Sunday afternoon 3-year-old NAKISKA (SE) (Former: Amber Wynn) (filly by Calgary Games – U Take The Cake) was in a qualifier at Rättvik with her trainer, Fredrik Wallin in the bike.
Nakiska took the lead into the last turn – after a tough race as first on the outside most of the journey – and “won” the qualifier in 1.18.1/2140 meters ahead of the Walner son Fenway Park with Daniel Redén in the same time.

Last night CASUAL RAIN gave birth to a beautiful colt by Readly Express, who has been named PRESTON WYNN (DK) and will be registered in Denmark.
Preston Wynn is a younger brother to 3-year-old Montana Wynn (DK) (colt by Face Time Bourbon), who is in training with Jeppe Juel and will soon be ready for qualifier.

Casual Rain – a sister to top horses such as Derby winner Tumble Dust (1,10.5a-3,644,000 kr) and Hard Livin (SE) (1,10.0a-5,468,000 SEK) – is also the dam of 4-year-old Lilly Wynn (DK) (1,16.5a-13,000 SEK), who is in training with Celine Samuelsson at Solvalla.
Casual Rain goes to Readly Express again.
LEO WYNN (DK) (archive photo) and LEVI WYNN (SE) competed on Sunday afternoon at Lunden, and as in the two horses’ first meeting a few weeks ago, the former did best with a third place.
Leo Wynn with Jeppe Juel in the bike was first on the outside after app. 400 meters – 500 meters in 1.18.6 and 1.18.2/1000 meter.
Shortly after Levi Wynn and Flemming Jensen improved to second on the outside, just behind Leo Wynn and that position held until the finishline.
In the last turn it was clear that Leo Wynn could not interfere in the decision, but he held on well to third place (3,500 DKK) in 1.16.5a/2000 meters ahead of Levi Wynn (1,500 DKK) – who was probably driven to safety after galloping in the last two starts – in 16.6.

LEO WYNN (DK) (archive photo) delivered a strong finish on Monday afternoon in Aalborg, where he came in second.
From starting lane 10, Leo Wynn was taken calmly from the start and made a short break after a few hundred meters, but quickly got back into a trot.
Noble B M was setting the pace with 1.15.2/500 meters and 1.16.2/1000 meters.
With about 500 meters to go, Leo Wynn was sent off in the third lane and delivered a strong finish down the stretch, but had to settle for second place (5,000 DKK) behind Lærke D, who won the race in 1.14.5a/1640 meters ahead of Leo Wynn in 15.0.
LEVI WYNN (SE) was the race favorite, but made a break into the first turn and was disqualified.
