Is it a risk to invite him already now?<br>- I had no demands whatsoever on his performance in his debut, but simply want to give the circle around the horse peace, quiet and security in the build-up to Elitloppet. This is one of the horses that was at the top of my list and I think he looked good in his comeback, says Ola Lern\u00e5.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-block content-block--core content-block--paragraph\"><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inexess Bleu is ridden by Alexandre Abrivard and trained by his father Laurent Claude. The victory in the UET Elite Circuit was the biggest victory for both Alexandre and Inexess Bleu. As a gelding, eight-year-old Inexess Bleu has been excluded from the really moneyed races in France.<br>- He hasn't had a single race to compete in all winter, but he's been working well and was quite well prepared for today's race without being close to top form. We will give him two more races before we go to Solvalla. We are really grateful for the invitation,\" says Laurent Claude Abrivard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-block content-block--core content-block--paragraph\"><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laurent Claude Abrivard also trains last year's winner of the Harper Hanoverian Race, the top mare Inmarosa.<br>- She has a scheduled start in early April and the idea right now is to defend the title in the Harper Hanover Race,\" says Laurent Claude Abrivard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-fsb-flexible-spacer fsb-flexible-spacer\"><div class=\"fsb-flexible-spacer__device fsb-flexible-spacer__device--lg\" style=\"height:15px\"><\/div><div class=\"fsb-flexible-spacer__device fsb-flexible-spacer__device--md\" style=\"height:15px\"><\/div><div class=\"fsb-flexible-spacer__device fsb-flexible-spacer__device--sm\" style=\"height:15px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-block content-block--core content-block--embed\"><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Welcome to Elitloppet 2026 - Inexess Bleu! \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/okAnSi3Qv1U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":5720,"template":"","which-event-invited-horses":[9],"class_list":["post-5717","invited-horses","type-invited-horses","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","which-event-invited-horses-elitloppet"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invited-horses\/5717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invited-horses"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/invited-horses"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"which-event-invited-horses","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/which-event-invited-horses?post=5717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
