Masini's fantastic victory in Milan

17.5.2004: Masini (POL) the first Czech horse to win a Gd.1 race in Western Europe

Masini (POL) with Jimmy Crowley in saddle outclassed the competition in the Sunday evening in the hurdle season's climax in Grande Steeplechase di Milano (Gd.1). The biggest minion, German Eisenherz with rider Gehm, led a part of the race but later he fell down. Masini (POL) together with French Wisborough deviated from the course approximately 1 km before the finish line. In the end, Masini (POL) outran his rival in advance of 1 and ½ lengths in the home straight. He finished the rest of the racing-course with a loss of 19 lengths. Our victorious draught was however started already 2 hours before by Kolorado's victory (again with Jimmy Crowley) in Staffe d´Orro (Steeple Gd.3). Duce (POL) was a leader for the whole time during his first start of this year in Gran Corsa Siepi di Milano (hurdles Gd.1) and in the end, he greatly came fourth right behind Regland that placed third. Only cavalrymen of Vladislav II. in 1156 gained such respect as the Czech expedition in Milan thanks to their results. But then, Vladislav's cavalrymen needed emperor Bedřich Rudovous' participation.
