Ringostarr Treb cleared to go

by Karsten Bønsdorf, USTA Newsroom Senior Correspondent

Ringostarr Treb is cleared to go to the United States to race in the International Trot at Yonkers Raceway, after he won a qualifier Wednesday (Oct. 3) at noon at the Bahrenfeld track in Hamburg, Germany.

Ringostarr Treb, driven by Wim Paal, was timed in 2:00.1 (mile rate) in the 2,200 meter qualifier (1-3/16 miles).

Ringostarr Treb had to qualify as he made a break in a race last Wednesday (Sept. 26) at Solvalla — his first race since his win in the Elitlopp at Solvalla in May.

Just after the race, Riordan and driver Wim Paal led Ringostarr Treb up the track along the outside rail. The track apron at Solvalla is elevated from the racing surface and the thousands of fans along the fence leaned over and reached out. Their extended arms hung over the trainer, driver, and horse, enclosing them in a tunnel of humanity. The newly crowned Elitlopp winner took it all in stride.
