Two top Swedish trotters retire to stud

Two of Sweden’s top trotters, Calgary Games and Very Kronos, have raced for the last time.

Calgary Games, who was undefeated in a short career in Sweden as a 3-and 4-year-old, made a break in his first and only race abroad in the Criterium Continental at Vincennes last Christmas, and has not raced since.

But until now, the plan by owner/trainer Timo Nurmos was to bring Calgary Games back to race.

Calgary Games – sired by Readly Express – has done stud duties since 2022 and has been extremely popular.

He had a full book in Sweden in 2022 and 2023 and his book is full and closed for 2024. He stands at Menhammar Stud.

In The United States, Calgary Games was bred to 35 mares in 2022 and 25 in 2023.

Calgary Games raced only 11 times and won 10 races, took a mark of 1.55.2f (over 1-5/16 mile) and earned $630,000.

Very Kronos – sired by Ready Cash – has raced 62 times, has 29 wins, earnings of $695,000 dollars and a mark of 1.53.4f. His wins include the Swedish Championship for elder trotters and the Sundsvall Open Trot.
