Todo esto se debe al gran trabajo en equipo que se realiza en Firmamento! 2019 ha sido un año atípico para nosotros, ya que fue un período de transición. Se fue Van Nistelrooy a Chile y finalizamos con nuestra producción de Seattle Fitz, dos padrillos que nos dieron grandes alegrías. Hemos comenzado con otro equipo de entrenadores: Alfredo Gaitán Dassié, junto a sus hijos Nicolás y Lucas con quienes estamos muy satisfechos en un año de adaptación mutua. Al igual que el trabajo perseverante de Adrián Reisenauer en City Bell y de la eficaz tarea de nuestros jockeys Leandro Francisco Fernández Gonçalves y Aníbal Cabrera con el aporte, siempre listo, de Luciano Cabrera. También está nuestro permanente recuerdo y amistad para Carly Etchechoury. En la tradicional gala de los Premios Pellegrini que organiza el Jockey Club, fuimos distinguidos en las categorías: Criador del Año, Caballeriza del Año y nuestro criado Sixties Song, de propiedad de nuestros amigos del Stud Savini, obtuvo la de Campeón Adulto. En todos estos casos, por lo realizado en el año calendario 2018. Sobre este punto, me gustaría resaltar la presentación que Criadores Argentinos realizara ante la Comisión de Carreras de San Isidro, en donde solicitaba se considere unificar con el resto de los principales países del hemisferio sur el cierre de las estadísticas anuales, simultáneamente con el cambio de edad cronológica de nuestras crías, es decir, el 30 de junio.

B L O O M TT HH EE EE NN DD LL EE SS SS SS UU MM MM EE RR Directed by Bruce Brown Produced by Robert Bagley and Bruce Brown Distributed by Bruce Brown Films Released in 1966 hree things keep this Spartan documentary perpetually ent ertaining — the skill of profiled T surfers Michael Hy nson and Robert August, the beautiful locations, and the music. The surfers are California boys who set out to test their skills against the unknown, uncrowded waters of the world. They travel to Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Hawaii, jou rneying for a year. Their progress is tracked by documentarian Bruce Brown, author of several earlier less ambitious films bringing attention to the emerging sport of surfing. In this film his presence is constant, narrating the proceedings, and occasi onally showing up on the screen, himself. Brown ' s apparent skill at, and enthusiasm for, surfing permeates the film, providing a viewer totally ignorant of the activity what he needs to appreciate and enjoy the footage. Brown is the third man in this glo bal odyssey, but he presents the material with a necessary sense of reality, occasionally lapsing into a contrived jokiness made all the more difficult by the acting inabilities of his two stars. The music theme, an easygoing, wordless lullaby extolling perpetual sand, sun, and surf through electric guitar, is attributed to the Sandals.
