Velká Pardubická 2011
Sunday saw the 121st running of the biggest race of the year in the Czech republic (title link to race description at wiki cs). A cross country steeplechase over 4m 2.5f and 31 fences (including the formidable Taxis fence - the fourth fence jumped) with £150K+ of prize money up for grabs - it is the feature race of a cracking days racing at the track.

Thanks for the links.
That’s a pretty interesting race. They run on turf, dirt, over low fences, high fences and what appears to be a large mound. I’ve never seen anything like that.
