(Note that there is also a race day on Saturday October 8^th at Pardubice racecourse. Runners and riders, and also the time of the first race, will be announced on Tuesday, October 4^th. The first race is likely to be at 12 midday. There are three more or less major races over hurdles (our championship races for 3-y-os, 4-y-os and 5-y-os+) and a major oval track steeplechase over the grass track. In addition, there are couple of Fegentri races for amateur riders and one race for claiming riders. If security allows, it may be possible to walk the course after the last race on the Saturday. After the Velka Pardubicka, on the Sunday, there is normally no difficulty about walking the course.)
