“I want to win the Prix d’Amérique! “. That’s what Daniel Redén said a few days before the Grand Prix de Belgique, the 12th stage of the EpiqE Series. Even if it sets the bar very high, the trainer will have four beautiful cards in hand to try to challenge Bold Eagle and Timoko on January 29th.
At the start of the winter meeting, Daniel Redén told Paris-Turf newspaper to have “at best four horses, at worst zero” at the start of the Grande Course. It is a full card for the Scandinavian, whose stats are eloquent on French soil since its first starting (winner) in January 2015: 12 victories and 11 podiums for 43 races, a 53% success in the first three 2 successes and 6 places for 14 races since the start of the winter meeting 2016-17). If it is necessary to specify that its champion Call Me Keeper is there for many concerning the figures “to the wins” (10 successes with us), In Vain Sund nevertheless comes to remove a semi-classic (Prix de Croix, January 14), and eight of his protégés took a silver or bronze medal.
The 37-year-old has also been as successful on social networks as on the track. Just go to his Twitter account (more than 11,000 subscribers) to be convinced. Through clips and photos, we discover a joie de vivre that he visibly transmits to his horses!
But in addition to his passion for the trotter, Daniel Redén owes his success also to the great Swedish trainer Stefan Melander, with whom he made his classes for fifteen years. Then in 2008, Redén became the special coach of the Stal Zet (stable Zet), and today is at the head of about 80 elements, based in Örsundsbro, about 80 kilometers northwest of Stockhölm. The team also has a small staff at Jimmy Takter in the United States, where Redén also made a name by finding Trixton in sales in 2012. Two years later the foal won the famous “Hambletonian” reserved for the best American 3-year-old horses, in front of the phenomenon Nuncio, winning since the classic Scandinavian Elitloppet, in Solvalla, in May 2016.
In Sweden, Daniel Redén distinguished himself 100 times last year, winning, in particular, the coveted “Breeders Crown” with In Toto Sund. Will he succeed in fulfilling his dream with one of his four starters on the last Sunday in January?
