Hambletonian hopeful Brooklyn Hill is featured in the second edition of ‘Fika with Jonas,’ which airs on YouTube, starting on April 1.
‘Fika’ is the Swedish word for a coffee break.
Trainer Jonas Czernyson will take the audience into the stall of Brooklyn Hill, a three-year-old son of Muscle Hill, as the trotter is prepared and equipped for a jog on the half-mile sand track and the main racetrack at Winners Training Center in Chesterfield, NJ.
Brooklyn Hill, who is owned by the SRF Stable of Delray Beach, FL, earned $188,700 last year at age two and finished in-the-money in eight of his 10 starts. He picked up his first win in a New Jersey Sire Stakes and posted his mark of 1:53.1 in his final start of 2015, the International Stallion Stakes at Lexington’s Red Mile on October 8.
In the second episode, Czernyson answers viewer questions about bits and overchecks. Next month in Episode 3, Czernyson will discuss shoeing.
