10.10.2005 Registana didn't finish Velká pardubická
Three horses in blue and yellow colors appeared at the start of Velká pardubická vol. 115. Unfortunately, Registana's hope for the third victory in a row dissipated. She jumped the fence very high, didn't land well and lost the jockey. Our next representative Red Dancer (FR) set the pace fast and was the first one to clear the Taxis ditch and Hastaven (FR) was right behind him. They both coped with the ditch well just like the other horses but unfortunately, Hastaven (FR) lost his rider as well in front of the Irish bench. Thereby only Dušan Andrés with Red Dancer (FR) remained on the racing-course in advance of all the others and continued with fast pace, but that turned up fatal for the most of the horses (the race was finished by only 7 horses) and at the same time it contributed to the record-breaking time of this year's Velká pardubická. Unfortunately, Red Dancer (FR) was then at the end of his rope and placed sixth. The winner was Maskul, leaving behind Decent Fellow and Laneret, who came third.
