The first horse to get an invitation to this year’s Elitlopp after winning the big French Was successful as a young horse but also a bit up and down due to injury. Showed last race Criterium de Vitesse. Is a six year old who has been competing against season that he belongs to the top when he lives up to his capacity. Earned 2.3 million international top horses during his whole career. Is trained by Björn Goop since the SEK that year and scored his biggest win in H.K.H. Prins Daniel’s race on Gävle. Was latest run but needed that one after a layoff. Has been able to adapt to the new poorly drawn in last year’s Elitlopp and never got a chance. Is back in good May form Swedish circumstances and should be improved. Has got a perfect number which is again and has got a much better number this time. Typical outsider. The short distance worth a lot in this wide open Elitloppet 2020. Björn Goop is a top driver in big races. and fast pace suit this somewhat fiery horse. Per Linderoth makes his debut as a driver in a big race like this.

Has been competing a bit under the radar but was second in Lotteria race last year Has been very consistent and good for Daniel Redén since he came to . and showed that he is a top sprinter. He has been outstanding in the Golden Division Has been at least third so far. He won a race during this weekend last year and this winter and scored five wins and been the best horse in Sweden. Got an invitation scored his biggest victory then in Fyraåringseliten. As a five year old he has to prove to Elitloppet already last year but is certainly better now after meeting tough his skills against the elite. He has scored two wins so far this year and this speedy opponents. He can open extremely fast which makes him a nice outsider here. Carl horse seems to have improved a lot. Will get his baptism of fire in Elitloppet which is Johan Jepson is also getting more and more successful as a driver. very interesting. Johan Untersteiner is a top driver.
