Entries for the Wielka Partynicka and the Wielka Wroclawska close on July 3rd

Jumps racing at Partynice racecourse, in the southern suburbs of Wroclaw has taken off again in the last two years. Several Czech-based trainers, including Čestmir Olehla, Josef Váňa and Polish-born Greg Wroblewski, regularly send horses to run there.

The big event of the season there is the two-day meeting on September 6th and 7th. For the main races, the Wielka Partynicka, 4200 metres, hurdles, and the Wielka Wroclawska, 5000 metres, steeplechase, the closing date for entries is July 3rd.   

These are races with good prize money, by Central European standards, and they are likely to attract some good Czech-trained runners.
