The first 2-year-old race in Sweden was held at the Axevallam track and it resulted in a win for the Kadabra filly Mystical Ann (out of Tra La La, by Valley Victory). She was timed in 2:04.2 over 1,640 meters.
Mystical Ann is trained and driven by Åke Svanstedt. She is owned by Borre Hoibye, who call his stable Deseks AB. He is also a part-owner in the stallion Pine Chip.
Tra La La was a purchases at the Meadowlands January Sale three years ago for $40,000.
While Mystical Ann won, Borre also enjoyed the first career win by his most expensive purchase ever, the 5-year-old horse Self Possesion (Self Possessed-Judy Garland ). He paid $310,000 for the horse as a yearling at Tattersalls.
Self Possession won in a mile rate of 2:02.3 over 1,820 meters at the Aarhus track in Denmark for trainer-driver Knud Monster.
