18.5.2006 Dark Italian weekend
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.
1.3.2006 Horses of the year 2005
Darsalam again became the Best horse of the Year. Kolorado (POL) was awarded the best steepler; he outsmarted his stable colleague Registana (GER). Duce (POL) became the Best Hurdler. In this category, he was better than Lark (CZE), one of our other representatives.
10.11.2005 Kolorado won
Kolorado (POL) started for the second time this year and for the second time he won. After his victory in Grande steeple chase di Milano in the spring, this time he won with jockey Marek Stomský in Premio Lainate, a 4000 m steeplechase. He was 3 1/2 lengths ahead of the second horse.
10.10.2005 Registana didn't finish Velká pardubická
Three horses in blue and yellow colors appeared at the start of Velká pardubická vol. 115. Unfortunately, Registana's hope for the third victory in a row dissipated. She jumped the fence very high, didn't land well and lost the jockey. Our next representative Red Dancer (FR) set the pace fast and was the first one to clear the Taxis ditch and Hastaven (FR) was right behind him. They both coped with the ditch well just like the other horses but unfortunately, Hastaven (FR) lost his rider as well in front of the Irish bench. Thereby only Dušan Andrés with Red Dancer (FR) remained on the racing-course in advance of all the others and continued with fast pace, but that turned up fatal for the most of the horses (the race was finished by only 7 horses) and at the same time it contributed to the record-breaking time of this year's Velká pardubická. Unfortunately, Red Dancer (FR) was then at the end of his rope and placed sixth. The winner was Maskul, leaving behind Decent Fellow and Laneret, who came third.
12.9.2005 Registana still undefeated
Registana (GER) prolonged a fantastic series without a defeat in Merano, Italy, where she won a steeplechase in 3900m in Premio Val Pusteria with J. Crowley in saddle. Duce (POL), that carried the heaviest weight of the race, came third in the day's main race (4000m) Premio Li Corsa Siepi di Merano, Gd.1 over wicker hurdles.
