It was Norwegian trav365.no who came out on Saturday night with the news that on Thursday the cold-blooded phenomenon Järvsöfaks will be killed.
Something that horse trainer Jan-Olov Persson now confirms for SportExpressen.
– It’s for reasons of age. He will have a good life in the future, he says.
An official funeral will be held
Persson also says that an official funeral will be held later, which will be open to the public.
– They will incinerate him and then we will build a memorial grove in the pasture. There will be an official funeral later with an urn insertion. It will be open to the public when that day arrives.
How is Järvsöfaks feeling right now?
– He does not suffer in any way.
Drive for more than 21 million SEK
Järvsöfaks, who was trained and driven by Jan-Olov Persson throughout his career, has a completely unique racing career behind him.
When the cold-blooded star put the racing shoes on the shelf in 2009, the horse had won 201 races in 234 starts, run a total of SEK 21.2 million and set a world record that still stands today.
At Gävletravet 2005 he jogged 1.17.9a / 1640 meters. Something no cold-blooded person has been successful at since.
