Oiseau De Feux - AKA The Phantom

Oiseau de Feux is being cool after winning 110 000 euros in Finlandia-ajo 2008 in Helsinki, Finland. The French born stallion has now won over one million euros in prize money.

Having Said That

Caballo

“Goddamn these three kilometer races make me tired!” German born stallion Caballo is easy to recognize in Finnish harness racing tracks, as he is one of the few horses bearing grey colour. He was imported from Germany (via Sweden and France) in August 2007, and is finally getting healthier and better, and challenging horses in longer distances.

Joakim Monarch

Joakim Monarch was imported from Denmark this summer. In his eight races in Finland his performances have varied a lot. On 3rd November, he won a race of 4100 meters.
