Origin

edit

In 1977, Solvalla's 50th Anniversary was celebrated. To commemorate this, the new event Jubileumspokalen was inaugurated.[4]

Racing conditions

edit

Since the start in 1977, Jubileumspokalen has been almost exclusively over 2,140 meters (1.33 mile). In the years 1980-1982 however, the race was shorter, 1,640-1,660 meters (1.02-1.03 mile). Auto start has been used every year, with the exception of 1981, when volt start was used.[5]

In January 2009 it was announced that Jubileumspokalen would be somewhat reformed. The 2009 edition will be the first Jubileumspokalen that is open only for 5-year-olds.[1] Prior to 2009, the race was open for horses of age three and up.[2]
