Finland's biggest horse race event, the Finnhorse Championships, is held in Oulu 24th-25th of July. Arrangers wish to make the event known in Sweden and perhaps get more Swedish people to join the greatest cold-blooded moment of the year in Finland.

That's why Oulu is sponsoring Elitkampen, so this cold-blooded elite race goes by the name "Kungstravet Uleåborg Elitkampen" (Finnhorse Championships Oulu Elite Battle) 2010.

- We are looking forward to make Swedish and Norwegian horsepeople interested of Finnhorse Championships. Timing is perfect for the Swedish Finns who are planning their holidays for the end of July, says Paavo Koivurova from Oulu race track in Pohjolan Sanomat newspaper.

The races of Trotting King and Queen are open only for finnhorses, but there are many other races in the weekend that are open for Swedish and Norwegian cold-blooded horses also.
