Derby day is Sunday, June 22^nd. There are eight races on the card, first race at 2 pm. The Derby will be run at 5.30 pm (seventh race).

After a period of warm, dry weather, the course is being watered. No rain is forecast between now and Sunday, but racecourse manager Petr Drahoš expects to be able to provide good going (3.0 – 3.5).

The best way to get to and from the course is by suburban train to Velká Chuchle railway station. There are also several buses from Smichovské nadraží. On this busy race day, those arriving by road should anticipate delays and a full car park!
