Trained by a retired after-school teacher, driven by a demolition worker, and loved by the general public.<\/strong><br><strong>- I've been dreaming about Elitloppet since we went home last year. This is something so few people get to experience,\" says Elisabeth Almheden.<\/strong><\/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\">The brothers A Fair Day and Maroon Day have delighted the trotting public for several years. Both are trained by the Kalmar amateur Elisabeth Almheden, whose favorites in the stable go by the nicknames \u201dAffe\u201d and \u201dRooney\u201d.<br>- \u201dAffe\u201d was the best all-Swedish team in Elitloppet last year with his fourth place. My opinion is that he has had a level increase to 2026 and his pink ticket feels obvious, says Solvalla's sports manager 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\">A Fair Day was fourth in the C Th Ericsson Memorial at Solvalla last weekend.<br>- He is the people's horse, and it is a joy to follow him - and his followers - around trotting Sweden. The following of \u201dAffe\u201d, trainer Elisabeth Almheden and driving friend Oscar Ginman grows with every start, Lern\u00e5 continues.<\/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\">A Fair Day will make its third appearance in Elitloppet and Elisabeth Almheden has been eagerly awaiting the invitation.<br>- It feels fantastic and I have to say that Elitloppet is an experience that you wish everyone could be a part of, just to be invited is a highlight in itself, says Elisabeth Almheden.<\/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\">The match schedule until the last weekend in May is set for A Fair Day.<br>- He took the race at Solvalla very well and has had to go to \u201dspa\u201d this week. We will start in Orebro Intn'l and then in Tingsryd, it is close to hand for us in Kalmar. I hope to have the horse in absolute top form for Elitloppet, says Elisabeth Almheden.<\/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\">The C Th Ericsson Memorial last weekend was also the premiere of the E-race series where the two highest scoring horses are rewarded with a Elitlopp place. The table for the E-races will be updated all the way to Elitloppet and A Fair Day will be moved out of the calculation as he has his place in Elitloppet secured.<\/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 - A Fair Day!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NFYkatCRM7w?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":5976,"template":"","which-event-invited-horses":[9],"class_list":["post-5977","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\/5977","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\/5976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"which-event-invited-horses","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elitloppet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/which-event-invited-horses?post=5977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
