Current Official Handicap Ratings of horses entered for the 2018 Velka Pardubicka

Twenty-eight horses are currently entered and qualified for the Velka Pardubicka, to be run at Pardubice on Sunday, October 14th. Two other Czech-trained horses, Hegnus and Eldorado, have qualified by finishing at least one of the four qualification races run at Pardubice in May, June, August and September, but have not yet been entered for the big race.

 

Urgent de Gregaine finished 2nd in VP 2017. He is qualified, but does not have a Czech handicap rating, as that has been his only race in the Czech Republic. Other horses that have qualified through races run outside the Czech Republic may be supplemented for the race.

 

The maximum number of runners in the race is set at 25. In the unlikely event that there are more than 25 declared runners, those with the lowest ratings will be eliminated.
