Jimmy Takter-trained Creatine was unlucky with the draw in the UET Masters Trot final to be raced Sunday (Sept. 13) at Mons Racetrack in Belgium.

Twelve trotters were entered in the race and Creatine with Johnny Takter drew number nine and thus will race from the second tier. Eight trotters will race from the first tier.

Swedish trotters dominate the entry list with no less than seven born in Sweden. France, by far the biggest trotting nation in Europe, has just one entry, Timoko, who will go to the International Trot at Yonkers after this race.
