At the weekend, Meran becomes an equestrian sports mecca

There are no fewer than 5 group races on the program on the two turf days. Among those taking part are the English top jockey James Reveley, two-time winner of the Grand Prix of Merano, the Italian top jockey Raffaele Romano and the Englishman Francis Tett, the Frenchman Antoine Renard and the Czechs Jan Faltejsek and Josef Bartos. Saturday's main race The main race on Saturday has a top-class line-up. 9 horses from the Czech Republic, Switzerland and Italy compete in the Great Hurdle Race of Italy. The field is led by last year's runner-up Piton des Neiges from the Aichner family racing team. The gelding ridden by Josef Bartos will be accompanied by Grand Sud (G. Agus) in his title defense. On the other hand, his compatriot Dominique (J. Faltejsek) was very successful, winning the big hurdle tests in Pisa and Milan this year. On the other hand, one of the contenders for victory is Candalex (F. Tett. The gelding trained by Jürg Langmeier in Switzerland made a good impression with his 2nd place in a preparation race. This was won by Live Your Life. The gelding trained and ridden by Raffaele Romano carries the hopes for a home win for Christian Troger's racing team. The main race on Sunday The best that Central European obstacle sport can currently offer will be at the start on Sunday in the Great Hunting Race of Europe. The field is led by the two-time Meran Grand Prix winner L'Estran. The gelding from the Aichner racing stable is ridden by Josef Bartos and accompanied by his stablemate Notti Magiche (O. Velek). Lodgian Whistle (A. Pollioni) from the Vana family's training will also be at the start. Another 4 horses are traveling from the Czech Republic. For Jiri Charvat's successful racing team, last year's runner-up in the Grand Prix Northerly Wind, Jan Faltejsek, is in the race. Al Bustan (J. Kratochvil), who was eliminated in the preparation race due to a fall, has already won the Grand Prix. Bugsy Malone (L. Matusky), however, took second place in this test. The Czech squad is completed by the outsider Reki (P. Slozil Jr.). The mare Minella For Me (A. Renard) is traveling from France, a horse that should have good chances despite its track debut.
