 RACING THUNDER CZECHS IN FOR BIG RACE  
 Film star Sean Connery's horse Risk of 
 Thunder has arrived safely in the Czech
 Republic for Sunday's Velka Pardubicka.
                                        
 The Irish-trained nine-year-old will be
 ridden by Richard Dunwoody, 34, in the 
 gruelling four-mile, 2½-furlong cross  
 country event.                         
                                        
 "He is a brilliant jumper and should   
 give me a great ride," said the        
 Ulsterman, who finished third in 1996. 
                                        
 Risk of Thunder, trained by Enda       
 Bolger, is one of 26 horses declared   
 for the first prize of £25,000.
