The first of the four qualification races at Pardubice racecourse for the 124th running of the Velka Pardubicka will be run on Saturday, May 24th. The 16 declared runners include three of the six finishers in the 2013 Velka: Nikas (2nd), Klaus (3rd ) and Peintre Abstrait (5th).
Polish-born trainer Grzegorz Witold Wroblewski’s diary contains the name of a single horse in the list of 61 entries for the Velka Pardubicka with Česká Pojišťovna. Nevertheless, Greg’s is perhaps the most interesting name for this year’s 124th running of the race. The reason is simple – in his yard at Zhoř u Jihlavy, Wroblewski trains Orphée des Blins, the outstanding winner of the last two runnings of the Velka.
Problem horse Rabbit Well won the First of May Steeplechase at Lysa-nad-Labem very easily, with a display of the great ability that we know he has, and none of the obstinacy that has hung over him for years. He moved a year ago to Josef Vana's yard, and still only sometimes agrees to compete in his races. On May 1st, he was for the second time ridden by Jan Kratochvil - and on each of these two occasions he has been totally calm and cooperative, and has won easily. This was Jan's third winning ride already this year, and his first ever win in a Category I race.
The sad truth is that I have not given a lot of attention to Czech racing in April 2014. I got down to Velka Chuchle, my local racecourse, just a couple of times, and did not stay for the whole afternoon. Instead, I went to a sports bar and watched the Arsenal’s attempts to “win 4th place” in the Premiership.
The most recent press release from Pardubice racecourse announces that the decision to hold the two-day meeting in October on the Friday and Sunday has been changed. The flat race meeting will be held on the Saturday (October 11th). The124th running of the Česká pojišt'ovna Velka Pardubicka will, of course, be held on its traditional date, the second Sunday in October, i.e. October 12th.
