The series focuses on individuals within the harness racing community, documenting their lives beyond the competitions. Brothers Lowe and Noa Reldén are among the featured profiles. Lowe Reldén is 21 years old and originally from Östersund but now resides in Kalmar, having completed his high school education.
Noa Reldén is 19 years old. After finishing ninth grade, he secured a job and began his harness racing career post-high school with a full-time apprenticeship under a trainer. According to SVT Småland, Noa Reldén described starting in harness racing immediately after high school, obtaining full-time employment as an apprentice with a trainer.
I started in harness racing already after high school. Got a full-time employment with a trainer where I could be an apprentice.
Major media reports indicate the brothers have already made an impact on harness racing in Sweden. Another profile in the series is Elisabeth Almheden, a Kalmar-based figure who has achieved significant success in recent years with horses that have competed in the Elitloppet. According to SVT Småland, Elisabeth Almheden described the Reldén brothers as the future and expressed hope that the series can showcase harness racing as more than just competitions.
She also hopes the series will attract more young people to the sport. Specific details about the series remain unclear, including what storylines will feature the Reldén brothers, how many episodes it comprises, and which other profiles besides them and Almheden are included. The exact premiere time and channel on April 21 have not been disclosed, and the initial public or critical reception to the announcement is unknown.
They are the future. Hope that more can see that harness racing is more than just competitions.
I got goosebumps a few times during the filming.
