Australia’s great European hope has finally shrugged off her visitor’s burden and pinged a ripping draw.
Maori Time will launch from gate two in her 1640m trot in race 10 at Bergsåker at 5.23am on Saturday morning AEST time.
Maori Time’s campaign has thus far been frustrated by the normally rock solid mare breaking gait, including during the Elitloppet, which has largely been attributed to adjusting to the different European carts.
Owner Fred Crews was optimistic about her chances in what he deemed a weaker class race than what she’d faced previously.
She continues to be trained by Stig H. Johnasson and will be steered by Erik Adielsson in the race, which is worth 100,000 SEK (about $AU15,000).
