Racing day

11.7.2006: The 15th racing day was held on Saturday, 8 July in Světlá Hora

Warm and sunny weather drew over three thousand spectators to the 15th racing day in Světlá Hora, where the programme featured 7 steeplechases, two pony races and the traditional parade of our most successful horses - Registana (GER), Masini (POL) and Kolorado (POL). The top event was the traditional Wrbna Racing Stables Trophy - a cross-country steeplechase over 4 600 m. The Karlovice horse Bargiel took the lead at the start but one kilometre before the finish line Wrbna’s Sun Set (POL) ridden by Jan Faltejsk went ahead. He quickly built a lead and held it till the end in front of a charging Tanečnice. Sixteen finished third in front of Bargiel. The second most important race of the afternoon – the Světlá Hora Trophy – a hurdle race over 3 400 m, was completely dominated by Polish stables, which were invited to our races for the first time and immediately arrived in large numbers. Juno Royal led by amateur Pavel Peprna beat Kalmar and Krogulec. The Polish representatives enjoyed their time here and promised to be back next year in even greater numbers. The first race on the programme – the Sven Car Trophy – was won easily by Lakreg with Bohuslav Mátl aboard; Jack de Traou Land and Joshua finished second and third, respectively. The traditional Alžběta Hradilová Trophy was dominated by Atura with Radek Havelka aboard; Lakosta and Sajmon finished second and third. The Živa Trophy was won by Dyktando with jockey Marek Stromský over Jacuzzi and Wrbna’s Theoden (POL). The EPI Trophy was won with conviction by Kathalpo with jockey Josef Bartoš over the ageless duo of Everton and Folklór. The final race, the Landbau Trophy, was marred by an unpleasant occurrence. The technical personnel began to prematurely remove the hurdle at the finish line; this hurdle is jumped twice during the course of the race. The workers noticed this mistake, but while being moved one part of the hurdle fell due to a construction error and the shortage of time did not permit the hurdle to be restored to its original condition. Because this narrowed hurdle did not fulfil the conditions of the race code (and two horses swerved and lost their riders) the racing commission annulled the race. One of the horses impacted by this error was our Kamienczyk (POL) with jockey Faltejsek. Immediately after the racing day we completely reconstructed our light wooden hurdles to avoid a similar situation in the future. Racehorse owners received their registration and starting fees back and our company compensated riders in a similar manner. The large field spread out during the course of the race and this mitigated problems. Nevertheless, not all of the horses demonstrated a sufficient level of jumping training and this, unfortunately, was the cause of a serious injury to one horse and three falls by riders. Fortunately, they avoided injury. Detailed race results
