Two Derby-horses in first crop?

Wynn Stud has made a fantastic start with our first crop (2022) with the prospect of having a horse qualify for *both* the Danish and Swedish Trotting Derbies!

LEO WYNN (DK) (top photo) is still looking for his first win of the season—having returned to Denmark and Jeppe Juel’s stable shortly before Christmas—but he has performed well, most recently finishing fifth in the Jydsk 4-Year-Old Grand Prix after a gallop.

His next challenge is the Derby trials at Lunden on Wednesday, August 12, where we naturally hope Leo Wynn will qualify for the Danish Trotting Derby.

Across the Øresund, we have LEVI WYNN (SE), who made a comeback last Tuesday for his new trainer, Joakim Lövgren, securing a brilliant victory with a time of 1.13.0a/2140 meters following an impressive performance.

Levi Wynn remains owned by Carsten Sørensen; it was his former trainer, Flemming Jensen, who recommended sending the son of International Moni to Sweden for training to give him the best possible conditions leading up to the major races of his four-year-old season.

Flemming Jensen himself did an outstanding job with Levi Wynn, who—prior to the move to Sweden—had recorded three wins and a second-place finish in his last four starts.

Now, the sights are set on the Swedish Trotting Derby!

The crop of 2022 also includes ISAAC WYNN (SE) with three wins and 235.000 SEK in Sweden.

As breeders, we are very proud of these two Derby candidates; it would be a HUGE achievement to have a horse qualify for both Derby races from a crop of just six horses!
