Campbellville, ON — Despite being the only European horse in Saturday night’s (July 17) single C$50,000 Maple Leaf Trot elimination at Mohawk Racetrack, the Swedish invader Reven D’Amour appears to like his new surroundings.

The son of Revenue S arrived at Mohawk Racetrack late Tuesday night and went a work mile Thursday morning and according to driver Fredrik Larrson the 5-year-old son likes it here in Canada.

“He trained yesterday at Mohawk Racetrack and really likes the track surface. We will just add a little more grab to his front shoes. Other than that, we won’t be making any equipment changes,” Larsson told WEG’s media department.

Larsson is fully aware that he will have to overcome post nine and defeat three horses to enter the C$772,000 final next Saturday.

“We are racing against some very good horses and we have a bad number. I know I have a good horse so we will try to do our best,” Larsson commented.

Larsson’s brother Henrik trains the $350,000 earner who has won his two previous starts for owner Stall Harriet.
