The Czech horseracing season begins on Sunday, April 6th, first race at 2 p.m. There will be eight flat races on the card, and the main race of the day is the Category I Gomba Handicap, over 1200 metres. There are seven runners in the Gomba - a six-furlong handicap with a full curve on the opening day of the season is always a lottery.

Please note that there is one-way traffic until May 7th in Radotinska Street, which runs between the railway line and the racecourse. The one-way traffic is in the direction from the Velka Chuchle level crossing to Radotin (It will affect drivers from the city centre only on their way home). The only suitable place to park a car on racedays is in the official car park, opposite the railway station on Radotinska Street.
