Wild Honey was an easy winner at Solvalla Wednesday night.

This was the second time Wild Honey raced in Sweden. She went on a break in her debut, but this time she stayed flat and won easily in a 1-5/16th mile trot in 1:57f (mile rate).

Wild Honey is owned by Stall Zet and trained by Daniel Redén.

At the same time at Jägersro, in southern Sweden, Royal Fighter, driven by Jennifer Tillman, won a mile event in 1:52.4f. Royal Fighter is trained by three-time Hambletonian winner, Per Eriksson.

Eriksson is hoping to get an invitation for the Elitlopp for Royal Fighter. Last year Royal Fighter won an elimination and finished fourth in the final.
