Duca di Como – FINALLY

I have been waiting for this moment for years. In blog posts and in the programs I have called for Duca di Como (Clodovil) to try his luck in the States. He is the best Scandinavian dirt miler ever and his early pace is something else.

Before September 18 I wrote this for a website about Swedish Racing.

This day has got a fantastic undercard with three Listed events all worth 400 000 SEK to the winner. In Nickes Minneslöpning (L) you will watch Scandinavia’s champion dirt miler, Duca di Como (Clodovil) starting at the rail. He has got a tremendous gate speed and his natural pace will have him in the lead early on. A normal race for “Duca” sees him with an easy lead into the first turn. Then he will be getting a breather before going away again into the last turn. He will be hard to catch if at his best.

Of course he won it easily, and in exactly the way predicted. It is time for the American horse players to learn about ”Duca” and to make it easier this is videos from two of his dirt wins.

You can study his form here. And if you prefer Racing Post you will find him here.

To make things even easier, this is a link to all his starts in Sweden.

And why should you bother about Duca di Como? Because he is going to the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile!

  1. Håller med dig Fredrik. Jag trodde han var på väg ner men senaste segern var väl inte så långt bakom hans bästa form. Annars känns det som han var vassast 2019. Hans tid senast hade med flygande start landat på 1,33 och något.
    En fråga är våra banor kontra USA. Där vet Du bättre men det känns som de amerikanska numera definitivt inte är snabbare än våra.
    Dessutom är en mile 1609 meter, 3 längder eller 0,6 sekunder.
    I Dubai verkade han låg dessutom är ju dt banan där ytterst knepig. Sprutet verkar helt demoraliserande.
    Hoppas han kan prestera i närheten av sitt bästa. Jag är inte främmande för att han kan choka en del amerikanska lirare.
    Heja Cathrine!
