by Karsten Bønsdorf, USTA Newsroom Senior Correspondent

Sweden’s Horse of the Year, Nuncio, will return to action Saturday afternoon (Feb. 18) at Axevalla and as usual top driver Ôrjan Kihlström will be in the bike.

Nuncio will race in a 1-5/16 mile event, the Gulddivision, as part of the V75 wager and will be the heavy favorite.

Nuncio has not raced since Sept. 18 of last year, winning the Masters Trot final at Bjerke, Oslo.

The first big stakes race in 2017 for Nuncio will be the Olympic Trot at Aby, Gothenburg, in late April.
