22.11.2004 Slovak awards

Závodisko Bratislava officially published the results of a traditional balance poll at a press conference on Thursday. For the first time in Slovak history, both gallop awards went to horses of one stable and wards of one trainer according to the votes of 93 owners, trainers, officers and journalists. Award Flat horse of the Year went to Arganta (GER) who won four times out of five starts, among others Cena Trojročných kobýľ, Oaks, Saint Leger, and once she came second. Thereby she defended last year's Tankred's victory, who came second this year. He hasn't lost once on a racing-course but hasn't finished the season due to an injury. Award Fence horse of the Year went to Big Six (IRE) who wasn't defeated once within his five starts in Bratislava. The prestigeous award The Trainer of the Year therefore went to the trainer of both of the champions Čestmír Olehla. Jaroslav Línek became the Rider of the Year. The poll results are available on Bratislava's racing-course website Horse of year 2004. We were doing quite well even in the 12 other subcategories. Tankred (POL) won the Best Endurance Runner category, Arganta (GER) placed second and Zagon placed third; Arganta (GER) was declared the Best Three-Year-Old Mare and Tankred (POL) was declared the Best Four-Year-Old and Older Stallion (Gelding). In this category, Scyris, Zagon and Tribal Instinct placed as well. Sara (POL) placed second in the Best Four-Year-Old and Older Mare category and King Marc placed fourth among the three-year-old stallions. You can find the detailed results on Bratislava's racing-course website Best horses 2004.

19.7.2004 King Marc had to be stopped in Slovak derby

A promisingly progressing racing afternoon ended badly this weekend in Bratislava. King Marc (GER), second from the Czech derby, couldn't finish the XII. Slovak derby due to an injury and was stopped by jockey Paul Eddery during the race. Today's veterinary examination should reveal the relevance of the injury. Victory of a Bratislava's racing-course sovereign Tankred (POL) was just a small plaster for our colors. He won a 2600m Zlatý pohár ahead of Nolan. Arganta (GER) won a 2000m Cena klisen Pat´s Music ahead of Aparta. Alando (GER) placed fourth in a sprinter's 1000m race Cena Mysa.

28.6.2004 King Marc second in derby

King Marc (GER) repeated his stable colleague's Tankred (POL) last year's performance in an 84. Czech derby and placed second. King Marc (GER) maintained his second position during the whole race behind German Malt and gained the lead position after two thousand meters. However he was no match for excellent Darsalam and in the end came second with a three and a quarter lengths delay. Abroad competitors, German Stin and Polish Jan Herman, placed behind them. Tankred (POL) proved his qualities in a previous race. He won the best competitors' race Zlatý pohár Setuzy with an overwhelming finish ahead of Nolan and Poderoso, another champion Tribal Instinct came last. Arganta (GER) confirmed the excellent performance of trainer Olehla's wards in Cena hřebčína Napajedla, where she won and defeated Radoslava and Aparta. British jockey Paul Eddery guided all of our horses.
