If it will be possible, the first raceday will take place on Sunday 25 April and the first show jumping races at the next weekend.

The Czech Jockey Club is examining the possibilities of starting this year's horse racing season with state administration bodies. It will financially support its introductory part, which will be reduced to the most important dates, ie. in Prague for classic races and their trials: 25 April, 16 May (Czech 2000 Guineas), 5 June, 27 June (Czech Derby).

The accompanying program of the originally planned raceday on 23 May (Lata Brandisova's Ladies Day) has been postponed to 2022.
