Propulsion, driven by Ôrjan Kihlström, came from behind to win an international stakes race at the Ârjäng track in Sweden on Saturday afternoon (July 14) in 1:51.2f, which was a new track record.

The old record was held by Sebastian K, who won the same race back in 2013 in 1:52f.

This was win number four in 2018 and with the purse for the winner of $70,000, Propulsion now has lifetime earnings of $1.9 million.

Propulsion will probably race next time in the Aabergs Memorial at Jägersro on July 31.

On Saturday’s card at Ârjäng, a race for 3-year-old trotters was won by Betting Gangster in 1:55.1f, driven by Carl Johan Jepson. That time was also a new track record.
