29.5.2007 Kolorado pulled up
On Sunday Kolorado (POL) started the biggest French steeplechase, the Gras Savoye Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris, (Gr. 1, 5+, 5 800 m). However, in the rain and muddy track he was unable to repeat the performance of stable mate Masini (POL), who finished seventh two years ago. In the first half of the race Kolorado (POL) held his own in the middle of the pack. He then fell to the rear and was pulled up. Race conditions were difficult and only five horses finished the race. Video on YouTube In Pardubice Babie Lato (POL) won his first start in a steeplechase. Offspring of our studhorse Magnus (POL) also performed well: both Čajkin (CZE) and Mondeo (CZE) won their races.
12.4.2007 Kolorado finishes ahead of Masini
We began the racing season in traditional fashion in Bratislava. Both of our current stars started the Petržalka Spring Trophy - Kolorado (POL) with Paddy Aspell aboard and Masini (POL) with Jan Faltejsk in the saddle – and as expected finished in the top two positions. Despite the fact that Masini (POL) led the entire race, Kolorado (POL) finished on top. Our pair of horses in the Jindřich Němčanský Memorial, a hurdle race over 3 000 m, did not fare as well. Babie Lato (POL) finished third in his hurdle debut and newcomer Earlynight (IRE) faulted on the last jump and did not finish.
3.4.2007 First start
We will begin the racing season in Bratislava, where Kolorado (POL) and Masini (POL) will start in the Petržalka Spring Trophy. Last year’s Slovak St. Leger winner Babie Lato (POL) will debut in the hurdles along with five-year-old Earlynight (IRE), who was purchased last year in Germany. Jan Faltejsek and Paddy Aspell will ride our horses.
20.3.2007 Kolorado named Horse of the Year
Our Kolorado (POL) was named 2006 Horse of the Year in the survey by the Czech Jockey Club. De Roberto and Scyris finished second and third, respectively. Kolorado (POL) also defended last year’s victory in the steeplechase category and stable mate Diktys (CZE) was named the top hurdler.
25.9.2006 Gran Premio for Kolorado
In the biggest hurdle race held at the racetrack in Merano, Italy, the Gran Premio Merano Forst, a Grade 1 race for four-year-olds and older over 5 000 m and with a purse of EUR 320 000 our stables had the two fastest horses from the previous years – the winner two years ago, Masini (POL), with Dirk Fuhrmann aboard, and last year’s winner Kolorado (POL) with Paddy Apsell riding. However, he was later disqualified for leaving the course. Both horses were at the front during the race, but Kolorado (POL) proved strongest at the end, beating two other horses trained in the Czech Republic - Pesso and Bejrut. Masini (POL) finished fifth. Our other horses also performed well. Magnus’s son Diktys (CZE) began the afternoon with a close victory with Irish jockey Paddy Aspell in the Premio Renon, a hurdle race for three-year-olds. Theoden (POL) with Paddy Aspell again aboard then took third in the final race, the Corsa Siepi dei 4 anni over 3 500 m (Gr. 3).
