The focus of the program on April 28th is the hurdle race for the debutants' prize (for four-year-old and older horses, 3.300 meters, 26.000 euros). The starting field includes ten horses.

Trainer Raffaele Romano saddles three of them. Among them, Cirano with Gabriele Agus in the saddle and Modigliana with Ondreij Velek are likely to have the best chances, but Superius with Jaroslav Myska is also given a chance. Former champion trainer Paolo Favero saddles Yeeeaah, owned by the Ambruschitz family, with Jan Faltejsek climbing into his saddle.
