Czechowicz and CSG Magnifique Gun clinch the first IRHA Open Derby Championship for Poland!

 

Cremona, May 26 — Provided by Simona Diale, International Horse Press —The 67.000-added euro IRHA/NRHA Open Derby finals wrapped up the 2019 edition the show open 4, 5, 6, and 7-year old horses. Once the last horse-rider combination left the show arena, three of the four Open Championships were conquered by two European professionals in their early 20s: Lucasz Czechowicz of Poland and Nico Sicuro of Italy.

Czechowicz and Katarzyna Roleska’s CSG Magnifique Gun (Colonels Shining Gun x Im Magnifique) had already proven their worth in the Open qualifier by posting a 221.5 for the lead along with multiple NRHA Open World Champion Ann Fonck riding Gunners Specialolena (NRHA Two Million Dollar Sire Gunners Special Nite x Dolly Jac Olena) for owner Diego Dalla Gassa. When the 23-year-old and his mount entered the arena on Saturday night, the score to beat was the 223.5 scored by Gennaro Lendi and Anna Parodi’s Arc A Step Above (NRHA Two Million Dollar Sire Walla Walla Whiz x Wimpys Little Chic). Determined to show off the 6-year-old gelding’s talent, Czechowicz lay down a run that kept the public in the stands glued to their seats: his impeccable run and amazingly fast, correct and powerful spins resulted in a 225 score along with the coveted L4 Open Derby Championship.

 

“This is a dream come true and I cannot wait to see our run!” said Czechowicz. “I am fortunate to be able to show such great horses for Kate [Katarzyna Roleska) and this is certainly one of the best.” Broke and first trained by Cira Baeck, the reins were handed over to NRHA Two Million Dollar Rider Bernard Fonck and his wife Ann. “Both Baeck and the Foncks’s did an amazing job with him and I have now been riding him for two years,” added the Polish professional. “We clicked from day one and he always tries as hard as he can for me. Tonight he was amazing and never would I have imagined that we could actually make it to the winner’s circle.” - NRHA

IRHA/NRHA 4-year-old Open: The Finals

The IRHA-NRHA 4-year-old Open Final closed the night with an almost predicted success: on the podium were two riders that were both in the lead in the qualifier with a change of horse for the Reserve Championship where Gennaro Lendi conquered second place honors with Frozen N Rooster and not with Maytheforcebewhizyou. In the lead in a field of 11 finalists in the Level (L)4 and of 17 in L3, was a very thrilled and touched Mirko Midili riding Angelina Shining Gun (Colonels Shining Gun x Miss Alex Cody), owned by Asia Vimercati. “This is one of the best mares that I have ever ridden… not only because of how she works, but also because of her attitude in the barn. I wasn’t able to show her in the 3-year-old Futurity because she arrived at Luga Quarter Horses only two months before the show and was too green. Also, she wasn’t an exceptional spinner, so I decided not to push her too hard and to bring her to the Futurity the following year. I felt that it was better to do things nice and slow and evidently it turned out to be the right choice. She always progressed, starting from the NRHA European Futurity Open L3 Reserve Championship with a score of 220.5. We then came directly here and we went up to a 223 in the L3 and L4 and I believe that there is even more room for improvement. I’m sure next year she will reach even higher scores,” explains Midili. “I also would like to underline that I particularly love Colonels Shining Gun’s offsprings, which are remarkably coming out,” adds Midili who has had a 2018 full of events: the return as head trainer at Luga Quarter Horses, which he had to leave some years ago due to a bad accident which was not of easy recovery; his first time taking part in Team Italy for the FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon and, most importantly, the birth of his daughter Beatrice. “Beatrice has brought me a lot of serenity. She gave a meaning to my life and everything today seems more ‘light and simple,’ I face everything with less stress. Previously I put too much weight on work and, as we say ‘he who wants it all may loose it all.’ Paradoxically everything also works out better in the arena since I’ve sorted out my priorities.” - NRHA

IRHA/NRHA L4: The Finals

Co-reserve L4 honors with a 226 score went to Cira Baeck and NF Shining Whiz (Colonels Shining Gun x Whowhizthispeppychic), a mare owned by David Perneel/Kim Windyand bred by David Pernee

 

It took a 224 and a team all about Poland to win the Euro75.000 - added L3 Open Championship: Lukas Czechowicz — head trainer for Roleski Ranch, and his mount CSG Copshot (Colonels Shining Gun x Finest Copyshot), owned and bred by Katarzyna Roleska, gave it all they had laying down an amazing and powerful run. “I truly gave it all I had and risked it all tonight!” said Czechowicz. “Winning with a horse that is by a Roleski owned stallion, the great ‘Jo Jo,’ who was born at Roleski Ranch and who I broke and trained is the best thing that could ever happen. This horse is an amazing athlete with a great mind but if I had to define his best quality, it’s his heart!” Roleska also took home the IRHBA incentive program Best Breeders Award trophy.

CONGRATULATIONS 

2018 European Futurity Champions and Finalists

With two horses qualified for the finals, NRHA Professional Lukas Czechowicz of Poland clinched the L3 Open Futurity Championship with a 221 riding CGS Piggiemove, a stallion by Colonels Shining Gun out of Roosters Hot Piq, owned, bred and nominated by Katarzyna Roleska. A half-point behind, Czechowicz also took co-reserve honors riding Winchesteratomic (Colonels Shining Gun x BRS Freckles Payday), a stallion also owned, bred and nominated by Katarzyna Roleska. “These are my first European Futurity titles, and I could not be any happier,” said the young Polish professional who works out of Roleski Ranch. “I started working for Roleski four years ago and this was the first foal crop I broke and trained. It’s all very special, and I would like to thank Kate and all the Roleski team for supporting and trusting me with these super horses.”

Katarzyna Roleska’s breeding program proved its worth in Cremona. The Polish reining enthusiast, host of the past NRHA European Affiliate Championships, owned, bred and nominated five horses that made the Open finals.

Tying for reserve honors in the L3 division was NRHA Professional Mirko Midili of Italy with Angelina Shining Gun (Colonels Shining Gun x Miss Alex Cody) for owner Asia Vimercati. The mare was bred by Tamara Pavlovic and nominated by Fabio Polesel. – NRHA

2014 NRHA DERBY

LEVEL 4 OPEN CHAMPION

The fact that NRHA Professional Cira Baeck riding Katarzyna Roleska’s Colonels Shining Gun were on the Silver Medal winning Team Belgium in the 2014 edition of the World Equestrian

Games (WEG) did not stop them from travelling to Italy, nor did it stop them in conquering the KL Performance Horses European Derby L4 Open championship!


They earned a spot in the finals after posting a 218.5 in the go-round and once Saturday night came around, Baeck was set on showing off the talent and the athletic ability of the 2007 stallion by Gunner and out of Shining Little Peach (by Shining Spark), bred by KC Performance Horses, LLC. With many a prestigious title to his name, the stallion a.k.a. ‘Jojo’ boasts $80,270 NRHA Lifetime Earnings.

When he entered the show pen, the score to beat was a 219.5: Baeck guided him through her trademark circles, his stops were right on and his spins set the house on fire. They closed their run with a 221 and conquered the Derby L4 Open division championship.
