Swedish performer invited to $1,000,000 MGM Yonkers International Trot

With the $1,000,000 MGM Yonkers International Trot fast approaching, a flurry of invitations have been extended and many new faces will be joining the harness racing lineup this week. Leading off the parade of new players is top Swedish performer Double Deceiver (Cantab Hall).

A son of Cantab Hall out of the Donato Hanover mare Sarcy, Double Deceiver was born and raised in the United States where he raced the first two years of his career. The now 6-year-old made over $770K during those years while winning the Kentucky Sire Stakes Championship as a 2-year-old and netting a Matron win plus a second in the MGM Yonkers Trot at age 3.

Double Deceiver was purchased for $500,000 at the Standardbred Horse Sale in Harrisburg on November 11, 2022 and now races under the banner of Daniel Reden’s Stall Zet. He’s increased the horse’s career record from 11 wins in 25 starts to 22 victories in 42 trips behind the gate.

Most recently in 2025, Double Deceiver has been collecting stakes victories overseas, picking up major wins in the Sweden Cup at Solvalla in May, St Michaels Race in Finland (July), and the Jämtland Grand Prix.

Double Deceiver joins the previously announced Hohneck and Gio Cash as starters in the September 13 MGM Yonkers International Trot. The special afternoon card will also feature a pair of $200,000 Invitationals for older trotters and pacers.

MGM Yonkers Raceway is currently operating on a Monday-Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday live racing schedule with post time each night at 6:45 p.m. (EDT).
