And it is, if not a bombshell, then at least a bang that the last horse in this year's Elitloppet is Luke the Spook.

- Luke the Spook has been good, but it still doesn't feel like we've seen his full range. Kolgjinis is also an x-factor that is extra fond of Elitloppet and Solvalla, I am genuinely happy that they have a horse next Sunday, says Solvalla's sports manager Ola Lernå.

Luke the Spook raced just below the elite in the US, but won the Liberty Bell and Kentucky Sire Stakes and came to Europe with over a million dollars earned and a 1.09,2 record.

With Adrian Kolgjini, the horse has shown great resources and was second in the King's Cup and fourth in the Sprinter's Cup last year. He has shown further development as a five-year-old and on Saturday was stuck in HRH Prince Daniel's race.
- Isn't he the most exciting horse to take the last place in the Elitloppet? He is developing rapidly and is not behind anyone else in terms of capacity," says Adrian Kolgjini.

Who, through the TV series Hela Vägen this spring, has taken a seat on the TV sofas outside the world of trotting.
- This feels so damn good! I am so happy! I think it's been a bit of a mess this spring and it didn't really go our way last Saturday either. But the horse is so worth this ticket, says Adrian Kolgjini.
