This year it is the third time around. Honorable losses are not liked by the circle around Borups Victory. Who is the ninth horse to be invited to Elitloppet 2026.

- Borups Victory has shown time and time again that he belongs to the world elite and it is a completely complete horse that has won big races from the front, from behind and by doing the job himself. He has his obvious place on the last Sunday in May, says Solvalla's sports manager Ola Lernå.

Borups Victory makes its third straight appearance in Elitloppet.
- He is now eight years old, but he is incredibly good. I want to do my utmost as a trainer to have him in absolute top condition for Elitloppet. The plan is therefore not to make any start before, reveals Daniel Wäjersten.

Borups Victory made three attempts in France last winter and qualified for the Prix d'Amérique, but went out of shape and missed the start. His track record is otherwise modest with second place in Elitloppet 2024, victory in Hugo Åberg's Memorial the same year and the win in the Paralympic race last year. In the minicomeback on Saturday, he sprinted home Seinäjoki Race.
- The owners of Borups Victory have been clear; going all out for Elitloppet is a top priority, Wäjersten explains.
