With just a week to the Elite race starts to get hurt of places.
The winner of V75-6 today at Gävle racetrack qualified directly – and it was a truly impressive effort Mosaique Face accounted for.
– The joy is immense, says horse trainer and driver Lutfi Kolgjini.
Shortly after this came Klaus Koch with the news – even Bret Boko Royal Fighter and Vincennes are ready for the Elite race.
Tip and the end – it was the victory song today at Gävle racetrack.
The V75-6, where the winner would be directly qualified for the Elite race, took Lutfi Kolgjini to the tried and tested tactic.
Mosaique Face held the lead from his inner track – and then it was never exciting.
In the last turn eased Kolgjini on the reins, and the horse responded by sprinting away from the light bones.
A segerrusig Kolgjini made the gesture of victory, and then said to TV12:
– The joy is immense. It is this kind of horse that you do not get fail, for he is so important for the stable.
Two invitations to the right after
Right after the last leg of V75 came the shocking news – two the seats would be distributed immediately.
In the live broadcast revealed Klaus Koch that both Royal Fighter (who has a girl in the bike, Jennifer Tillman) and Finnish horse Bret Boko is ready for the big race next weekend.
– A Finnish representative. The victory at Finlandia-Ajo was surprising. He was something enormously popular, I was almost moved by the popularity he received the winner’s circle. He will get a lot of great support from all Finns at Solvalla, commented Klaus Koch invitation current Bret Boko in TV12.
After Wednesday evening’s super effort by the Royal Fighter voices were raised that the horse should receive an invitation – and that Jennifer Tillman thus would become the first woman to run the Elite race since 1996, when Helen Ann Johansson attended.
Right after the V75 became therefore a fact, and Klaus Koch says the invitation as follows:
– The feels incredibly fun. Gets excited, he is a quick starter.
Was the horse in mind before Wednesday’s effort?
– No, he did not. It was a shock, I was a little surprised that the horse takes the step up from a little lower gold vision to the world elite.
– Jennifer Tillman knew nothing of the bow now – welcome to the Elitlopp!
Yet another invitation an hour later – Vincennes clear
Another hour after Mosaique Face, Royal Fighter and Bret Boko became clear that retweetade Vincennes coach Fabrice Souloy the following on Twitter:
“Cap sur Solvalla et l élitloppet pour Vincennes !!!!! Le Reve “
Solvalla Sports Director Marksu Myron confirmed the first invitation, but said he did not know if everything was quite clear:
– It is true that Vincennes is invited. But I do not know if they said yes yet. Klaus manages the contact with Fabrice
When Sportexpressen then reaches Klaus Koch, so he confirms that Vincennes is complete.
– That’s right. I have received the go-ahead, she is with the Elite race.
“It’s absolutely fantastic”
Right after phoned TV12 up Jennifer Tillman, who was of course very happy about the decision.
– It is absolutely amazing, so cool.
Everything seems well with the horse, greets a positive Tillman:
– Most happy where I almost still morning when I got a phone call that he almost felt better this morning when he was out jogging, than before the last race.
Regarding her to be the first girl in the long run Elitlopp – and third ever – she says
– Where the really about time that it got a to girl.
Can you even win Elitlopp?
– I am, after all, the first girl to win then, she laughs out.
“All doubt – but not me”
Winning time for Mosaique Face was written to totally unprecedented 1,09.0 over the short distance. When Per Skoglund after the race talking with Kolgjini himself he explains that the road has not been plain sailing for Mosaique Face.
– There’s been a bit tough with this horse, to get to him. Not so serious stuff, but still tough stuff to get the horse in the form.
Have you been close to giving up?
– No, I give Never. I’m not the type.
– Any doubts but I have not doubted the horse, nor in my own expertise.
Hard training has laid the foundation for this:
– I had to train him tougher than ever to get him in shape.
– The joy is immense
Congratulations and welcome to the Elitlopp
– Thank you very much, concludes Kolgjini.
A pair of late cancellations
With less than two weeks left to this year’s Elitlopp got some late cancellations.
Sportexpressen could on Friday reveal that Digital Ink does not start.
It was after a training job with coach Stefan Melander news came.
– I was happy with him in the job, he felt good. But – he was not right in the heart rate.
Although the French horse Aladin D’Ecajuel was ready for the big race at Solvalla. After a less good bet that sent the horse on veterinary examination – which it turned out that he was sick.
