He was the winner of Sweden’s Olympic Trot in late April and the fifth-place finisher in the Elitlopp final. He is known for his tremendous gate speed and will be expected to be a strong starter from post 4. Mosaique Face, the runner-up to winner Magic Tonight in the Elitlopp, will start in the second tier in post 10. He will be driven by Adrian Kolgjini, the son of trainer Lufti Kolgjini, because the elder Kolgjini received a fine and suspension for inappropriate use of the whip in the Elitlopp. One new name to the Scandinavian classics is Trebol, who has been racing in France. He was born on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Meanwhile, Elitlopp champion Magic Tonight arrived in the U.S. on Wednesday, accompanied by the 5-year-old mare D’One (Donato Hanover-Giant Diablo). Both are trained by Roger Walmann and slated to compete in the John Cash- man Memorial Trot at the Meadowlands. In other racing news from Scandinavia, at the Boden track in Sweden on Saturday, 2013 Kentucky Futurity champion and 2014 Allerage winner Creatine has a tough assignment from post 8 in a field of veterans. Creatine finished third in the Jämtlands Stora Pris on June 6, behind Chelsea Boko and El Mago Pellini, both of which he will face again on Saturday, with Chelsea Boko drawing post 2. Also in the field is 2013 Elitlopp champion Nahar, now 10 years old, and the respected Panne de Moteur (Credit Win- ner-Jalopy), who is making just his second start since he suf- fered an injury after finishing second in last year’s Elitlopp. HarnessRacing Weekend Preview, 10 of 14 June 12, 2015 www.harnessracing.com Nichol Experiences Belmont “At least you got to race against the top horse and it was a Up Close With Madefromlucky great experience,” said Nichol. “It’s unfortunate (the sickness) but it was very exciting and there were a lot of people Madefromlucky may have finished sixth in the recent Bel- there.
