Habitat and Uncle Lasse have been sold to Swedish owners and they will continue their racing career overseas in 2016.

Yonkers Trot winner Habitat is already in Sweden and in training for Peter Untersteiner at Halmstad racetrack, but will stand at stud at Haleryd Studfarm in southern Sweden. Untersteiner expects to race the Conway Hall son in the late summer.

Uncle Lasse, who finished third in the Hambletonian, has been sold to a group led by well renowned horseman and photographer Stefan “Tarzan” Melander.
