Pedigree notes
Ocurrencia is a full sister to Ocasion, third dam of Premio Miguel Angel y Tomas Juarez Celman winner Ipareza, and to Irrision, third dam of Premio Eliseo Ramirez winner La Gaucha. The sisters are out of Haras San Jacinto foundation mare Meltona (by 1885 Derby and St. Leger Stakes winner Melton), who was imported to Argentina in 1906. Meltona, in turn, was produced from the English sprint stakes winner Oria, by 1890 Champion Stakes winner Orion (by Bend Or) out of Hortensia, by 1888 Two Thousand Guineas and Derby Stakes winner Ayrshire.
