The Swedish crowd favorite and a Norwegian debutant are invited to Elitkampen.
<\/strong>M\u00e5nlykke A.M. and S\u00f6ndre Jerkeld will come to Solvalla on the last Sunday in May.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Odd Herakles, Stallone and Stj\u00e4rnblomster are already part of Elitkampen 2022 and today two more participants were announced with M\u00e5nlykke A.M. and S\u00f6ndre Jerkeld. The sixth horse to be invited coming from Finland will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n

Moonlighting A.M.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gunnar Melander's cold-blooded star M\u00e5nlykke A.M. will be one of the big attractions during the Elitlopp weekend. The eight-year-old, who has taken over the cold-blooded throne in Sweden after his father M\u00e5nprinsen A.M., has won the Swedish Championship both in 2020 and 2021 in superior style and now the elite race audience will see him for the first time in Elitkampen. In three starts this year, he is undefeated and comes from an easy victory in V\u00e5rbj\u00f6rken at Um\u00e5ker.<\/p>\n

- M\u00e5nlykke A.M. is a fantastic cold blood and a real attraction in Elitkampen. Together with Gunnar Melander, the team has a lot of fans who are keeping their fingers crossed,\" says Solvalla's sports manager Anders Malmrot.<\/p>\n

S\u00f6ndre Jerkeld finished third in the Unionskampen at F\u00e4rjestadstravet last year, which is his only start on Swedish soil so far. The Swedish debut was made shortly after the thirteen-year-old took his biggest win in his career at home in Norway, when S\u00f6ndre Jerkeld won the Norwegian Championship 2021 at S\u00f6rlandets Travpark at the end of July.<\/p>\n
