Ringostarr Treb, trained by former Chuck Sylvester assistant Jerry Riordan, won both his elimination and the final of the Elitloppet today at Solvalla Racecourse in Sweden.  The time for the final was 1:51 flat. Pastore Bob (Johan Untersteiner) led from post seven in the final, with Ringostarr Treb (Wilhelm Paal) tracking from the two-hole.  Paal brought Ringostarr Treb to the outside near three-quarters, took the lead in the stretch, and then held off a closing Propulsion (Örjan Kihlström), who had a traffic-plagued trip from mid-pack.  Nadal Broline (Ulf Ohlsson) finished in the fourth position. "The first time I was ever on an airplane was with a horse that raced in this race, so yeah it's a big thing," reflected Riordan.  "I never thought this would be the horse.  They dropped him off in my barn; it was kind of strange circumstances.  Then I saw this little guy in my barn, and I thought this isn't the horse I thought he was.  This is the most beautiful little horse.  He's little but he'll fight anybody. "It was looking good.  He left hard, which always takes a little out of you, and then was going to have to come first-up against Pastore Bob, and this Pastore Bob, he's been a big surprise today.  He's a really, really tough horse and he flew off the gate.  First-over is always first-over, and there were good horses sitting behind him.  He had to do with speed and courage, and he's got plenty of both." Ringostarr Treb is an 8-year-old by Classic Photo and is owned by Italian group E.V.A.M.Racing Trotter SRLS.  This was his 31st career victory. While Ringostarr Treb was the star of the day, the first elimination, won by Lionel (Göran Antonsen), was marred by the elimination of pre-race favorite Bold Eagle (Franck Nivard).  There were several recalls and a false start, with Bold Eagle becoming increasingly animated on the track after each one, and once the race actually got going, Bold Eagle would break stride going into the first turn of the race, suffering the first disqualification of his career. Owner Pierre Pilarski told the Swedish media that his star would not return to Solvalla again, and driver/trainer Lutfi Kolgjini (Rajesh Face) expressed displeasure with the way the false start was handled.
