2013 season comes to an end at Kolesa

Submitted by Robin on 10. November 2013 - 11:10

The final meeting of the 2013 racing season was held on the second Saturday in November, a mild autumn afternoon, in front of a good crowd at Kolesa, which is a village just north of the Kladruby stud. The main event - a Category III crosscountry race - was won by Nebrius, owned by Vasury Kolesa and trained by Pavlina Surova. The owner and trainer are our hosts at Kolesa, who have kept this small tidy course running for many years.

In spite of the Indian summer conditions in the Czech Republic, the coming weekend will mark more or less the end of our horseracing season, with only a single meeting to be run in November (at Kolesa, on Saturday November 9th).

The three meetings this weekend will be at Pardubice, on Saturday; at Prague Velka Chuchle, on Sunday, and at Slusovice on Monday, which is a state holiday. Please note that the first race at each of these meetings will be at midday.

Czech racing's big day on television goes quite well

Submitted by Robin on 19. October 2013 - 13:45

Czech Television’s coverage of Velka Pardubicka day began this year at 11.10 a.m., twenty minutes before the first race, and continued without commercials until 5.45 p.m. Without advertisements, and with very limited attention to the betting interest, we were treated to a good afternoon’s entertainment. Staying at home and watching the afternoon’s events on TV, rather than contending with the crowds at the racecourse, was certainly an attractive option.
