He cut an ear.   With the second of his lot, the bravest and with genius he crashed into a wall that held the tables and did not diminish in their conditions, came with force to the horse. Ferrera placed a carious and lucid third of banderillas receiving a standing ovation from the audience. The faena was heartfelt and he took the bull through the middle, tempering and commanding the bull to place a thrust of almost immediate effect and managed to get two appendices.   Emilio de Justo, in spite of the good intention and forms, could not round off his faenas, with the first one that showed danger he heard silence and with his second one he was dedicated but did not have options to show off, it was the bull with less potability and just force, he saluted to the third.   The Colombian Juan de Castilla fell on his feet in a square that was delivered from beginning to end. With the first of his lot, noble and with transmission, he was temperate, the muleta of power that took the bull long and with his feet glued to the ground. The thrust was worth two ears. The bull that closed the bullring was more dangerous, again Juan was planted in the middle of the bull and did a commanding job, showing resources and technique. He cut an ear and a standing ovation.   So far, it has been the most complete and interesting fiesta, highlighting that when the bull comes out into the ring, the excitement and interest in the stands is tangible.

Fauro Aloi cuts a tail in Peto

Fauro Aloi captivated the audience at the bullfighting event held today in the Yucatan town of Peto, where he cut two ears and a tail to the fourth bull of the afternoon, and thus shared the main gate with Jorge Hernández Gárate, who knocked down two appendices to the second specimen of the Golondrinas bulls, in an exciting afternoon in which the Forcados de Aposento da Moita, who in this tour of Mexico are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the group, also shone.   With the first bull of his lot, Aloi was in tune throughout the whole bullfight, in which he received with “Mangérico”. Later, he brought out “Atila” in banderillas, with which he nailed three fierros, and later he placed two banderillas to the violin riding “Chato”, as well as a short one, in a performance that was to the liking of the people. When it was time to kill, he did it on the second trip, but, unfortunately, the pointillero lifted the bull and the dynasty rider had to take his foot off the ground to officiate with the descabello on three occasions, and lost the opportunity to get an appendix and received a standing ovation in the third circle.   The most important part of his performance was in the fourth bull, which he received again with “Mangérico”, with which he nailed a rejón de castigo, and then gave way to the banderillas. Even though the bull was not very cooperative, Fauro had enough patience to step on the bull and put him on the ground riding “Atila”, with whom he had the most vibrant moments, before he adorned himself on the back of “Máximo”, when the bull had already taken refuge in the stalls and he killed him with an accurate rejonazo, with fulminating effects, so that the people asked for the maximum trophies that were awarded to him.   Tomorrow Fauro will culminate his tour of Yucatan with a third bullfight in a row, as he is announced in Tizimín in another bullfight, in this case alongside Guillermo Hermoso de Mendoza, to fight a Rancho Seco bullfight, and with the presence of the Forcados Amadores de Aposento da Moita, who again, as yesterday in the Monumental Mérida, once again performed four extraordinary bullfights and received a standing ovation, in addition to having given two laps around the ring with both riders.   FESTIVAL REPORT   Peto, Yucatan.
