Double Deceiver Announced for 2025 MGM Yonkers International Trot
The Swedish-owned son of Cantab Hall is the third horse to join the 2025 International Trot field
With this year’s Yonkers International Trot less than three weeks away (Saturday, September 13th), a third participant has been announced – joining Hohneck and Gio Cash will be Swedish owned (and American bred) Double Deceiver! Local fans might remember this son of Cantab Hall as he was a 2nd place finisher in the 2022 MGM Yonkers Trot (behind the outstanding mare, Joviality S) – he ended the year with a 2nd in the Breeders Crown and a win in the Matron Stakes, then was purchased by Swedish connections and has been racing there ever since. He’s having an outstanding 2025 season in Sweden, having won the Sweden Cup in Solvalla in May, then the St. Michel Ajo in Mikkeli, and just two weeks ago, the Jamtland Stora Pris.
Hopefully regular pilot Orjan Kihlstrom will be here to drive him, as he is one of the most successful European drivers ever (he’s won big races in the U.S as well, and has competed in the International Trot three times in the past).
