On 16.4., at Cheltenham's National Hunt Sale, the offspring of Magnus (POL) Kaskadér (CZE) (Magnus (POL) - Kaskája, Keen) was sold for the extraordinary price of 105,000 pounds.

21.5.2007 Masini again victorious

After three year Masini (POL) repeated victory in the Grande steeple chase di Milano, a Grade 1 race over 5 000 m. With Paddy Aspell aboard, Masini (POL) rode to a four and a half length victory over another Czech horse, Iraklion. The excellent form of our horses was confirmed by the second place finish by Diktys (CZE) in the Premio Staffe d'Oro, a Grade 3 steeplechase over 3 600 m. Pate (GER) came into the Grand Spring Trophy in Prague as one of the favourites but after a poor start finished fifth. Shaman (CZE), an offspring of our studhorse Magnus (POL), finished third.

9.10.2006 Cursed Grand Pardubice for Hastaven

Bad luck accompanies Hastaven (FR) to the Grand Pardubice. Hastaven (FR) has started three times in the most difficult steeplechase of the year, the Grand Pardubice, and though he has managed to clear the most demanding obstacle, the Great Taxis Ditch, each time, he has never reached the finish line. In his first start in the Grand Pardubice he was pulled up in the final third of the race after suffering an injury; last year he lost his rider before the Irish Pew, and this year his jockey again fell off during the race. Hastaven (FR) entered the race as the winner of one of the qualification events, beating stable mate and two-time Grand Pardubice winner Registana (GER). After Registana (GER) and Red Dancer (FR) were forced out due to injuries, Hastaven (FR) was the lone representative of our stables. He held the lead from the start, clearing Taxis Ditch without any troubles. But after the ride through the forest he lost his rider in one of the jumps, ending all hopes. After the fall of another favourite, Maskula, the race was won by Decent Fellow with Josf Bartoš aboard. We had mixed success in the other races on the programme. Sun Set (POL) finished second in the Vltava Trophy, a cross-country steeplechase over 4 500 m. In the Chládek and Tiňtěra of Pardubice Trophy – the Golden Belt for three-year-olds Seven Rings (CZE), an offspring of Magnus (POL) and Sesi (CZE), finished third in front of stable mate De Dur (POL). Treviso (POL) suffered an injury and did not finish his first race.

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).

27.6.2005 Baggio fifth in Czech Derby

Two representatives of our stable appeared at once on the start of the 85. Czech Derby - Baggio (POL) and Ozermes (SLO). In this very slow race (the slowest since 1982), mare Ready for Life came first, Baggio (POL) came fifth and Ozermes (SLO) tenth. In the general races, Babie Lato (POL) came fourth in Simson's KonekTela Inc. Prize, a second category 1200m flat, behind Florestano (CZE), our stallion Magnus' get, that came third. Three-year-old Daquan (POL) was also doing well – he came fourth in Nature Prize, a first category 1600m flat for three-year-old and older horses.
