Though he is busy at stud, French trotting star Bold Eagle has also been training and his trainer Sebastian Guarato is aiming him for the Elitlopp at Solvalla on May 28.

Bold Eagle hasn’t raced since he won the Prix de Paris at Vincennes in late February, but Saturday afternoon (April 22) he will return to action at Enghien, the other trotting track in Paris, France, in the Prix de l’Atlantique, to be raced over the 1- 5/16th-mile distance. Bold Eagle will face 10 opponents and the total purse is $215,000.

From this race Bold Eagle will go directly to Solvalla.
