There is no shortage of stars lining up for Saturday’s International Trot at Yonkers Raceway. Mellby Jinx arrives at Yonkers with a very serious chance of becoming Sweden’s next International Trot winner. The eight-year-old has already proven that he can compete at the highest European level, and his recent performances suggest that he is coming into Saturday’s $1 million race in great shape but also class, toughness and exceptional gate speed.
Mellby Jinx has spent his career racing at the highest level and his third place in this summer’s Hugo Åbergs Memorial was a reminder of just how much horse he is. Forced to race first over for the entire journey, he still battled all the way to the finish behind Allegiant and Daim Brodda.
That kind of performance is particularly relevant heading into the International Trot. Mellby Jinx has shown that he can do the hard work himself. And most importantly he has unique gate speed !
After crossing the Atlantic, he has settled in very well at Åke Svanstedt’s farm in New Jersey, where he has been given time to recover from the journey and prepare for his biggest assignment of the year.
And judging by the reports from his team, he is enjoying every minute of it.
He has trained well, taken to the warm weather and, perhaps most importantly, appears genuinely happy in his new surroundings. He’s “fired up and ready to go” says his caretaker Ida Edin.
That enthusiasm could be worth plenty on Saturday.
Mellby Jinx will have to overcome a field packed with international champions, but he does not arrive at Yonkers simply to make up the numbers. Mellby Jinx could be exactly the type of horse you need to win the International Trot.
