The finish in Finland last time was absolutely Elitlopp class. He is beautiful as a painting and when the circle around the horse also spices up the participation with one of the world's best drivers, the choice was easy, 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\">Gio Cash started his racing career with Dion Tesselar, but Daniel W\u00e4jersten took over the training in winter 2024-2025. And Gio Cash has taken the step into the world elite. Last year, the horse won Norrbotten's Grand Prix, ran 1.08.5 when he defeated Don Fanucci Zet in \u00c5rj\u00e4ng and was stuck behind Lexus Kody in the \u201dWorld Cup race\u201d at Yonkers.<br>- I have had Elitloppet in sight with Gio Cash for a very long time and it feels good that we are there, even if it has not worked out perfectly for him in the last two starts. I am completely serious when I say that I believe that Gio Cash is a horse that can win Elitloppet with the slightest flap, says Daniel W\u00e4jersten.<\/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 driver selection is slightly different as four-time US Driver of the Year, superstar Dexter Dunn flies across the Atlantic to take the reins behind Gio Cash.<br>- The owners of Gio Cash like Dexter Dunn and when they solved it themselves, I have absolutely nothing against it, says Daniel who thus also decided that he runs Borups Victory in Elitloppet. Borups Victory practiced for Elitloppet by winning Meadow Roads Lopp at Solvalla last Wednesday.<\/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\">- It was absolutely perfect in the build-up to Elitloppet.
