There will be a third time in Elitloppet.
Milliondollarrhyme is the eighth horse to be ready for Elitloppet in 2021.
- He has never been better than he is right now," says Solvalla's sports director Anders Malmrot.
Milliondollarrhyme participated for the first time in 2019 and finished in fourth place. Last year he finished fourth and now it is once again time to participate in Elitloppet at his home track Solvalla. The victory in the Swedish Championship 2019 at Åbytravet is otherwise the biggest of his career so far and a race that many trotting lovers do not forget in the first place. Milliondollarrhyme sprinted past his competitors via a swirling finish and won by far when he took home the first prize of SEK 500,000 and he has participated in many big races in recent years.
In 2021, he has had three starts where he won The Onions race at Solvalla in 1.10,7 over sprinter distance the last time he tracked the race from start to finish.
In Sunday's big race Finlandia Ajo at Vermo trotting track he again showed a huge starting speed where he flashed to the lead. A loaded Milliondollarrhyme then ran on at an incredibly high pace where he could not resist winning, and already invited, Hickothepooh in the end - but the qualities he has shown and possesses give him a pink ticket. On Wednesday, Solvalla's sports manager Anders Malmrot invited Milliondollarrhyme, which will be his third start in Elitloppet - thus there are eight places left and half the starting field is ready for Elitloppet 2021.
- With its starting speed and explosiveness, Milliondollarrhyme is a given," says Anders Malmrot.
