Florestano and Imbir have been declared to run in the Meran Gran Premio.

Following declaration on September 23rd, a total of 14 horses will run on Sunday and three of them are in Czech colours.

Florestano will have Josef Vana Jr. in the saddle, while Imbir will be ridden by jockey J. Korpas and Nikodem by J. Myska.

SHARSTAR                   69      R. Romano

ST PETERSBOURG         67      D. Columbu

 

 

Contrary to what I absentmindedly wrote yesterday, St Petersbourg runs in Italian not French colours. And the owner, Mrs. Francesca Montanari, also owns Fils A Papa.

Sharstar, this year's favourite, won the race in 2008, when he was 4-y.o. However, no 4-y.o. runs this year and the age of the contestants range from 5 (four horses) to 10 (one).

All the runners are geldings - no stallions or mares this year.
