V86®: Shoes and regular sulky in the Elitlopp prep for Borups Victory – "We want the maximum effect in the Elitlopp"

Borups Victory is already qualified for the Elitloppet for the third year in a row and won the Finnish major race in Seinäjoki in his seasonal debut with ease.
On Wednesday he makes his final prep at Solvalla in the Meadow Roads race, also the fifth “E-race”.
"He was good when he won last time but the track was poor and his hooves got a bit worn when he raced barefoot. That’s why we will put shoes on all four feet now and we will also use a regular sulky. This is to get maximum effect when he races barefoot and in a bike in the Elitloppet," says Oskar Florhed, assistant trainer in the Wäjersten stable.
