On May 31, the horse Propulsion, ridden by Örjan Kihlström, won the Elite Race at Solvalla.
Coach Daniel Redén was overjoyed.
A few days later, information came that Propulsion was nervous and an investigation was started.
- It is important for us to understand if there have been shortcomings in the handling and if so which ones, wrote Svensk Travsport's CEO Maria Croon in an email to Travronden.
The coach has sworn free
No similar case has ever been investigated in Sweden of this dignity.
Nerve cutting is prohibited in Sweden, but legal in the United States.
Nerve sitting is when you cut off nerves so that the horse does not feel pain when performing.
The nest has sworn free from the fact that he knew something about Propulsion being nerve-wracking.
If Propulsion is found to be nervous, he will be washed and deprived of the victory in the Elite Race, plus all previous victories.
If the trainer Daniel Redén is judged to be responsible, he, and alternatively also the stable Stall Zet, may be liable for repayment for the SEK 30-35 million that the horse has earned in Sweden.
SVT Sport has applied for Svensk Travsport's CEO Maria Croon without result.
