This past Sunday, the biggest event of the autumn, Stockholm Cup Day, took place at Bro Park. We witnessed top-level international racing and an emotional rollercoaster throughout the day. Now, you can relive the event through the eyes of our photographers.
Spectators filled the stands, and the excitement was palpable as the best horses from Scandinavia and international guests met at Bro Park.
In this article, we’ve selected some of our favorite photos from the day.
