The world's biggest race for the cold-blooded breed warmed up the Solvallap audience for the Elitloppet.
One million was waiting for the winner and for the fourth time in five years, Norwegian cold blood expert Tom Erik Solberg won the Elitkampen - Jim Frick's Race.
This time with Tangen Bork, which with its deliciously protruding color is easy to take to heart.
Tom Erik Solberg told us in advance about the tactics. To take the back of Grislefaksen G.L. from the start, get a nice outside run in the back and put in the attack at the end. His hopes in advance were fulfilled to the letter. Tangen Bork, who was second in Elitkampen last year, took revenge on last year's winner Evartti.
The race was tough, but just before the finish line, Tangen Bork took the lead with a fantastic time of 1.18,6/1.640 meters, which is the fifth fastest victory on Swedish soil of all time.
- This time it feels a little extra. Tangen Bork has been my absolute favorite horse for years and to win here with him is very big. Yes, the plans were perfect all the way - from start to finish," said Tom Erik Solberg.
Finnish Evartti was second, while Swedish Månlykke A.M. took third place one length behind the leading duo.
Tangen Bork is trained by Bergsåker's Öystein Tjomsland and through the triumph passed six million crowns earned.
