In 2014, Miura’s Bull-farm, from Lora del Río (Seville) will take part in their 34rd running of the bulls having had a total of 35 participations. The legend of their highly noble behavior and superb size among the general public is beginning to change over these last few years. More recently, while they have not lost their noble behavior or their superb size, they do seem to have improved in speed and in danger, and are now more likely to cause some gorings than they used to do. Between 1980 and 2000, there was just a total of one goring made by this bull-breed over all those years whereas between 2000 and 2012, there were eleven gorings made. The most dangerous stretch to run against the Miura bulls would seem to be the final stretch leading to the bullring, where three of the most recent gorings took place. These bulls tend to run close together, but their large size means that they can also easily slip up at the Mercaderes stretch, especially at the corner with Estafeta Street. Over some of the most recent running of the bulls these Miura bulls which have become detached from the others and which have had to run alone, have created some very dangerous moments. They have slipped up because of their size and not because they are, in any way, tired and so they still have all their strength to cause mayhem if given the opportunity.
