Shaq Is Back, sired by Credit Winner and of Vivica Hall, she by Victory Dream, won very easily in 1:52.2f — a new track record — five lengths ahead of Photo Sea driven by Peter Untersteiner.

A month ago Shaq Is Back raced in the Elitlopp, but didn’t make it to the final.

So far, he has raced 11 times this year, winning four races.

Another impressive winner at Kalmar was the 4-year-old Swedish trotter Donttellmeanymore, driven by Kim Eriksson, who won by four lengths in 1:54.1f.

Donttellmeanymore was sired by the lightly raced Andover Andover, a son to Andover Hall, and out of Possessive Lilly, she by Self Possessed.
