The Council of the Czech Jockey Club has announced that Ronino, Lingarry and Frasini have not yet qualified for the 2013 Velka Pardubicka.
A loose horse cut across these three backmarkers right in front of the sixth fence in the June qualification race. They only took the fence at the second attempt (which is against our rules), and then all three completed the course. However, they are now deemed to have ‘turned aside’ at the sixth fence, and not to have met the qualification requirements.
There are other opportunities for these horses to qualify – Ronino, in particular, owned by WRBNA Racing and trained by Cestmir Olehla, is a major contender for the Velka Pardubicka on October 13th.
