Dark Italian weekend

18.5.2006: Neither Kolorado (POL) nor Duce (POL) repeat in Milan

Sunday’s meeting in Milan proved unlucky for our stables as we tried to defend two victories from last year in Grade 1 races. Last year’s winner of the Grade 1 Gran Steeplechase di Milano Kolorado (POL) fell along with Nero three obstacles before the finish line while jumping over a loose bar. Though it was possible to remount Kolorado (POL), last year’s champion finished fifth. His stable mate Sun Set (POL) finished fourth behind another Czech horse, Pesso. Things turned out even worse in the second Grade 1 race of the day – the Gran Corsa Siepi di Milano. Last year’s defending champion Duce (POL) fell along with Lark (CZE) and did not finish the race. Unfortunately Lark (CZE), the second best hurdler after Duce (POL) last year, fell so badly that this was the last race of his life. In the end the race was annulled. The lone success was Daquan’s fourth place finish in the Premio Siepi Dei 4 anni. Two of our three-year-old hopefuls ran last weekend in the Czech Republic. At the Most racetrack on Saturday De Dur (POL) finished sixth in the Dr. Frankenberger Memorial and on Sunday in Chuhle Seven Rings (CZE) finished fourth in the Sklo Bohemia Trophy.
