Andrés Roca Rey returned to the ring after his serious goring in Las Ventas with a serious bullfight from Fuente Ymbro. It was his last afternoon of the Spanish season, a hard afternoon, in which the stands became a battlefield with the public divided and with a mishap for the Peruvian, who tore off an ear. The Condor also carried a trophy in its reappearance in Ecuador, specifically in the Plaza de Latucanga, where it held a one-on-one match with the Frenchman Sebastián Castella, who came out on shoulders in the first bullfight of the San Isidro Labrador Fair.
After being caught by the bull Soplón, owned by rancher Ricardo Gallardo, at the last Autumn Fair, Roca Rey underwent surgery in the Monumental infirmary in Venteña for “a goring, with a serious prognosis, on the posterior surface of the proximal third of the right thigh, with two trajectories, one forward of 15 centimeters, which causes damage to the hamstring muscles and bruises the sciatic nerve, and another inwards of 15 centimeters, which causes damage to the gluteus maximus muscle.
That afternoon of October 6, the ‘No tickets’ sign was posted. And again yesterday in the Ecuadorian arena the space was full. For the occasion, bulls from the pastures of Triana (first and second) and Huagrahuasi (third and fourth) were fought.
According to the ‘Mundotoro’ chronicle, Roca Rey was very confident with the second, the bull of his reappearance, which he squeezed in an intense task. Although the series with the right hand had greater depth in the stretches, the natural ones were of great stroke. The jab before the thrust made everything end in a standing ovation. In front of the room, an outcast and lacking animal tore off his ear. The man from Lima used courage and intelligence and implemented the task on the animal’s land. Fastened with inverted circulars. He punctured again before burying the steel.
Castella carried out the most resounding task for the extraordinary third, who was successful from the receipt by verónicas and the removal by chicuelinas. After a beginning with changed passes, the work went further, displaying his most classic bullfighting with low-handed muletazos and with mettle. He killed with an effective thrust and cut off two ears. Steel deprived him of the possible prize in which he opened a place.
This Sunday Andrés Roca Rey will fulfill one of his most special appointments, the reunion with his Plaza de Acho within the Lord of Miracles Fair in Lima. He will once again share the bill with Castella in a shortlist completed by José María Manzanares. The bulls will be from Núñez del Cuvillo.
