Harness Players' Podcast - International Trot 2026 Field Preview

In The Money Media's Harness Players' Podcast returns with a deep dive into the field for this year's International Trot 2026, a $1-million race scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12 at Yonkers Raceway.

This year's edition attracts competitors from seven countries to go the 1-1/4-mile distance over the New York half-mile track.

America will be represented by Super Chapter, runner-up in Hambletonian 2025 last year and a current standout among the older trotting ranks in North America. Canada's representative Lexus Kody, winner of International Trot 2025, returns to defend his title while Sweden has a four-pronged contingent including a pair that have campaigned in North America in Antongoni S for Ron Burke and Bourbonista S for Marcus Melander. Diva EK, who finished sixth in Elitloppet 2026 behind Allegiant, returns from a runner-up finish in last year's International Trot to represent Italy while Powwow, last year's third-place finisher, hoists the flag for Norway again. Gio Cash wears the badge for Germany and seeks revenge after being locked in the pocket in last year's International Trot, settling for fourth. Hooker Berry, winner of Prix d'Amerique 2023, earned an invitation to the race to represent France and Mellby Jinx is the last of the representatives for Sweden.
