It was a truly international St. Stevene’s Day for the Italian trotting with five victories in four different countries and a third place in a group race. The afternoon began in Finland, at Lathi, with the success of Doctor Gio (by Victor Gio) driven by A. Moilanen. In Malta, on the other hand, breeding partner Velvet Gio (Nad Al Sheba) won in a chase race over 3180 metres, driven by R.Gatt. In the same race, Al Capone Stecca’s fourth place was noteworthy.
In Germany in Munich, the second consecutive victory for Foxtrot Jet (Leben Rl) of the Toniatti breeding farm driven by C.Schwarz. Then the racing day in Solvalla in which two of Alessandro Gocciadoro’s pupils won. Esperia Font, driven by Magnus Djuse, achieved her fifth victory in the last eight outings by winning the season final of the Diamantstoet (almost 30,000 euros to the first), while Diva Ek, driven by Orjan Kihlstrom for the colours of Antonio Nucera and the Effebi stable, achieved her sixth consecutive victory by dominating the final of Bronsdivisionen. In the same meeting the Gulddivisionen final (Gr. 2) saw a brilliant third place of Charmant De Zack (Magnus Djuse) who ran as a protagonist alongside the leader Decision Maker only to lose the place of honour by a narrow margin near the pole to Dancer Brodde.
