24.5.2008 Moning Let did not finish the qualification

Ronino (POL) turned his first life start on the racetrack in Pardubice into a victory, when he easily won in the hurdle race for three-year-old horses, "The prize of the University of Pardubice". On the contrary, Moning Let (SLO), fell at the Irish Bench by her first year’s start – the 1st qualification on Velká Pardubicka, the "Big prize of town Pardubice". From a fearsome looking fall, he fortunately made it without any serious injuries. Theoden (POL), the final representative of the colours of Světlá Hora, placed third in the classic steeplechase (2nd category).

4.6.2007 Two victories in Merano

Our stables enjoyed a successful weekend in Italy. At the racetrack in Merano Diktys (CZE) (Magnus (POL)) won the Premio Val Casies, a steeplechase over 3 800 m and Baggio (POL) won the Premio Val d`Ega, another steeplechase over 3 800 m. Theoden (POL) added a second place finish in the Premio Brunico, a hurdle race over 3 300 m. Both of our horses finished in the money in Bratislava: Ignacio (CZE) (Magnus (POL)) finished fifth in the Staroháj Criterion, a Listed flat race over 2 000 m and Tantor (POL) ran third in his debut in the KOFT Trophy, a flat race over 1 000 m. Shaman (CZE), another offspring of Magnus (POL), won the Grand June Trophy in Prague.

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).

11.7.2006 Racing day

Warm and sunny weather drew over three thousand spectators to the 15th racing day in Světlá Hora, where the programme featured 7 steeplechases, two pony races and the traditional parade of our most successful horses - Registana (GER), Masini (POL) and Kolorado (POL). The top event was the traditional Wrbna Racing Stables Trophy - a cross-country steeplechase over 4 600 m. The Karlovice horse Bargiel took the lead at the start but one kilometre before the finish line Wrbna’s Sun Set (POL) ridden by Jan Faltejsk went ahead. He quickly built a lead and held it till the end in front of a charging Tanečnice. Sixteen finished third in front of Bargiel. The second most important race of the afternoon – the Světlá Hora Trophy – a hurdle race over 3 400 m, was completely dominated by Polish stables, which were invited to our races for the first time and immediately arrived in large numbers. Juno Royal led by amateur Pavel Peprna beat Kalmar and Krogulec. The Polish representatives enjoyed their time here and promised to be back next year in even greater numbers. The first race on the programme – the Sven Car Trophy – was won easily by Lakreg with Bohuslav Mátl aboard; Jack de Traou Land and Joshua finished second and third, respectively. The traditional Alžběta Hradilová Trophy was dominated by Atura with Radek Havelka aboard; Lakosta and Sajmon finished second and third. The Živa Trophy was won by Dyktando with jockey Marek Stromský over Jacuzzi and Wrbna’s Theoden (POL). The EPI Trophy was won with conviction by Kathalpo with jockey Josef Bartoš over the ageless duo of Everton and Folklór. The final race, the Landbau Trophy, was marred by an unpleasant occurrence. The technical personnel began to prematurely remove the hurdle at the finish line; this hurdle is jumped twice during the course of the race. The workers noticed this mistake, but while being moved one part of the hurdle fell due to a construction error and the shortage of time did not permit the hurdle to be restored to its original condition. Because this narrowed hurdle did not fulfil the conditions of the race code (and two horses swerved and lost their riders) the racing commission annulled the race. One of the horses impacted by this error was our Kamienczyk (POL) with jockey Faltejsek. Immediately after the racing day we completely reconstructed our light wooden hurdles to avoid a similar situation in the future. Racehorse owners received their registration and starting fees back and our company compensated riders in a similar manner. The large field spread out during the course of the race and this mitigated problems. Nevertheless, not all of the horses demonstrated a sufficient level of jumping training and this, unfortunately, was the cause of a serious injury to one horse and three falls by riders. Fortunately, they avoided injury. Detailed race results
