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.

18.9.2005 Hastaven as the third one to enter VP

Three out of four VP qualification races fell a pray to our horses this year. After the victory of Registana (GER), defender of the last year's first place in VP, in the second qualification race and Red Dancer's victory in the third qualification race, Hastaven (FR) with Tomáš Hurt in saddle won the last race on Saturday with a big advance. Therefore, for the first time in history, three horses in yellow and blue colors of Wrbna Racing Stable will probably line up on the start of VP - Registana (GER), double winner of VP, Red Dancer (FR), that has already qualified for VP in 2003 but couldn't run because of an injury, and Hastaven (FR), that will repeat a start in VP from the last year when he didn't finish the race. After the delight by Hastaven's victory, sadness prevailed in the end, because Mangusta (POL) broke its leg in the home straight and had to be destroyed.

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.

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.
