Just thought I'd share the wonderful Va Bank who is now 12/12 after winning a Grade 3 at Baden Baden today (the biggest victory for a Polish trained horse!). He won the Triple Crown last year and his next start will be the prestigious Warsaw prize which he won last year as well! Here's hoping they continue to try him out beyond Poland, I really wish some Thoroughbreds from my native country would live up to the Arabians
His win at Baden Baden today, he's the #4 horse.

Re: Va Bank-Polish Triple Crown Winner
Great race, and as a Polish-bred myself (though a few generations removed from the old country!) how did I not know this was a thing?

Re: Va Bank-Polish Triple Crown Winner
It says in the description of the race that it stretches over 2000m which would be closer to 9 furlongs.Charles Bunbury wrote:10 furlongsCarole Hanson wrote:I'm fairly sure it was 1 1/2 milesLori Hamill wrote:Nice! What distance is this race, Carole? Very nice turf course there.
