The little warrior with a big heart takes the fourth place. Aetos Kronos is invited to Elitloppet 2021.
- After strong performances in France, he was phenomenal in his last race and I'm very impressed with him," says Solvalla's sports director Anders Malmrot.
Aetos Kronos started his career as a two-year-old and is used to competing in big races. He finished third in Svensk Uppfödningslöpning during his first racing season and since then he has several nice titles on his record. As a three-year-old in 2019, he showed himself to the Elitlopp audience when he took home the Håkan Wallner Memorial - Treåringseliten with one million kronor in first prize. A season that then continued with victory in both the long and short E3 finals where it became another two million victories and Aetos Kronos has always belonged to the litter top. As a four-year-old he won the King Gustaf V's Cup with another million SEK as first prize. Later in the year he was third in the Swedish Trotting Derby behind Hail Mary and already Elitlopps invited Don Fanucci Zet and he also won the Solvalla Grand Prix with 300.000 SEK as first prize.
The 2021 season began in France where he won the Prix Bold Eagle during the Prix D'Amerique day at Vincennes and he also encountered the world elite where he finished third in the Prix De France in mid-February.
Aetos Kronos had taken a short break from competition and was back in Sweden, at Halmstadtravet, on Saturday where he despite a very tough race took home the victory in the Paralympic competition. A very impressive effort where he is now the fourth horse to get a pink ticket - trainer Jerry Riordan won the Elitloppet 2018 as a trainer together with the horse Ringostarr Treb and now gets a new opportunity.
- "Aetos Kronos has developed into a world class horse and he is a wonderful warrior who will be exciting to see in Elitloppet," says Solvalla's sports manager Anders Malmrot.
