Josef Váňa senior expects to have 4 runners in the VP

Josef Váňa senior always has a number of well-fancied runners in the Velka Pardubicka. This year again he expects to have four good runners on October 13th. 

One of his five entries for the race, 2017 VP winner No Time To Lose, is a non-runner, as he has had a setback. Ange Guardian and Zarif were qualified for the big race before the September qualification race at Pardubice on September 7th. Theophilos and Mazhilis finished 2nd and 3rd in that race, and are now expected to run on October 13th. 

All four of Váňa's horses are capable of finishing at the front of the field. Ange Guardian has won four VP qualification races at Pardubice in the last two years. He will probably be the most-fancied of Váňa's entries.
