June 2015 newsletter

I particularly want to finish the June newsletter on time, before the end of May, for two reasons. Firstly, the last two newsletters have been delayed, it is good to restore a bit of self-discipline. Secondly, the main trial for the Czech Derby will be run at Prague Velká Chuchle on May 31st, and I do not want to write about that race here.

Universe of Gracie wins the first VP qualification race

The first of the four qualification races for the 2015 Velka Pardubicka was run on good ground at Pardubice racecourse on May 23rd. There were 18 runners. Trezor, winner of 5 VP qualification races was unable to run, due to problems with shoeing him. There were 16 finishers, which all thus qualify for the VP, which will be run on Sunday, October 11th. Universe of Gracie, which finished 4th in last year’s VP, ridden by Jan Faltejsek, went to the front from the beginning of the race, and was only briefly headed on the last bend.
