He won the final in 2021 - this year he is participating for the fourth time.
Wednesday's win in the Meadow Roads race earned a direct entry into Elitloppet 2024 for Don Fanucci Zet.
- We have one goal now and that is the "pink". Not many people can beat a Don Fanucci Zet in top form," said coach Daniel Redén immediately after the race.
As in recent years, a pink ticket awaited the winner of the Meadow Roads race at Solvalla on Wednesday evening. Don Fanucci Zet fulfilled the big favorite and thus the trainer Daniel Redén has two horses in this year's edition, since stablemate Francesco Zet is already invited.
Don Fanucci Zet has earned more than fourteen million SEK and has a total of four million SEK race wins on his record. He won Sprintermästaren 2020 and Norrbottens Stora Pris and Hugo Åbergs Memorial 2022 - but the biggest triumph of his career was when he sprinted home the Elitlopp final at Solvalla 2021 where, after a second place in the trial race, he was the toughest in the final in his record time of 1.08,9 over 1609 meters autostart. 2024 will be the fourth time that Don Fanucci Zet is behind the starting car in the world's biggest sprint race.
- Don Fanucci Zet is a fantastic runner and it is so nice to see him at this level again where he belongs, says Solvalla's sports manager Anders Malmrot.
This means that half of the starting field is ready and eight places remain to be filled for Elitloppet 2024 on May 26.
