According to an interview by Petr Guth with Hana Kabelková, trainer of Trezor, the gelding has recovered well from his operation last autumn, after he suffered a leg injury in the Velka Pardubicka. He is about to go back into training. Although he has won all 4 VP qualification races that he has contested in the last two seasons, Trezor has disappointed in each of his three runs in the Velka Pardubicka itself.

January 2014 newsletter

Submitted by Robin on 2. January 2014 - 6:04

 When I started thinking about this final newsletter of 2013, I decided to avoid making a review of the past year and making predictions about the future. After all, there will be six newsletters in the five-month winter period between the end of the 2013 Czech horseracing season and the beginning of the 2014 season. During this period, there is generally not much happening. I need to be careful not to concentrate all the looking back into a single end-of-year newsletter.

Trezor is recovering well after an operation

Submitted by Robin on 7. December 2013 - 9:09

 

According to an article by Petr Malik on the Galopp Reporter web pages, Trezor seems to be recovering well after an operation. He suffered a broken bone in or around a hoof in the Velka Pardubicka. This happened either at Havel’s Fence, the fourth from home, which he hit hard, unseating his rider, or more likely when he put a foot into the Big Water Jump earlier in the race.
