Norwegian coach Öystein Tjomsland was impressed by Kunikuusravs.
Killer’s Kuninkuusravi main races on Saturday started with the favorites.
When the reigning trotting king Parvelan Retu had to withdraw from the royal shield due to a leg problem, it was expected to be a duel between VG Voito and Evart. Expectations were fulfilled on the opening trip.
However, the favorites did not run side by side, but Evart got to the front Santtu Raitala laid VG in front of him with the approval of Voito. In the end, there was no chance for a fight, but the tactics were thought out.
– In my opinion, we got a start that served the whole quite well, Raitala acknowledged after the run.
After getting the keys Ari Moilanen concentrated VG Voito on the stroller to keep Evart behind him in the bag. The result was a controlled victory with all the strength in reserve, but on the other hand, not much happened to Evartt, who followed in second place. The results of the overall race are decided based on the combined time of the three trips.
– Evart could not be given space. It is so fast that even Voitto could have been excited to shoot, Moilanen justified his tactics.
Issakan Valo had his best run of the summer and finished third alongside the leader. Mainio was also Veeran Poika, who finished fourth.
On the opening leg of the Queen’s Kilpa Harri Kotilainen Lumi-Oosa was required to make a strong initial acceleration in order to get a place in the front, but they saved their energy for the end. The reigning trotting queen probably responded well to Vennelmon Varma, Suven Samet and Annan, who were very keen.
– This weekend has been aimed at for a long time. We will try to defend the wreath to the last, Kotilainen promised.
