Magnus, excellent Jape and Maracana's get (a double classic winner), belonged to the Polish three-year-old elite. He is tall and long-legged. He won three races, placed third in Nagroda Pink Pearla (L) and fourth in Poland derby (Gd1). Then he was bought by Wrbna Stable.
Although he is a big horse, he proved that he's very skilful, brave, first class, quite tough a talented fencer.
In the season 2001, a new fencer star came up. During eight weeks, Magnus won a series of four hurdle races. It's not just the amount that counts, it's also about the style of his victory, when leaving his rivals dauntlessly just like a "horse from a different world."
He won the first category Cena společnosti Color Car and Cena Itálie, but above all the Badener Roulette-Preis (L) in Baden-Baden, where not only the four-year-old German elite met.
But then, odds turned up. He precociously jumped away at the fourth hurdle in Premio A.S.C.A.T., a race over hurdles in Merano, he misstepped and suffered a fractured coronal bone.
He proved that he is a calm and tough patient, was transported to a clinic in Brno and saved for breeding thanks to a Swiss professor Auer's treatment.
Unfortunately his racing career has ended but at least he got the chance to pass his talents on his gets. He was undoubtedly the best horse who has ever been trained in Světlá Hora.

Magnus began his breeding career in 2002 in Doubravy at the horse farm of Vítězslav Vanda. He then moved on to Čánka in eastern Bohemia under the care of Jiří Hovad. He again spent the 2007 insemination season in Doubravy with Mr. Vanda. His results didn’t escape the attention of the head of the largest Czech horse farm in Napajedla and he was leased to them from this year.
