The first horse is ready for the last Sunday in May.
The advance favorite for many trot lovers is the first to get a pink ticket.
- It feels incredibly fun to welcome Ecurie D. to Solvalla, says sports manager Anders Malmrot.
Ecurie D. started his racing career with eleven straight victories and has been a horse on many people's lips since his racing debut. He finished the three-year-old season as undefeated where the big highlights were the victory in the Big Noon Cup at Solvalla and the victory in the European Championships for three-year-olds at Vermo trotting track - where the latter victory was taken despite a real start gallop.
As a four-year-old last year, he charmed many when he won the Four-Year-Old Elite at Solvalla in a very fast 1.09,2 over the short distance and took home the first prize of SEK 500,000.
Ahead of this year's season, he has been one of the horses most talked about for Elitloppet 2021 and on Wednesday evening he therefore made a very interesting annual debut.
A debut of the year that ended in the best possible way with victory where he easily slipped away to the end in Dartster F's race at Solvalla, and afterwards Solvalla's sports manager Anders Malmrot chose to pick up the pink ticket.
Thus, the very first horse is now ready for Elitloppet 2021.
- He is a fantastic horse with extraordinary charisma that will be very exciting to see in Elitloppet, says Anders Malmrot.
