Allegiant shocked the entire harness racing world with her crushing victory in the Elitloppet, setting the incredible world record of 1:07.1.
Now the world's fastest trotter is back on the track, and Daniel Redén's mare headlines Wednesday's V86® at Eskilstuna.
"She has taken harness racing to a whole new level. The truth is, she feels even sharper after the Elitloppet," says Daniel Redén, who also sends out Derby favorite Perfect Chest in the prestigious Four-Year-Old Test.
Last year he won the Årjängs Stora Sprinterlopp in a new track record time of 1:08.5/1640a.
Defending champion Gio Cash has the opportunity to repeat that performance and once again take home the SEK 500,000 first prize on Saturday.
"He will deliver a top performance, and from a good post it's just to hit the gas pedal. The horse feels terrific and I hope he leads all the way," says Oskar Florhed, assistant trainer for Daniel Wäjersten.
