Toroslam update

I am currently ranked 655 out of around 1300 players I think. The best I ranked was in the mid-500's after Andy Cartagena got his Puerta del Principe last month in Sevilla. (He was on my cartel.)

After that I steadily slid back into the 600's. I guess I am not that good at picking good bullfighters, I go more with a gut feeling than actually looking at the stats.

That is probably why I am horrible at gambling, I hardly ever win. Good example, I had picked Great White to win the Kentucky Derby last week and with my luck the horse had to be scratched while he was waiting to load into the gates. For some reason her reared up and fell over. 

Good thing my pick was just for fun, not any real money riding it.

Anyway, the Toroslam fun will continue.

I give thanks everyday

I give thanks everyday I get to occasionally watch bullfights from the comfort of my own home here in the US.

This would have never even entered my mind when I was a kid reading "Death in the Afternoon", and now here it is a reality, at least while OneToro is still an option.

And I pray everyday OneToro never goes away.

Fortes, con un toro de La Quinta

Un toro de Miura en Sevilla

It doesn't get any better than that, saying "Un toro de Miura en Sevilla."

They just go hand in hand.

- 124 photos by Aritz Arambarri from April 26, last day of the Feria. Aritz Arambarri is a new photographer that is putting up some amazing bullfight photos. I saw him first on Instagram then noticed Mundotoro was partnering with him on their site. A lot of his photos are the "artsy" photos that sometimes I don't like, you know the ones, where they use a certain filter that makes the photo look different than if you were there in real life. Too much shadow, too bright of light, things like that. But I usually just skip those and get to the ones I like which he has many.
