     The history of the principal Czech horse race court Velká Chuchle started nearly one hundred years ago. The court was inaugurated on September 28th, 1906. Its opening became an important event in the life of Prague during that time. The first racer ever to win at the Chuchle race court was a mare named Vision with her owner František Bartosch, a veterinary surgeon, in the saddle. May 22nd 1921 became and important date in the Czechoslovak turf. On that day the first Czechoslovak derby was started. At the race court in Velká Chuchle the races have been organized practically without interruption, even during the war. Despite many problems this tradition continued after 1989 as well.
