BOY GEGATO CHAMPION AGAIN

GEGATO CONQUERS THE NORTH  : (l-r Michael Villera, handler Levi Camus, Marlon, Boy Gegato & Engr. Art Gaspar) LOYAL THUNDERBIRD-USER Reigning International Derby champion Boy Gegato shocked the cockers of Pangasinan, La Union and Ilocos with a sterling  5-0 win-loss performance for a solo championship finish in last Saturday's Ventura Cokpit Arena's P.5M 2nd Anniversary one-day 5-Cock Derby in San Carlos City. Unleashing his feared JVG Gilmore-Roundhead aces, Gegato's BG HIGH MOUNTAIN entry (in partnership with Engr. Gaspar) ruled over entries Yanyan of E. Buenafe;  AMU; HGS of Hermie Saayso; JJ Guide and house bet Jokers Wild. The victory came as a big surprise considering the birds came all the way from Bacolod, arriving in Manila on Thursday morning and then brought to Pangasinan at 11:00 p.m. for a 4-hour trip to Pangasinan.

Also scoring 6 points apiece are the entries Rafael, JJJ Tres Bastos and Pol Dominguez’s Goldquest financed by Osang dela Cruz.

The annual world cocking event is hosted by the Iloilo Sportsmen’s Association represented by Mr. Chito Tinsay, and co-presented by Thunderbird.
