The spread of the new coronavirus has led to laws, regulations and directives that have resulted in Solvalla and other Swedish trotting tracks completely closing down their spectator facilities since March 12. In addition to this, a number of restrictions have been introduced around the stables. The racecourses are today a strict workplace where only people who perform a job have access.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Det blir ett nytt f\u00f6rs\u00f6k i Elitloppet &#8211; n\u00e4rmare best\u00e4mt det femte i ordningen.
