Agadir Gold heads to the Czech Derby

Trainer Radek Holčák and owners, Mr. and Mrs. Topič, won this race for the first time, jockey Jan Verner won for the second time (the champion of the season 2020 won another race of the day and reached the 46th lifetime double). 

The undefeated Classa was the top-favorite of the 18th Nora Jeane Stakes (Class A, 1m, 3yo+ f+m, 150 ths. CZK) but finished unplaced.
