Henrik Engblom was untouchable at Bro Park on Tuesday evening, where three of his horses found their way to the winner’s circle – crowned by Nimitz in the biggest race of the day.

It produced no fewer than four second places, including in the 1000 Guineas, the 2000 Guineas and Bro Park Vårsprint (L), as well as a third place in Stockholms Stora Pris (Gr.3).
