Se Va Colando wins Gran Premio Pamplona, earns Breeders' Cup berth

Se Va Colando did more than win Peru’s Gran Premio Pamplona. She turned a sharp 2 1/2-turn-style statement at Hipódromo de Monterrico into a passport for the $2 million Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Keeneland.

The 3-year-old daughter of Treasure Beach (GB) earned the automatic berth through the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series on April 26, giving Stud Jet Set and trainer J. Suárez Villarroel a direct line into one of the year’s biggest stages. With the 2026 World Championships set for Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky, the result changes the scope of her season immediately. She is no longer just a promising South American turf filly. She is now part of the global conversation.

That is the real weight of a Win and You’re In race. A local Group 1 can reshape a mare’s campaign, her value, and the way owners map out the rest of the year. Se Va Colando already looked the part before the Pamplona, having won four of her last five starts and taking the listed Clasico Mari July in her most recent victory. Her only loss in that run came in the Clasico Oscar Berckemeyer Pazos (G3), when she finished second over 2,000 meters behind Compasion in October.

This time, the result was cleaner and faster. In a 14-horse field, Huber Bocanegra settled her mid-pack, slipped between horses behind an opening half in :47.30 and 6 furlongs in 1:10.67, then asked for the move that mattered. Se Va Colando responded, drove through traffic, and pulled clear to beat Super Sienna by about 3 lengths in 2:01.24. That time also compares favorably with the 2:03.64 clocking from her runner-up effort in the Oscar Berckemeyer Pazos, a sign that the filly is moving forward rather than merely holding form.

Compasion, who had beaten her in that earlier Group 3, finished seventh this time. That matters. It suggests Se Va Colando’s Monterrico performance was not just a rebound; it was a clear upgrade against a rival that already had her number once.

Bred in Argentina by Vacacion S.A. and the first group winner out of the Dynamix mare Tulipera, Se Va Colando now carries a pedigree and a résumé that travel well. Monterrico has become part of the Breeders’ Cup pipeline, and with one efficient win, Se Va Colando moved from regional star to a legitimate Filly and Mare Turf contender.
