11.10.2004 Registana defended her victory in VP
Registana (GER) with Peter Gehm defended her last year's triumph in the most prestigious Czech fence race of the season, the 114. volume VP steeplechase. This highly favored brown horse came in for this year's victory in the record time of 9:15,48 minutes, style start-finish.
Registana (GER) became a leader right after the start and started with a high pace. She was the first one to jump over the most difficult setback, Taxis' ditch, and coped with it without a problem (just like all the other horses). She remained a leader only with short exceptions for the rest of the race. In the final phase, she repelled Retriever with rider Váňa in saddle and entered the home straight in advance of more then 3 lengths. After taking the last fence she worked up the advance a little without using the riding whip. She won in a 9 lengths advance, second was Retriever, third Decent Fellow and fourth Maskul. Laneret, another trainer Olehla's ward, came fifth.
Trainer Čestmír Olehla claimed the sixth victory in VP to his name. With four victories with Železník and two with Registana, he is the most successful trainer in the history of this race.
Only the relapsed injury of Hastaven (FR) overshadowed Registana's victory. Her stable colleague and training partner was doing more than well during his first appearance in VP. He cleared the feared Taxis' ditch splendidly and remained in the front of the starting field for the first two thirds of the race. However, he had to be stopped less than 2 kilometers due to his injury.
In the general races, our other horses introduced themselves. Kolorado (POL) managed well with all his rivals in the Plynostav Pardubice Crystal Cup hurdle race. Duce (POL) and Sadomis (POL) came second and third in the PARAMO, Inc. Prize – Richard Davis Memorial steeplechase. Chrisanta (CZE) came fourth in the first Sunday race, Zlatá spona tříletých - Chládek and Tintěra Company Prize and fourth was also Montero (POL) in the CKP Chrudim Company Prize for the two-year-old horses on the day before.
6.6.2004 Registana's victorious debut
Trainer Olehla's wards headed for three different racing-courses this weekend. Registana (GER), winner of last year's Velká pardubická, introduced herself for the first time this year. She won Premio STEEPLE-CHASE DI PRIMAVERA with Peter Gehm and thereby sustained her last year's invincibility. Almanzor, another Czech representative in this race, didn't unfortunately finish it. A race for which our Duce (POL) was enrolled was cancelled. The largest group headed for Bratislava. Tankred (POL) won seven times out of seven starts in Bratislava. He placed first in the day's main race Veľká cena Slovenska. Arganta (GER) placed second in Cena Arvy, one and ¾ lengths behind Mariella, a German mare. In other races, Sara (POL) came fourth in Cena Scottish Rifla and Alando (GER) came seventh in sprinter's Cena Ministerstva pôdohospodárstva Slovenskej republiky. Paul Eddery guided all of our horses. Chrisanta (CZE) placed sixth in 11. Moravská cena in Slušovice already on Saturday.
10.5.2004 Arganta won Jarní cena klisen
Arganta (GER) confirmed her excellent performance from Bratislava and won also Jarní cena klisen, the first classical race of the season, with Dušan Andrés in saddle. Fatra Line came second. Thereby Arganta (GER) became the first classical winner of our stable in the Czech Republic. German Valentine's Dream, a foreign champion, only placed third. Chrisanta (CZE) came in the sixth place to receive the owner's bonus. We weren't doing that well in the opening races in Pardubice on Friday and Saturday. Treviso (POL), a fence newbie, placed third in Cena společnosti COLOR CAR, s.r.o. and Samira (POL) placed fourth in Cena Stavebnin Štěpánek. Our next two representatives, Rammstein (IRE) and Hastaven (FR), didn't finish their races.
