The situation as of 10 November 2026: On Saturday 14 November, V85 is being run at the Eskilstuna racecourse with 50 million kronor in jackpots and Breeders' Crown finals. Trav365 reproduces Sportbladets Tidiga V85-tidning pick, with 4 Chamberi as the first tip, while Sulkysport describes the round as unusually easy.

V85 on Saturday – 50 million in the jackpot

V85 is a betting format with 8 races on Saturdays. Sulkysport writes that V85 from Sundbyholm with the Breeders' Crown finals is the second-to-last round with 8 races on the national Saturday coupon, and that it looks unusually easy when there is a double jackpot for the second week in a row.

V85 takes place at Eskilstuna on Saturday 14 November, according to Trav365. The newspaper states that 50 million kronor is in the jackpot and that betting closes at 15.00. Trav365 also reproduces Sportbladet's Early V85 tip, which is built around a system with 2 picks; a pick is a horse that the bettor chooses as the only horse in a race. The first pick is Timo Nurmos' 4 Chamberi (V85-2): “I think she is simply the best,” according to the tip. Trav365

V86 on Wednesday – two picks

V86 is another betting format. On Wednesday 11 November, V86 will be run at Åby and Solvalla, with betting closing at 20.30, according to Trav365. The newspaper reproduces Sportbladet’s early V86 tip, which favours two picks: 5 Aberama Gold (V86-1) and 7 Vanita (V86-6). The tip says of Aberama Gold that he got to claim a long-awaited victory last time and that this time he will ”work his way to the lead”. Trav365

V75 returns on 28 November – new system

V75 is making a comeback. On 28 November, V75 will have its new premiere when the V85 game is put aside, according to Sulkysport, and according to Trav365, the premiere will take place at Solvalla. Trav365 writes that any jackpots on V85 on Saturdays 14 and 21 November will be set aside and added to the four-rights pot in the premiere round. Previously set-aside funds from V85, 6 116 697 kronor, will be added to the funding for V75. On 19 and 26 December, any jackpots will carry over to the WinterBurst final on Thursday 31 December at Axevalla; if there is a jackpot in the final round on New Year's Eve, the money will carry over to V75 on Saturday 9 January 2027.

Sulkysport writes that Svensk Travsport presented a new competition system: more races for horses with low starting scores and smaller prize money in the pot, while the elite will compete for larger prize amounts against the very best. Sulkysport

Result: Readly Express and Baron Wania

Sulkysport writes that Readly Express won twelve races last week and thereby took the lead in terms of wins on Swedish betting. The lead is now twelve wins ahead of Maharajah. Sulkysport

Sulkysport also writes that three-year-old Baron Wania won his second consecutive race on Swedish betting on Sunday. According to the newspaper, his dam Random Destiny is among the broodmares whose offspring tend to hear a little extra about themselves. Sulkysport
