It has been nine months since he last raced, but Daniel Redén-trained Francesco Zet with Ôrjan Kihlstrom in the bike was ready when he raced at the Rättvik track in Sweden Friday night.

Francesco Zet won in the hand drive and with open lengths I 1.52.4f – this was his 18th consecutive win.

Francesco Zet was the second trotter this year to get invited to the Elitlopp and he looks the picture.

“I was very satisfied with his race. I don’t think I’ll race him more before the Elitlopp, we will put more speed and power in him at home,” Redén said after the race.

Francesco Zet is sired by Father Patrick and out of Shagline by Credit Winner.
