Madrid banderillero Raúl Ruiz was seriously gored with a 25 cm wound in his right thigh during the first event of the Feria de la Comunidad de Madrid at Las Ventas bullring. The incident happened while banderilling the sixth bull from El Retamar. Álvaro Serrano stood out with tempered naturals despite the poor performance of the animals.

Three capable novilleros, El Mella, Cid de María and Tomás Bastos, shared three ovations in a novillada with picadores at Madrid's Plaza de Las Ventas on April 19. The six novillos from Antonio Palla generally lacked class and commitment, though the fourth was applauded on its drag. The trio showed clear intent to triumph before an audience of less than half capacity.
