Czech Amazon Musialova triumphs at Düsseldorf pearl chain!

A remarkable victory was celebrated in Düsseldorf on October 3, 2025! The 29-year-old Michaela Musialova from the Czech Republic triumphed at the prestigious price of the pearl chain. This was the second time that the competition was held on the gallop racecourse in Düsseldorf. Musialova secured the overall victory after she performed excellently in the final on August 3 with the outsider Night Glory, trained by Frank Fuhrmann from Magdeburg. Although she only achieved second place in the final run, the points were enough to celebrate the overall victory.

Last year's winner, Nina Baltromei, was unable to defend her title this year. She won the last run with her horse All My Loving, but the points of Musialova were crucial. Musialova collected a total of 16 points - seven more than Baltromei with 13 points. The third place, Lilli-Marie Engels, was in Hanover and came to ten points. Musialova herself proved to be a surprising winner because she had previously only completed eight rides this year, from which she could only win once. Her modesty came through when she said after the victory that she had no longer expected the profit.

The tradition of the pearl chain

The competition for the pearl chain has a long tradition that started in Neuss in 1961 and was most recently in 2019. Harald von Gustedt, the then managing director of the Neuss racing club, was the initiator of this popular event. This year the event was enthusiastically adopted by the racing club Düsseldorf, which continues the tradition.

Two exciting races in equalization IV and II also took place on the race day. In the "Prize of the German Opera on the Rhine", which went over 1400 meters, the favorite Repute, a seven-year-old acclamation son, prevailed under the Jockey Vladimir Panov. Trained by Frank Fuhrmann, who was pleased to say after the race: "He was really due". Repute showed a very convincing performance and added another victory to his three placements so far.
