In the "Big prize of EŽ" Color Man (GB) confirmed his role as a favourite and has added his third victory to his record this year. The stable tandem Arcibaldo (GER*) – Demon Magic (CZE) perfectly took control over the richly subsidized Yoko Cup and Arcibaldo (GER*) thus made-up for his unsuccessful performance in the "Prize of Winter Favourite “. After a dramatic finish, Savignon (POL) took the third place in the "Prize of the President" race. In this event, Diamond King (GER) did not perform so well after the loss of his horseshoe, as he has slumped down to the depths of the field.
In spite of not having a representative in this year’s "Velká Pardubická", the Sunday had proven to be successful for us, as our horses had managed to gain two victories and two second places. Color Man (GB) earned a very easy victory in the "Crystal Cup", Ignacio (CZE) victoriously stood out between four-year-olds in the "ČASCH Prize", Jaady (USA) fought for the second place with Royal Mougins in the "Paramo Prize" and Red Dancer (FR) ended-up second in the "Prize of Vltava".
Batalistyka (POL) started out from the box with the highest start number on the track, 2000 m long, in the Slovak Oaks. The race was slow to get under way and she was drawn on at the end of the field. In a fast finish she battled it out, moved to the front, but it helped her only to rank fourth after Determinacja, Sajgonka and a Polish star, Nick of Memory. On the other hand, it is certain that we have found the cure for her nervosity before her starts in future races. In Prague, a four-year-old Color Man (GB) in just a third start of his life, raced against the elite hurdle jumpers in the "Golden cup of EŽ Prague" and took third place. However, he has a lot to learn. His stablemate, a two-year-old Demon Magic (CZE), made his debut among Czech followers with a second place, when he demonstrated an interesting finish.
After injuries to his hooves the three-year-old Klaus (POL) must have left out the preceding classic races, "Big spring prize" and “Derby”. He started again after his victory in July as a joint favourite for the closing classic race, the Saint Leger. However he did live-up to the expectations, as at the finish of the race, he fell away from the front positions and finished seventh. The reason was, again, painful hooves. Color Man (GB) has, after a longer break, arrived to try the hurdle track in Prague, but did not confirm his winning form from Bratislava and, after a confused performance, he took fifth place.
On Tuesday 11 July 2007 our stables purchased two three-year-old geldings at an auction held by the Tattersalls company in Newmarket, England:
