DS MAENTIVA’S New Reinforcement: 3YO Laran (IRE), GH 2010 – 84 kg
/ 11.1.2011 / The Racing Stables MAENTIVA marked the beginning of year 2011 with a very interesting purchase. The DS MAENTIVA bought a promising stallion, Laran (IRE). Laran’s father is Black Sam Bellamy (IRE) and his mother is Larana (GER). However, Laran will not represent his previous stables, Agrolipt ČR, any more. As a three-year old, he will supplement classic hope of the DS MAENTIVA and it is very ambitious. Laran is a full brother of Linda (GER), who is the winner of the race “Zimní královna 2009“(Winter Queen of 2009) and of the race “Cena Pat¨s Music“(Pat’s Music Prize); in the race “Jarní cena klisen” (Mares’s Spring Prize) she finished in second place.
As a racing horse Laran debuted in Karlovy Vary and there he finished in third place in the first race of his career (it was the 1,200 meters third category race). Laran prefers fast pace races and when a race is slow, then, just as his sister Linda does, he takes on the role of a pacemaker. He demonstrated his potential very early – in his second race. He won that race very easily (it was the 1,600 meters third category race). His last race in the racing season of 2010 was the race “Cena zimního favorita“ (Winter Favourite’s Prize). It was the1,600 meters Listed Category race and he finished in fourth place. Talking about his racing season of 2011, Laran is already subscribed to two races: “Velká jarní cena” (Spring Grand Prix) and “České derby” (Bohemian Derby). However, the course of Laran’s future career is not determined definitely, yet. He should give more clues in spring about the distance which will fit him and if he proves some endurance capacity, his target will be the very “České derby” (Bohemian Derby). Nevertheless, it is more probable that he will race in distances from 1,600 meters to 2,000 meters. His abroad starts are also highly probable. What is more, Laran’s current handicap is 84 kg and it ranks him as a great hope of the category of three-year-olds.
