Submitted by Robin on 11. June 2015 - 17:24Strömsholm in Sweden is the most northerly destination that horses from the Czech Republic have set out for in recent years. The home of the Swedish Grand National is again this year the target for an expedition from the Czech Republic. Trainer Stanislav Popelka has this year sent out the biggest Czech expedition ever to have headed north. Last Sunday, four horses set off on an almost two-day journey.
Aldar wins the Bratislava Derby trial easily
Submitted by Robin on 8. June 2015 - 16:56Most of the runners in the Czech Derby will have had their final preparatory race either at Prague Velka Chuchle on May 31st or at Bratislava on June 7th. Half a dozen horses ran well enough at Velka Chuchle to suggest they have a real chance in the 95th running of the Mercedes Benz Derby at Velka Chuchle on Sunday June 21st. At Bratislava, there was a 10-horse field, and seven of them were entered for the Czech Dery.

June 2015 newsletter
Submitted by Robin on 29. May 2015 - 17:47I particularly want to finish the June newsletter on time, before the end of May, for two reasons. Firstly, the last two newsletters have been delayed, it is good to restore a bit of self-discipline. Secondly, the main trial for the Czech Derby will be run at Prague Velká Chuchle on May 31st, and I do not want to write about that race here.
