Ina Scot - Racing Career - 1996 - 7 Years Old

7 Years Old

In the year that would be Ina Scot's last on the tracks, her connections chose a similar start of the campaign as the previous year. France and Vincennes was once again paid a visit. First the mare entered Prix de Belgique and two weeks later Prix d'Amérique. The success of 1995 was not to be repeated, as Ina Scot and driver Johansson finished fourth in Prix d'Amérique, before they rounded off the last French trip by ending up without money in Prix de France.

After a rest period of a couple of months, Ina Scot returned in April, but lost a minor race at home track Mantorp. On May 12, she claimed the Norwegian international race Oslo Grand Prix. Ina Scot then once again tried to make it to the Elitloppet final, but failed. This marked the end of her career as a racing horse.

The last year on the racetracks gave a total of US$168,227 in six races and one win. Her total sum of earnings during the entire racing career was US$2,963,019, making her the richest Swedish mare trotter ever.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    With care, and skill, and cunning art,
    She parried Time’s malicious dart,
    And kept the years at bay,
    Till passion entered in her heart
    And aged her in a day!
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)
