Elitlopp audiences may welcome him a fourth time.
Vivid Wise As received a pink ticket and will once again come to Solvalla.
- Winning the Elitloppet has always been my biggest dream and it's a great feeling for me and my team to be invited again. Let's hope it can be Vivid Wise A's turn this year", says coach Alessandro Gocciadoro.
Gallop, second and fourth are the facts in Elitloppet so far for Vivid Wise As. In 2021, he claimed second place after being in the lead for most of the final, but then had to give in to Don Fanucci Zet shortly before the finish. Last year he was fourth behind Etonnant and this year a new Solvalla adventure awaits Vivid Wise As after convincing in a big race victory on the French Riviera.
The win in the Grand Criterium de Vitesse last time, in a time of 1.09,1 over the Elitlopp distance of 1609 meters, was taken after a furious sprint over the long run-up, and it was the third victory for Vivid Wise As in France's biggest sprint race. The biggest triumph of his career comes from 2022 when Vivid Wise As won the Prix de France at Vincennes with 180,000 euros for the winner.
Now he gets the chance to beat this as he is again one of the sixteen invited to the last Sunday in May, as Solvalla's sports director Anders Malmrot revealed in Saturday's V75 Direkt in TV4, and four horses are thus ready for Elitloppet 2023.
- Vivid Wise As was second in 2021 and after winning the Grand Critérium de Vitesse in an impressive way, he is again a given Elitlopp horse, says Anders Malmrot.
