The 3 year olds in Sweden are year by year a good indicator for the trotting breed
Year after year, the Swedish Travkriterium is a guide to the direction in which breeding is to take place. This inter alia. from
the fact that Sweden is the country with the most foalbirths after France
and the USA, and that in North America, thanks to Ready Cash and his son
Bold Eagle, there is now probably a real boom in French blood
circulation, France as a sort of trotterrace, the Trotteur Francais, which can never be so natural, since the
great successes in France's sport of racing always took place after the
opening of the stud book for American Standardbred blood.
In
Sweden, of course, therefore, concentrates since the seventies, but
since at least the eighties and nineties of the last century to a large
extent reasonable division between US and French blood, so as the big stake races as just the Travkriterium (3 years old) or Derby (4-year) for the colts and geldings over long distances as 2,640 meters (1.65 miles) to be run.
There are not less than 6 eliminations of the Travkriterium on sunday, September 17, in each one 12 horses, only the 2 first of the elims are heading to the final. The fillies also compete in 6 elims over the shorter distance of 2,140 meters (1.33 miles). So all in all we are talking about 144 horses…
We want to devide this article again in 2 parts. In the first we take a look at the stallions for the eliminations, the second will be about the finalists and their breeding patterns.

Comment from Sweden:
Conclusion:
3 patrilineages:
Viking Kronos
Pine Chip
Muscles Yankee
No big deal, ok, but why are many other sirelines absent/moderately represented in Sweden?
And, Maharajah, soon confirmed as sire of daughters par preference, meaning excellent damsire?
