Leon Kon wrote about Readgledt's performance (Readgleadt, Readglet, Redgleed) during the 1928 Olympic Games Amsterdam (the original language is retained in the text):

The following were registered and participated in the "Prix des Nation": 1) "Mylord", imported from Ireland. under Lieutenant Gzowski of the 15th Lancers Regiment. 2) “Ali” of national origin; purchased by the renovation committee, breeder unknown, under Lieutenant Szosladem of the 2nd Uhlan Regiment. 3) “Readglet”, imported from Ireland; under the captain Antoniewicz from the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.

O4's jump was a bit too weak, it seemed that he would knock down the first pole with his hindquarters without having time to pull it over. However, by turning his hind legs towards him, he avoided the danger. On the last obstacle, which not only was, but also looked relatively easiest. “Readglet”; as if disregarding her; most unexpectedly, it bounced about 3 meters too far. More than once, this horse was able to get out of such a situation, but the sight of a minor obstacle did not arouse in him the respect he deserved, and therefore did not give him the energy to move to the other side without making a mistake. Knocking down a pole with his front and falling into a ditch with his hindquarters resulted in 6 penalty points.

The classification by nationality has already been decided. Megafon announced: 4st Spain (8 penalty points). II Poland (10 penalty points), III Sweden (XNUMX penalty points). (…)”
