Victoria Park, Wolvega; The Netherlands. Friday 16-11-2011.

2100m.

First of all thanks to my colleague Mytubes4u2. The track was not able to deliver me the racevideo, but Mytubes flying to the rescue, in great quality !
Check out his excellent channel with all highlighting Dutch Trotting, the Netl Stables (Bas Crebas) and updating us about Hans Crebas residing in Sweden !

Zuhalter is a little bit fickle ... He is the kind of horse that is suddenly there to steal your heart by winning it epicly ! At that moment you will be surprised, again.
And so he did last friday at Victoria Park.

Defeating Bruce B Boko and a lot of betters, 90-1 people, that's Zuhalter for you.
First time excellent John de Leeuw showed him the way, looking like a nice combo together.
By the time Bruce B Boko started to think about another win, John took Zuhalter out. Bruce B Boko never touched him again. Making his trainer Arnold Mollema, his breeder/owner mr. Van der Oord and groom Nienke Barneveld very happy.

More in this video :

Following Cornelis Loman and his Deja Vu in the same race. Deja Vu had three wins in the Czech Republic for her trainer, Alle Loman, Cornelis' brother.
Also meeting Peppina AL upclose and personal. She is related to a lot of Heroes from my childhood.. Nice bloodlines.

Yanantin Boko supposed to start with Hugo Langeweg Jr. in de 2011 Prijs der Giganten.
He was in great shape when leaving his native country Sweden where he is trained by Timo Nurmos.
Disaster struck...Yanantin was found very sick when he arrived in Wolvega. Diagnosed with shipping fever his life was hanging on a thin line...looking death in the eye.

Last week i was told he was doing a little better again, but i was really surprised to meet him in Arnold Mollema's barn ! He moved there when leaving the clinic.
He is still a little skinny ofcourse, but he loves to eat, and Nienke told me, when the window in his stall opens, he loves to look outside, being interested.
Nienke and i made him beautiful, because his owner wanted to take a look.
His racing status is still very questionable though.

I have the exclusive pictures ! Get well Yanantin Boko !!


You will also meet Torpedo As, a German-bred son of Diamond Way, and Yankee Glide as the broodmare-sire. Talk about bloodlines...
Torpedo is a 2 year old whose career just kicked off with a success in the qualifier.

All and all a fun video ! Enjoy !

Music by Azymuth. From their brand new album Aurora ! Buy it from Far Out Recordings !
Funk/jazz at its very best.
