Team Hagoort/Bakker is ready for new adventures in Sweden.
On Wednesday, when V86® is split between Solvalla and Halmstad, they have two interesting starters.
"Mamma Mia Sisu is well prepared and should be considered a winning candidate," says trainer Paul Hagoort.
Over the last two years, he battled with the best of his crop in the United States and made over half a million dollars.
On Monday, he makes his first start in Sweden in the King's Trophy eliminations at Åby.
"He showed a lot of potential in the States, and it will be fun to start racing him here," says the trainer.
Elitloppet is the dream with Devilish Hill.
The American horse that was left in training with Geir Vegard Gundersen as a 3-year-old is Norway's most exciting trotter, who mowed his way through the Swedish 4-year-old stakes last year.
How will he do in his seasonal debut in the 5-year-old race Prins Carl Philips Jubileumslopp at Färjestad on Good Friday?
"He looks great, and we still have Elitloppet as our dream. Bang the table," says trainer Gundersen, as it is the Norwegian way of saying knock on wood.
