Argentina's top harness racing pacer, Chucaro Arts Surco, has completed his quarantine and arrived Monday at his new home with trainer Angela Porfilio at the Meadows Racetrack in Pennsylvania.
As a two-year-old, Chucaro Arts Surco won an astounding 20 races in just 24 starts last year under the tutelage of trainer Sebastian Gonzalez. He is owned by the Bencardin Family of Argentina.
Chucaro Art Surco closed out his 2016 season with a very impressive 1:57 track record triumph (1609 meters race) in the Argentina Breeders Crown Championship final.
“He is feeling good,” Said trainer Angela Porfilio. “I already took him to jog a few laps and he is happy and very well behaved.”
Porfilio has had success with other imports from Argentina, including Albionkinginfinito, who earlier this season won three straight races at the Meadows, including a lifetime mark of 1:52.4.
Porfilio hopes that Chucaro Arts Surco, once adjusted to his new surroundings, will be the best Argentinian import ever to the USA.
