11.10.2004 Registana defended her victory in VP
Registana (GER) with Peter Gehm defended her last year's triumph in the most prestigious Czech fence race of the season, the 114. volume VP steeplechase. This highly favored brown horse came in for this year's victory in the record time of 9:15,48 minutes, style start-finish.
Registana (GER) became a leader right after the start and started with a high pace. She was the first one to jump over the most difficult setback, Taxis' ditch, and coped with it without a problem (just like all the other horses). She remained a leader only with short exceptions for the rest of the race. In the final phase, she repelled Retriever with rider Váňa in saddle and entered the home straight in advance of more then 3 lengths. After taking the last fence she worked up the advance a little without using the riding whip. She won in a 9 lengths advance, second was Retriever, third Decent Fellow and fourth Maskul. Laneret, another trainer Olehla's ward, came fifth.
Trainer Čestmír Olehla claimed the sixth victory in VP to his name. With four victories with Železník and two with Registana, he is the most successful trainer in the history of this race.
Only the relapsed injury of Hastaven (FR) overshadowed Registana's victory. Her stable colleague and training partner was doing more than well during his first appearance in VP. He cleared the feared Taxis' ditch splendidly and remained in the front of the starting field for the first two thirds of the race. However, he had to be stopped less than 2 kilometers due to his injury.
In the general races, our other horses introduced themselves. Kolorado (POL) managed well with all his rivals in the Plynostav Pardubice Crystal Cup hurdle race. Duce (POL) and Sadomis (POL) came second and third in the PARAMO, Inc. Prize – Richard Davis Memorial steeplechase. Chrisanta (CZE) came fourth in the first Sunday race, Zlatá spona tříletých - Chládek and Tintěra Company Prize and fourth was also Montero (POL) in the CKP Chrudim Company Prize for the two-year-old horses on the day before.
