Thursday evening at Åby 2-yo GLORIA WYNN (SE) made a nice performance in at testrace (“Prämielopp”) with Julian Cordeau in the bike, where she finished in 1.27,2/2160 meter.
Next Monday, August 24th at Färjestad another 2-yo, JAMIE WYNN (SE) will also go out in a testrace with his owner and trainer, Paw Mahony.
On Tuesday, August 25, at Jägersro, LEVI WYNN (SE) will attempt to qualify for the 2026 Swedish Trotting Derby!
Levi Wynn—owned by Carsten Sørensen—impressed in his debut for Joakim Lövgren, winning easily in 1:13.0a/2,140 meters.
However, he faces a tough challenge in one of the most difficult Derby qualifiers, coming up against top horses such as Wise Guy, Gap Kronos, and Eol—all of whom have earned over SEK 2.3 million.
The top two finishers in the Derby qualifiers earn a spot in the Derby itself.

Within the next week, two of our 2-year-olds are set to compete in testraces (“Præmielopp”) in Sweden. On Thursday, GLORIA WYNN (SE) (top photo) will race at Åby with Julian Cordeau in the bike, and on Monday, it is JAMIE WYNN’s (SE) turn at Färjestad with Paw Mahony.
Gloria Wynn (filly by Father Patrick-Princess Corner)—trained by Sophia Olsson Jacobsen at Åby—is Princess Corner’s second-oldest offspring. She is also the dam of 3-yo Henry Wynn (SE) (colt by Calgary Games), 1-yo Wendy Wynn (SE) (filly by Maharajah), and the filly foal Paris Wynn (DK) (by Calgary Games).
Jamie Wynn (colt by Nuncio-Jolie Journey) is the dam’s third offspring. Jolie Journey has previously produced 4-yo Ezra Wynn (SE) (colt by Nuncio) and 3-yo Wilson Wynn (SE) (colt by Greenshoe), who are in training with Gennaro Casillo in Italy and Amanda Teresia Hansson at Åby, respectively. This year, she produced the colt foal Parker Wynn (DK) (by Maharajah).
Both Gloria Wynn and Jamie Wynn were sold at last year’s Åby Yearling Sale.

Monday 3-yo ANNA WYNN (DK) is racing at Halmstad with his trainer, Christoffer Eriksson in the bike.
On Saturday, 3-yo MEERA WYNN (DK) made her comeback at the Montecatini racetrack in Italy following a six-week break, delivering a solid performance to finish third in 1:14.4a/2,040 meters.
Early in the race, she was left racing three-wide for the first 300–400 meters before Vincenzo Luongo managed to maneuver her into the second lane.
From then on, Meera Wynn stayed well in contention right to the finish, finishing close behind the winner, Indiana Bar, who won with a time of 14.1.
This was Meera Wynn’s sixth start of the year, yielding two wins, two second-place and one third-place.

It would be interesting to see Meera Wynn face off against Magda & Co.!
Saturday at Aaby, 4-yo ISAAC WYNN (SE)—trained by Robert Bergh—finishing second with Rikard N. Skoglund in the bike in 1:13.6/2,160 meters.
Starting with a 20-meter handicap, he was held back early on and spent much of the race at the rear of the field, but moved up to the third pair on the outside during the final lap.
Entering the final bend, Isaac Wynn was sent wide into the third path and finished strongly to take second place (25,000 SEK)—narrowly beaten by the second favorite, Magnus Palema, who led from start to finish and closed the final stretch at a 1:09 pace!
At the time of writing, it is unknown whether Isaac Wynn will be aimed at the Derby, but he has earned 298,700 SEK to date. He has recorded three wins from 17 starts.

NAKISKA (SE) (file photo) delivered a fantastic finish in Friday’s race at Eskilstuna, securing a surprise third-place finish!
Starting from post 12, the 3-year-old Nakiska—trained by Fredrik Wallin and driven by Per Lennartsson—was handled patiently at the start and positioned at the back of the field along the inside rail.
The outsider Giola led from start to finish (splits of 1:12.3/500m and 1:14.7/1000m) and won easily in 1:15.0a/2140 meter.
With 850 meters remaining, Nakiska moved out to the second path, and as they entered the final turn, she was sent on an attack out wide.
There was a significant gap to the leaders around the final turn, but Nakiska finished incredibly strongly to claim third place (17,500 SEK) with a time of 15.3.

4-yo LILLY WYNN (DK)—trained by Celine Samuelsson—also competed at Eskilstuna with Adam Hanley in the bike; unfortunately, she broke stride at the start and finished unplaced in 1:17.1a/2140 meter.

3-year-old VINCE WYNN (SE) finished third in tonight’s race at Örebro following a very strong performance.
He was quickest off the mark and took the lead but yielded after 450 meters to the eventual winner, Vancouver Tile, who trottet the first 500 meters at a 1:12 pace and the first kilometer in 1:15.9.
Vince Wynn stayed right with the winner all the way to the finish and was narrowly beaten into third place (17,500 SEK) in 1.13,9a/2100 meter, having trottet the final 500 meters in 1:09.7.

LEO WYNN (DK) and Jeppe Juel (photo) unfortunately failed to qualify for the Danish Trotting Derby, but finished a respectable fifth after a solid performance.
Starting from post position 2, Leo Wynn had a good run positioned third in the outer line, while the heavy favorite, Look Like Gaagaa, took the lead early on and controlled the race to secure a comfortable victory in 1:14.3a/2500 meters.
Entering the final turn, he improved his position between other horses and briefly moved up to fourth place, but encountered some traffic issues approaching the finish line and had to settle for fifth place (DKK 3,000) in 14.6.
With a bit more luck during the decisive phase of the race, he might well have qualified for the Derby, but it was great to see Leo Wynn performing at his best despite all the challenges Jeppe Juel has faced.

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!
