Don Fanucci Zet wins Prix Readly Express

Don Fanucci Zet (4m Hard Livin-Kissed By The West-Western Terror) was an impressive wire to wire harness racing winner of today’s Prix Readly Express (purse to winner 400,000SEK, 2140 meters autostart, 10 starters all Sweden bred) at Solvalla.

Superbly reined by Orjan Kihlstrom for trainer Daniel Reden and Stall Zet, the winner was clocked in 1.11.8kr (mile rate 1:55.52) in a well rated journey. Fractions were 1.12.6kr at the first 500 meters, 1.14.3kr at the 1000; 1.13.3kr at 1500-meter mark. Kihlstrom’s rating left Aetos Kronos (4m Bold Eagle-Will Of A Woman-Muscles Yankee) parked in the death seat throughout with Green Manalishi (4m Muscle Hill-Naga Morich-Enjoy Lavec) behind him.

That is how they finished. Don Fanucci Zet was off as the 1.78/1 odds favorite and now has eight career wins in 12 starts for 1,463,000SEK in life earnings.
