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.
14.12.2005 Registana and Kolorado with highest handicap
General handicaps 2005 were published in the Czech turf´s bulletin. Horses owned by Wrbna Racing won all the age categories of the hurdle handicap. The best three-year-old hurdle horse is Theoden (POL) who got a 80,0 kg handicap. In the four-year-old´s category, Lark (CZE) placed first (85,0 kg); Sun Set (POL) came fourth (78,0 kg). In the classification of the five- and six-year-olds, six of our horses were in the top twelve. Kolorado (POL) together with Registana (GER) were rated best handicappers in the Czech Republic.(both 95,0 kg). Duce (POL) came fourth (91,5 kg), Red Dancer (FR) came eighth (89,0 kg), Masini (POL) tenth (87,0 kg) and Hastaven (FR) twelfth(86,0 kg).
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.
26.9.2005 Disqualification followed a triumph
Unbelievable! After a fantastic performance in a richly endowed Gran Premio Merano Forst, Kolorado was disqualified. Kolorado (POL) answered unambiguously to a question whether he could imitate Masini's last year's victory. He was a leader during the whole race and in the last kilometre it was almost for sure that this race will solely be a contest between him and the French favorite Domirome. After that, Kolorado (POL) managed to cope with the French in the final fight and won in a three lengths advance. And then we experienced a shock when the two best were disqualified because they entered the final phase of the racing-course running on the shorter track of the racing-course. Therefore, Rosenbrief, that was supposed to place third, became a winner. This event overshadowed the fact that our Sun Set (POL) came eighth in the following hurdle race of Gd3 category. And so the biggest success of the past evening was Treviso's third place in Friday's Premio Pardubice.
