About Jimmy...

Jimmy Takter got his start in the harness racing business through his father Bo W. Takter, who is one of the most successful trainers in Sweden. When Jimmy was 5 years old he started helping his father around the barn. He began working for his father when he was 16 years old. His first driving victory came at age 18 at Jagersro in Malmo, Sweden. The horse was Air Money, and he paid $88.00 to win. Takter’s first U.S. win came in 1983 at The Meadowlands with Baltic Speed in a New Jersey Sires Stake. Takter credits his father for his success in the business. He says, “I admire my father because he has taught me so much about this business. I also admire Soren Nordin as I worked for him for two years in the United States...he is such a great horseman.”
