This time it was our racing stables that experienced a dark week. After being examined at the Brno clinic it was learned that Hastaven (FR) has a problem with a rear leg; this injury will definitely keep the horse out of this year’s Grand Pardubice. Two-year-old Skinfaxi (GER*) died suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday. And on Sunday seven-year-old Kolorado (POL) suffered an injury in Merano after trying to avoid a fallen horse during a race. He finished the race with an injured fetter bone and on the basis of the first examination it appears as if his racing career is in jeopardy. Kolorado (POL) is already back at the stables with his leg in a cast, though not showing any signs of fatigue from the race or transport.
At the end of the season two-time Grand Pardubice champion Registana (GER) ended her highly successful racing career and was sent to the horse farm. She arrived in Etzean last Thursday to fulfil her maternal obligations.
Arriving from Etzean to the Czech Republic was Sweet Answer (GB), who will now be stabled at Napajedla and is to be bred this year with a studhorse from Poland.
Also at Etzean along with Registana are this year’s foals:
Last year’s foals Olmaia (GER*) and Skinfaxi (GER*) have already been transferred to Světlá Hora to begin their racing training.
