Last Saturday’s meeting at Pardubice attracted a small crowd on a very hot afternoon. The thunderstorms that were forecast held off until after the fifth race.

Runners and riders for the 95. Mercedes-Benz Czech Derby will be declared by 11.00 on Monday June 15th. For those of you who cannot wait until then, it is thought that British jockey Steve Drowne will ride Aldzarb, and French champion jockey Ioritz Mendizabal will ride Dumnonia.
Strömsholm in Sweden is the most northerly destination that horses from the Czech Republic have set out for in recent years. The home of the Swedish Grand National is again this year the target for an expedition from the Czech Republic. Trainer Stanislav Popelka has this year sent out the biggest Czech expedition ever to have headed north. Last Sunday, four horses set off on an almost two-day journey.
Most of the runners in the Czech Derby will have had their final preparatory race either at Prague Velka Chuchle on May 31st or at Bratislava on June 7th. Half a dozen horses ran well enough at Velka Chuchle to suggest they have a real chance in the 95th running of the Mercedes Benz Derby at Velka Chuchle on Sunday June 21st. At Bratislava, there was a 10-horse field, and seven of them were entered for the Czech Dery.
It’s going to be a closely fought Derby. The final trial raises expectations
