Breeders Crown finals set for Eskilstuna
by Thomas Hedlund
The final major stakes races of the season for Sweden’s 3- and 4-year-old trotters will be contested Saturday (Nov. 14) at Eskilstuna, where four $240,000 Breeders Crown finals are scheduled over 2,140 meters.
Swedish Trotting Derby winner Mellby Narrow failed to advance from his semifinal, but Swedish Trotting Kriterium winner Nanda Devi Cut (Maharajah), a year younger, made it through despite being defeated by Kodiak Zet (Father Patrick) in his elimination.
The likely favorites in the four divisions are Nanda Devi Cut in the 3-year-old colts and geldings, Zeebreeze in the 3-year-old fillies, Chamberi in the 4-year-old mares, and Zarex in the 4-year-old colts and geldings.
