The 4.9/1 odds Hail Mary (4m Googoo Gaagaa-Dreams-Victory Dream) went to the front at the start, exchanged leads with Usain Toll, retook the front and controlled the pace leading to an easy 1.12.8kr timed victory in the Gr. I National Svenskt Travderby (2,000,000SEK to the winner, 2640 meters autostart, 12 starters).
Trainer Robert Bergh teamed the winner for Stall Mary AB as Hail Mary won for the 14th time in 16 career starts, now for 3,373,000 in life earnings.
The 3.3/1 favorite Don Fanucci Zet (4m Hard Livin-Kissed By The West-Western Terror) was very game second after a tough journey on the outer for reinsman Orjan Kihlstrom, trainer Daniel Reden and Stall Zet. He was clocked in 1.13.1kr, the same as third finishing Aetos Kronos (4m Bold Eagle-Will OF A Woman-Muscles Yankee that closed from last late in the final bend for driver Magnus A. Djuse, trainer Jerry Riordan and co-owners Team Snyder AB and Aetos Dios AM.
The fractions were fast at the start and finish, with pedestrian clocking mid-race (1.07.7kr at the first 500; 1.12.9kr at the 1000; 1.14.3kr at the first 1500; 1.13.8kr at the 2000 and 1..12.8kr for the finish)
