This year's elite race weekend is finally here and we have a packed weekend ahead of us with top-class trotting horses! However, the circumstances are special and we can unfortunately not welcome the world's best audience to the arena - but hope that the digital solution will be memorable and that you all feel the urge for next year's elite race, which will of course be enjoyed on site!
Elitloppet is decided this year on Sunday evening when we got the opportunity to broadcast live on TV4 at prime time. During Elitlopp on Saturday and Sunday, you can also watch Solvallas Intern-TV if you have an account on atg.se. There will be extra interviews and we will also post a lot of clips from the stables on YouTube - follow solvallatravbana.
Also follow Solvalla on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and feel free to use #elitloppet2020 on the posts you publish yourself.
This year's edition is very uncertain and almost all participants are mentioned with a chance of victory, which is extremely unusual. I am very happy that Propulsion
is back on the starting line, a champion who is now making his fifth attempt in Elitloppet and there are many who keep their fingers crossed for this super horse and he
really brightens up the race. Among many others, I am also excited and grateful that Jarmo Niskanen is making the trip up to Stockholm with his incredible
fine Earl Simon. A horse I was charmed by in France and I hope he also gets to show at Solvalla how good he is. As I said, Elitloppet 2020 has many
victory candidates and it will go away at 20:30 when the starting car releases the field.
I could go through most of the races here as there are many goodies but suffice to say that Elitkampen will be memorable.
We have a fantastic starting field and what a spice the race got when Gunnar Melander entered his Månprinsen A.M. and gave the race the final finish that Jim Fricks races deserve!
Elitlopp Sunday is actually Solvalla's race day number 6000! There are many of you who have created memories for life here with us at Solvalla so
Please take a minute and reflect on which is your best Solvalla memory. Mine will forever be the 1994 duel - Copiad vs Pine Chip.
The audience - we miss you!
Thank you to all the sponsors who make this day possible. We are very grateful that you want to be seen here with us at Solvalla! On behalf of Stockholms Travsällskap,
On behalf of its Board and the staff of Solvalla, I wish you all the best for Elitloppet 2020.
Yours sincerely
Anders Malmrot Sports Director Solvalla
