Top Czech trainers challenge for the main races at Warsaw on September 7th and 8th

As expected, the leading Czech-based  trainers are sending good horses for the main races at Warsaw Partynice on September 7th and 8th. Cestmir Olehla has three entries in the two big races. In the Wielka Wroclawska, his Demon Magic, third in last year’s Gran Premio at Merano, will be well favoured. Ursan, trained by Stanislav Popelka, is well established among our leading chasers, and won the Nagroda Tiumena at Wroclaw Partynice on August 11th. Five of the declared runners are Czech-trained, and the other five are Polish-trained.

Racing returns to Prague Velka Chuchle on Sunday, September 1st

The last of the three races in the Josef Vana Cup steeplechase series is cancelled

Most racecourse and the Jockey Club of the Czech Republic have announced the cancellation of the final race in the Josef Vana Summer Cup series of classical steeplechases. The reason given is that the sponsors have failed to come up with the money.

As the three races in this series are the best-sponsored classical steeplechases of the Czech season, at CzK 1 million for each race, our trainers and riders will be sad to miss the opportunity to win a share of the prize money.   

Velka Chuchle: what is the state of the race track less than 3 weeks before racing is due to resume?

When the whole of Prague Velka Chuchle racecourse was under water at the beginning of June, the racecourse management set itself the task of being ready for racing on Czech St Leger day at the end of August.  Much hard work has gone into cleaning up. It was announced a few weeks ago that the St Leger meeting would be put back until Sunday, September 1st. The structures at the racecourse are OK, and the very warm recent weather will have dried them out well. The main concern now is with the turf on the racetrack.
