Only two bulls got here from the iron of St. Pelayo, however the six went out to the ring of Las Ventas with the Holiness Vinela; Blessed animals born for a rare exhibition of infinite goodness, beneficiant collaborators for the present of horses and gents with the minimal danger.

This has been the bulls of El Capea, bonancible, noble, of very temperate onslaught, with which the three rejoneadores have been in a position to practice earlier than a festive viewers, nothing demanding and keen to the enjoyable within the face of the minimal decoration of any of the actors.

Of course, these bulls, saints for courageous eternity, lack ample nerve that generates emotion, in order that the celebration was roughly lucid and pleasant, however missing the fervour inherent in bullfighting.

But this isn’t new. For years the rejoneo opted for a number of livestock that breed with cautious animals that don’t hassle and collaborate on the triumph with an excessive amount of demand.

In spite of every part, what issues are, the Plaza de Las Ventas has registered right this moment a stuffed with ‘There are not any tickets’, which suggests, for sure, that the curiosity of the general public is concentrated on the doming of the horses and the ability of the women and gents, and does little care in regards to the caste or fierce of the bulls.

Because the holiness of bulls diminished the danger, however didn’t facilitate the anticipated triumphalism. None of the three ears have been deserved, which signifies that the efficiency of the cartel members didn’t attain the extent of high quality required to stroll a deserved trophy in Madrid, however the insistence of the scarves and the generosity of the field gave a cartoon of luster to a flat afternoon.

It is recorded, nonetheless, that Fernandes, Ventura and Vicens tempered with sweetness and effectiveness the assault on the bulls; Everyone persecuted the gallop to the horses, however very rigorously in order to not hurt them, and the festive reactions of the mendacity confirmed that they have been having a luxurious.

Rui Fernandes starred in a lucid third of flags within the first one, and didn’t concite the identical consideration to the room, however his Mistral horse drew a few pirouettes (full return on himself on the exit of the encounter with the bull) after a pair of flags, and that was last. So a lot in order that he walked an ear regardless of a last rear and opposite rejonazo that accelerated the dying of the animal. The gentleman was loopy with pleasure when he noticed the handkerchief seem on the field; Not even he believed it.

Ventura made the heroicity of preventing after the mishap that lived final Sunday in Montijo, the place he suffered a powerful trauma within the left foot and the fracture of 4 metatarsal bones that required a surgical intervention that bullfight has delayed to satisfy its dedication in San Isidro. His first was everybody’s blessed, and Ventura was effective, as is regular in him, and will solely stand out in a two -handed flags with the bronze horse with out head. The fifth both raised downside, and Ventura made debut to Quitasueño, with which he infected the laying with two breaks on the identical face of the bull that scratched perfection. He killed a rear rejon and wanted three blows of executioner from the highest of the horse.

And learn Vicens didn’t star in a superb efficiency. That states that he was effectively, however he at all times caught to the rump, failed within the placement of some flags, and he had the dangerous luck that his bulls have been embedded on the finish in tables, which significantly hindered the location of the dying rejon. Such circumstance was not an impediment to granting him an ear, when the sixth – which was essentially the most enraged within the run – was on his strategy to the disinchiers, regardless of a ugly, deep puncture.

Honor and glory for the six bulls of El Capea, who already benefit from the sky of the courageous bulls. Amen.
