Baggio (POL) was victorious this past Sunday in the Merano Premio Spegasso steeplechase; with Paddy Aspell aboard Baggio (POL) beat Gont in an exciting finish. Babie Lato (POL) won a week before in Vienna in the Listed hurdle race over 4 600 m.
Two of our three weekend victories came at the Chuchle Racetrack in Prague. Despite carrying the heaviest handicap, Pate (GER) handled his return to the track after health problems by winning the Parvest Fund Trophy, a Grade 2 flat race over 2 200 m, with Martin Srnec aboard. Jockey Martin Srnec added another victory aboard debutant Klaus (POL) in the Franklin Templeton Funds Trophy for two-year-olds without wins. Our final standard bearer, Tantor (POL), ran fourth in the Conseq Invest Funds Gersch Memorial. The successful weekend was capped as Paddy Aspell rode Kolorado (POL) to a “mandatory” win in the 33rd Velká Starohájská steeplechase in Bratislava.
Savignon (POL) redeemed an unsuccessful performance in the Czech Derby by winning the 62nd Tattersalls St. Leger in Prague, withstanding a charge by second-place Derby finisher and clear favourite Charley by a length. Jockey Tomáš Lukášek thus delivered another classic victory for our colours.
After Registana (GER) and Sweet Answer (GB) two other mares are pregnant at Etzean - Arganta (GER) by Sholokhov (IRE) and Oxalana (GER) by Sabiango (GER).
