media Guide Welcome to Royal Ascot from Her Majesty’S Representative

    MEDIA GUIDE WELCOME TO ROYAL ASCOT FROM HER MAJESTY’S REPRESENTATIVE May I wish a warm welcome to the world’s media in this very special Diamond Jubilee year. Her Majesty The Queen has owned no fewer than 63 Ascot winners, 20 of them at the Royal Meeting, and it’s always a great thrill for everyone when the Royal colours are successful. It would be marvellous for that to happen this year. We recall the perfect timing in Silver Jubilee year when dual Classic-winning Dunfermline provided tremendous success for The Queen. As part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, we are staging a very special exhibition titled “60 years of Royal Ascot during the Reign of Her Majesty The Queen.” Situated beside the pre-parade ring, this is a photographic commemoration of the Royal Family at Ascot over the past 60 years. Central to the Royal Meeting is the fact that, on the track, we have the finest programme of races anywhere in the world. We have increased our prize money this year by £715,000 and now offer £4.5 million across the 30 races of the five-day meeting. None of the races are worth less than £55,000. Two of our races offer prize money of £500,000 each. We have renamed The Golden Jubilee Stakes. From this year it is The Diamond Jubilee Stakes and with prize money of £500,000 it is Britain’s most valuable sprint race. Royal Ascot’s two legs of the Global Sprint Challenge, The King’s Stand Stakes on Tuesday and The Diamond Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, will again feature a truly cosmopolitan field of runners.
