16.10.2007 The victorious premiere of Moning Let

Despite the fact that an injury took Hastaven (FR) out the Grand Pardubice, the main race last weekend in Pardubice, we brought home two victories from Pardubice in general races. Newcomer Moning Let (SLO) with Dušan Andrés aboard easily won the “Labe Trophy” in the 5 200 m cross-country steeplechase. The second victory was recorded by Baggio (POL) in the Vltava Trophy in the 4 500 m cross-country steeplechase. On the other hand, neither Tajnaron (POL) nor Pate (GER) finished in the money in their races. Only two of our horses started in Saturday’s flat races after favourite Batalistyka (POL) was scratched. Savignon (POL) finished fifth in the Domec St. Leger, a Grade NL flat race over 2 900 m; two-year-old Klaus (POL) finished fourth in the “INGBAU CZ Trophy - the Pardubice Winter Favourite,” a Grade 1 flat race over 1 750 m.

25.9.2007 Batalistyka is the winter queen

Three horses in our yellow and blue colours ran last weekend at the Bratislava racetrack. In the main race of the day, the Saint Leger, a Listed flat race over 2 800 m for three-year-olds, Savignon (POL) was unable to repeat his performance at the Prague St. Leger and finished third, one and three-quarters lengths behind the winning horse. The other Czech representative, Shaman (CZE), an offspring of our studhorse Magnus (POL), finished sixth. Batalistyka (POL) (Jape) won by one and a quarter lengths in one of the top races for two-year-olds – the Winter Queen Trophy, a Grade 1 flat race over 1 600 m. Tajnaron (POL) finished fifth in the Corsa Trophy hurdle race.

10.7.2007 Racing day

 Světlá Hora 7.7.07 While the windy conditions and cloudy skies may have discouraged some potential spectators, attendance nevertheless approached three thousand. The cooler weather was ideal for horses and thanks to the rain over the past several weeks the track was in a perfect supple condition. The programme featured seven traditional steeplechase races, two pony races and a parade with our star horses Diktys (CZE) and Kolorado (POL). Masini (POL), who was in the Brno Veterinary Clinic following an operation, was missing from the show. Baggio (POL) Světlá Hora 7.7.07 The top event was the traditional Wrbna Racing Stables Trophy – a cross-country steeplechase over 4 600 m. Albert’s white horse Amant Gris took the lead at the start and set a brisk pace. At the very end of the race he succumbed to a well-timed charge by half-blood Tomis from the Jantar Bruntál stables with Jaroslav Myška aboard. Wrbna’s Baggio (POL) took third carrying the heaviest handicap; Aton finished fourth and Ginsana fifth. Tajnaron (POL) Světlá Hora 7.7.07 The second most important race of the afternoon – the Světlá Hora Trophy – a hurdle race over 3 400 m, had to be rerun at the end of the racing programme. The first attempt was stopped due the fall of a rider, who remained injured on the track. Wrbna’s Tajnaron (POL) with Jan Faltejsk aboard won the repeat race, thus successfully defending his hurdling career. The leader for much of the race, Esrisk, finished second; Liman came in third. Hastaven (FR) Světlá Hora 7.7.07 The first race of the day - the Sven Car Trophy – a cross-country steeplechase over 4 100 m, was won easily by Wrbna’s veteran Hastaven (FR) with Jan Faltejsek aboard. Morávka and Valesa finished second and third respectively. Last year’s champion jockey Josef Bartoš unfortunately suffered a fall and injury in this race. Teviot with Bohuslav Mátel aboard won the Alžběta Hradilová Trophy, a steeplechase for four-year-olds over 3 500 m, finishing ahead of Láva z Rusína and Chanda. Wrbna’s Number One (POL) did not finish in the money in his steeplechase debut. The Agrotec Trophy – a hurdle race for five-year-olds and older over 3 400 m was won by Gernia with Bohuslav Mátel aboard. Night Express and Wrbna’s Nowy Corleone (POL) finished second and third respectively. The E.P.I Trophy – a steeplechase over 3 400 m – was won in typical fashion by another veteran, Everton with Jaroslav Myška aboard, over Minorita and Něžný Barbar. In the hurdle race for three-year-olds – the Landbau Trophy – Mike Grant with Dušan Andrés aboard beat Desterro and Veramente. The finely prepared track seduced a number of jockeys into taking risks, which unfortunately resulted in a number of pointless falls and injuries, including a fatal injury to one horse.
