Jaldi Karo does it for Hagman-Eriksson

HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival’s Group 3 race in Sweden

Malmo, Sweden - Owner-trainer Maria Hagman-Eriksson scored another victory in a HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Flat Racing Festival race when Jaldi Karo won the Wathba Stallions Cup (Group 3) race at Jägersro in Sweden on Monday.

Ten runners started in the Euros 15,000 race run on the dirt tracks at Jägersro and the Group 3 race was run over a distance of 1730 metres.

It turned out a cracking race and inside the last hundred meters three horses were lying side by side. In the end Maria Hagman-Eriksson’s Jaldi Karo under jockey Per A Graberg denied Macallan, a two-time winner of the Wathba Stallions Sprint Cup. Macallan was ridden by Martin Rodrigues and the newly imported Al Mounteze Monlau under E. Chaves finished third.

The winning time was 2 minutes and 0.9 seconds.
