12.11.2006 Victory in Milan

Our horses made their last racetrack appearances of the year on Saturday. In Milan Diktys (CZE) with Jan Faltejs aboard won the race with the largest purse, a Grade 2 hurdle race for three-year-olds over 3 600 m, the Premio Giulio Berlingieri. In the opening race our horse Masini (POL) finished second to Bejrut in the Listed steeplechase over 4 000 m, the Premio Lainate.

8.11.2006 Registana is in Germany

At the end of the season two-time Grand Pardubice champion Registana (GER) ended her highly successful racing career and was sent to the horse farm. She arrived in Etzean last Thursday to fulfil her maternal obligations.

Arriving from Etzean to the Czech Republic was Sweet Answer (GB), who will now be stabled at Napajedla and is to be bred this year with a studhorse from Poland.

Also at Etzean along with Registana are this year’s foals:

Last year’s foals Olmaia (GER*) and Skinfaxi (GER*) have already been transferred to Světlá Hora to begin their racing training.

9.10.2006 Babie Lato again victorious

Fresh off victory in the Slovak Saint Leger, Babie Lato (POL) added another win at Saturday’s top category flat races. Babie Lato (POL) won as the favourite in the Pardubice Domec Saint Leger, Grade NL over 2 900 m, finishing two lengths ahead of Ready for Life. Diamond King (GER) took fourth place for our stables in the CKP Chrudim Trophy, a flat race over 1 750 m pro for two-year-olds.

9.10.2006 Cursed Grand Pardubice for Hastaven

Bad luck accompanies Hastaven (FR) to the Grand Pardubice. Hastaven (FR) has started three times in the most difficult steeplechase of the year, the Grand Pardubice, and though he has managed to clear the most demanding obstacle, the Great Taxis Ditch, each time, he has never reached the finish line. In his first start in the Grand Pardubice he was pulled up in the final third of the race after suffering an injury; last year he lost his rider before the Irish Pew, and this year his jockey again fell off during the race. Hastaven (FR) entered the race as the winner of one of the qualification events, beating stable mate and two-time Grand Pardubice winner Registana (GER). After Registana (GER) and Red Dancer (FR) were forced out due to injuries, Hastaven (FR) was the lone representative of our stables. He held the lead from the start, clearing Taxis Ditch without any troubles. But after the ride through the forest he lost his rider in one of the jumps, ending all hopes. After the fall of another favourite, Maskula, the race was won by Decent Fellow with Josf Bartoš aboard. We had mixed success in the other races on the programme. Sun Set (POL) finished second in the Vltava Trophy, a cross-country steeplechase over 4 500 m. In the Chládek and Tiňtěra of Pardubice Trophy – the Golden Belt for three-year-olds Seven Rings (CZE), an offspring of Magnus (POL) and Sesi (CZE), finished third in front of stable mate De Dur (POL). Treviso (POL) suffered an injury and did not finish his first race.

25.9.2006 Gran Premio for Kolorado

In the biggest hurdle race held at the racetrack in Merano, Italy, the Gran Premio Merano Forst, a Grade 1 race for four-year-olds and older over 5 000 m and with a purse of EUR 320 000 our stables had the two fastest horses from the previous years – the winner two years ago, Masini (POL), with Dirk Fuhrmann aboard, and last year’s winner Kolorado (POL) with Paddy Apsell riding. However, he was later disqualified for leaving the course. Both horses were at the front during the race, but Kolorado (POL) proved strongest at the end, beating two other horses trained in the Czech Republic - Pesso and Bejrut. Masini (POL) finished fifth. Our other horses also performed well. Magnus’s son Diktys (CZE) began the afternoon with a close victory with Irish jockey Paddy Aspell in the Premio Renon, a hurdle race for three-year-olds. Theoden (POL) with Paddy Aspell again aboard then took third in the final race, the Corsa Siepi dei 4 anni over 3 500 m (Gr. 3).
