La Verite (24 May 2017 – 9 February 2022) was a Swedish-bred American standardbred sired by Swedish champion Readly Express.

Background

[edit]

La Verite was a bay gelding sired by Readly Express and his grandsire was French champion trotter Ready Cash. La Verite's dam, Bardot Boko was sired by Dream Vacation.[1] He was bred and owned in Sweden by Kontio Stable AB, and was sent to training with Katja Melkko.[2]

Racing career

[edit]

2021: four-year-old season

[edit]

La Verite made his racing debut as a four-year-old on 4 January 2021 on Färjestadstravet,[3] in which he came fifth. He took his first victory in his second start, on 12 March 2021 on Romme travbana, after he went off stride.[4] During his four-year-old season he raced 10 times with a record of 5-2-0.

2022: five-year-old season

[edit]

As a four-year-old he took two victories in a row. In his third start on 9 February 2022 at Solvalla he went off as a post-favorite. In the race, driver Jorma Kontio felt that something was wrong with La Verite, that went down in the middle of the race. La Verite later died at the track, at the age of 4.[5][6][7]
