Olympiatravet

The Olympic Trot is a collaboration between ATG and the Swedish Olympic Committee and has been arranged since 1979. The Olympic Trot is a win-win concept for both parties and manifests the affinity between horse racing and other sports.

The Swedish Olympic and Paralympic athletes have so far received a total of 185 million SEK which has generated 254 medals.

The Olympic Trot consists of three trials and one final where the two first horses from each trial are qualified to start in the final. Two wildcards will be invited and they are decided on by ATG, ST and Åby together. The winner from last year is qualified directly to take part in the final, which means that Copper Beech, who won last year, will be invited for this year's final. In addition, the horse who wins the Gold division race at Solvalla on Saturday April 9th gets the opportunity to start in the final at Åby racetrack.

The race is carried out over 2140 meters auto start and the first price is 1.500.000 SEK!
