The pre-race favourite for the Harper Hanover's race during the Elite Race Weekend – the French horse Ibiki de Houelle – will not start at Solvalla.

The horse was too stressed when it was supposed to board the plane, writes Sulkysport.

The trotting site writes that the veterinarian could not give the green light for the flight as the horse's safety could not be guaranteed. The other horses could also get stressed during the flight, the veterinarian thought.

Harper Hanover's race takes place on Saturday.
