Feria de Mont-de-Marsan, long live Pedraza,

Equatorial temperature for a great afternoon of bullfights. Excellent batch of Pedraza de Yeltes. An ear for Lamelas. Two ears for Dufau who leaves in triumph accompanied by his two picadors and the mayoral.

Bulls!

Pedraza is great and the Plumaçon asks for more. The feria ended with a remarkable race by the Pedraza de Yeltes, ganaderia who had already triumphed last year. Even if this vintage was less complete than the previous one, by its gleaming presentation, by its variety, by its behavior, it will have brought the race and the game of a final of very beautiful dimension. The remains of two toros are honored with a post-mortem tribute, undoubtedly excessive for the first, manso con casta, tremendously spectacular on horseback, totally legitimate for the last, a large complete toro. Lopez Chávezas usual, was an exemplary leader of the lidia, a good, tasty bullfighter who killed badly. Lamellas, accomplished, just toreant, cut off an ear to the second Pedraza. Then the one everyone was waiting for. At the turn. Thomas Dufau who played the rest of his adventure on this corrida. Dufau who on the manso galloping four times on horseback achieves a quiet, classic, linked trasteo. He couldn’t be satisfied with that. So at the formidable sixth, the Gascon will offer a recital of finesse, commitment, will and licked toreo. A great thrust would have earned him two appendages. He leaves in triumph overwhelmed, crushed by emotion. Plumaçon sings. The people are happy.

Review: needs to do better

Great Novillada from spoonful, very intense bullfight The Quintaanother beautiful and very varied race of Pedraza, Madeleine had bulls in the end. Phew! Dufau fate in legitimate triumph, he was playing big, maybe everything on this ultimate bullfight. Success also of the novillero Alvaro Alarcon. Luque is tall, the feria man with three appendages. The strongest feeling came from the beautifully intense and pure performance ofAngel Tellez. Gines Marin could have cut three trophies if he hadn’t made a mistake with the iron. Three good batches and successes without dispute which will not however be able to make forget the two fracassos of Ferrera very questionable behavior. Nor the pitiful performances of the two opening bullfights, the Victoriano del Rio and the Garcia Jiménez, very incorrectly presented for an arena of Plumaçon’s reputation. It will therefore be necessary review part of the copy as for the organization first by a more demanding choice of the ganaderias and an even more ruthless rigor in the presentation of the toros. Passing a winner is rarely a good deal. Also return to the canons of Plumaçon: variety in breeding, seriousness in the selection of batches.
