3.4.2007 First start

We will begin the racing season in Bratislava, where Kolorado (POL) and Masini (POL) will start in the Petržalka Spring Trophy. Last year’s Slovak St. Leger winner Babie Lato (POL) will debut in the hurdles along with five-year-old Earlynight (IRE), who was purchased last year in Germany. Jan Faltejsek and Paddy Aspell will ride our horses.

20.3.2007 Kolorado named Horse of the Year

Our Kolorado (POL) was named 2006 Horse of the Year in the survey by the Czech Jockey Club. De Roberto and Scyris finished second and third, respectively. Kolorado (POL) also defended last year’s victory in the steeplechase category and stable mate Diktys (CZE) was named the top hurdler.

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.

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.
