On Sunday, starting at 2 pm, the sixth racing day will be held at the Belgrade Hippodrome, and six gallop races are on the program. The main races on the difficult sandy track are for the cup of JP Hippodrome Belgrade and the traditional two-year-old “Kostolac”, and the program also includes the “Memorial of Vlado Bjelogrlić” at 1100 meters, in honor of the famous driver, coach and owner of trotters and gallopers who passed away last year. coronavirus. By the way, Vlada Bjelogrlić was one of the best friends from the childhood of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić. In the race for the cup of JP Hippodrome Belgrade for triplets and older gallopers at 1800 meters, six heads were entered, including the last winner of the “triple crown” in Serbia, Frst Tot, who will be ridden by an experienced jockey from Sabac, Aleksandar Sasic. training. Seven two-year-olds are enrolled in the “Kostolac” race (1350 meters), and castrates do not have the right to perform, to which the handicapper Milana Dudić warned the office of the Serbian Gallop Federation (SGS) in time.

An exciting and uncertain sprint race is expected in the “Vlado Bjelogrlić Memorial”, in which last year’s most expensive horse imported from England, Never in Red, owned by KK “Perjanik”, whose first man is the president of SGS Andrija Jovićević, will be in the starting machine. Of course, a lot of gallopers are expected this time as well, who are currently training with our best coach Bojan Šendeković from Šabac. – In addition to gallop races, on Saturday and Sunday, the Belgrade Hippodrome will also host the open individual and team championship of Serbia in dressage riding. After the successful organization of the Belgrade Championship in this Olympic discipline, I believe that everything will go well for the weekend. I am proud that we are organizing the sixth racing day in Belgrade with the great help of the state, and all the prizes have already been paid. Cooperation with the Serbian Gallop Federation is great. We have successfully organized a hurdles jumping tournament, and I am convinced that next year will be much better, with many more competitions at the oldest sports facility in Belgrade – said for Kurir the director of the Belgrade Hippodrome Veljko Rosic.

Nina Šobota, as a big fan of sport horses, has been playing a big role at the Belgrade Hippodrome lately, primarily in the organizational part. She also insists on the introduction of order in equestrian sports, but also on settling the situation in the stable circle of the Belgrade Hippodrome, where real mischief and unregulated relations have reigned for a long time, to which the previous management of the Belgrade Hippodrome contributed the most. Like Veljko Rosić, Nino Šobota expects a nice weekend for all equestrian fans at the Belgrade Hippodrome. Kurir sport / Lazar Delic
