Goscater, comfortable winner of the September qualification race for the Velka Pardubicka, has had a setback and will not be supplemented for the big race on October 9^th. Trainer Štěpánka Myšková will have no runner in the race, as Lorain, placed 7th in the 2015 Velka, is also already on the injured list.

Her husband, Jaroslav Myška, is now without a ride in the Velka. However, this multiple champion Czech steeplechase jockey will surely receive several offers of rides on horses with a good chance of winning the race.
