Two horses trained by Pavel Tůma are to run in the main hurdles race on the frozen lake at Sankt Moritz this weekend. The original plan was to take 5-y-o Cruel Mole Joe, whose best performance so far is a win in a small race over hurdles at Lysá nad Labem. He will be ridden by Josef Borč. However, Jockey Club president Jiří Charvát later persuaded his wife to run Khalshani, also trained by Tůma. Khalshani has won several top races over fences here, including the Pardubice Gold Cup and the Josef Váňa Prize race at Karlovy Vary in 2013, and three good hurdles races in Italy, including a good win at Grossetoa in December 2014. He will be ridden by Dušan Andrés. If Khalshani takes to the 'white turf', and if it is his day, he can be a contender.
