In Palermo, Labor Day is synonymous with one of the premium dates of the season and that includes in those half dozen notable classics the República Argentina, won this Thursday by Need You Tonight so that jockey Maximiliano Aserito achieved his first Group 1 and burst into tears from the moment he crossed the finish line until shortly before the trophy presentation, from the joy.

“I’ve dreamed of this day since I first started racing, and even more so since I started riding this horse. It’s so emotional, so many things going through my mind at the moment,” he confessed in the middle of the coronation, when his work was already a reality, after creating a development like the one he had in his head next to his pillow one day.
