He won seven races last year, finished second in the E3 final, third in the Swedish Trotting Criterium, and earned just over three million SEK.
Phantom Express is now back after a planned training period, with his aim set on the Swedish Trotting Derby this fall.
"I'm happy with the preparations, and it will be fun to get him going again. He's developed a lot compared to last year and feels like a new horse," says trainer Joakim Elfving, going into Wednesday’s start in the Four-year-old test in Eskilstuna.
The summer classic, Årjängs Stora Sprinterlopp, is just around the corner. The weather and the classy field suggest that Nadal Broline’s track record could fall this weekend.
"What a fantastic race we’ve lined up – and this week, the high pressure and warm weather we’ve been waiting for will arrive. Now we’re going to beat 1:09!" says Even Elvenes, who has been working on attracting top horses to Saturday’s race.
