Chelmsford wins the August 2024 qualification race very impressively, but finishes lame

The  third of the four qualification races for the 134th running of the Velka Pardubicka for 2024 was run on August 3rd. As in the the case of the May and June qualification races, the course was in good condition, thanks to the good efforts of the ground staff. Some considerable rainfall in the days before each of the races and cool weather on the  days of the races also helped considerably.

 

2nd VP qualification race day is a triumph for Faltejsek. He rides five winners, including the qualification race.

There were 9 races on the card for the June meeting at Pardubice, and five of them were won by jockey Jan Faltejsek, on Roscoff, on Sardinie, on unbeaten New Friend, and then in the qualification race on Korfu, trained by his wife, Alžběta. He rounded off his five-timer on George of Beaumont, which was never headed in his race.

Fault-free 1st VP qualification race qualifies all runners for the Velka Pardubicka

The Town of Pardubice Stakes, which was run as the first qualification race for the 134th Velka Pardubicka with Slavia Pojišťovna, was won by 8-y-o gelding Godfrey, which beat 8-y-o Chelmsford in a tight finish. Daniel Vyhnálek rode the winner, and Jan Kratochvíl was on the runner-up. In the first of this year’s four qualification races at Pardubice racecourse, all 15 runners secured qualification for this year’s VP. They join last year’s VP winner Sacamiro, which is automatically entitled to defend his title.
