Christoffer Eriksson was the pilot as Sylvester recorded career win seven in 17 starts. He’s undefeated in two 2015 starts. The winner is from an excellent family that includes $100,000 plus winners Laurel America, Red Rose America and Michael America.

In the card’s finale Radysin America (5f Donato Hanover – Zagabria Dei – Victory Dream) scored in a sharp 1.11.6kr over 1640 meters to earn 60,000SEK first prize.

The event for mares saw the Peter Ingves teamed winner defeat Alchemilla Rich with Johnny Takter aboard. The winning mare, trained by Riordan, secured her 10^th career win in 28 starts and first in the current year. She’s a half-sister to top international performer Lisa America.
