Follow the action live from Solvalla on HPIbet

The party is on at Solvalla, Sweeden not as it used to be with thousands and thousands of harness racing fans in the stands, but this year with just a limited number.

HPIbet will offer the Elitlopp card from Solvalla in Sweden this Sunday.  You can follow the action live from Solvalla and bet on Elitlopp at this link: www.hpibet.com.

Elitlopp heats will take place in races 6 (9:30 a.m.) and 7 (10:00 a.m.). The final will take place in race 12 has a post time of 12:10 pm.

Jeff Snyder is well known for his accomplishments as the owner of pacers, with Horse of the Year award winners in both the U.S. (Cam’s Card Shark and Rocknroll Hanover) and Canada (Michael’s Power) not to mention holding or sharing the records for victories in the North America Cup, Meadowlands Pace, and Little Brown Jug.

Snyder will try to add one of the world’s great trotting races, the Elitlopp, to his résumé when Aetos Kronos competes in Sunday’s invitational event at Solvalla Racetrack in Stockholm, Sweden.

Aetos Kronos, a 5-year-old son of French stallion Bold Eagle out of U.S.-born mare Will Of A Woman, is trained by New England native turned Sweden-based conditioner Jerry Riordan. He races in the first of two eight-horse Elitlopp eliminations, starting from post four with driver Magnus Djuse. The top four from each elim return later in the day for the final.

“The horse is doing well and we’re looking forward to the race and seeing what happens,” Snyder said. “It looks like it will be a wide-open race. Just being in it, we’re very happy. It’s just too bad we can’t be over there. It’s such a great race, such a spectacle normally, and we were looking forward to getting over there.”

For his career, Aetos Kronos has won 13 of 32 races, hit the board a total of 24 times, and earned the U.S. equivalent of $1.07 million. He has captured a handful of Group 1 races in Sweden and is owned by Team Snyder (Jeff and son Michael) and Aetos Dios AB. He will represent the U.S. in the Elitlopp.
