Jägersro hosts a weekend of dual V85 fixtures on September 5 and September 6, 2026, highlighted by a major scheduling shift that moves standard start times to 15:00. The schedule change introduces a one-hour TV4 highlights program and compresses the race card ahead of the annual Derby.
The Jägersro Derby Weekend Schedule Shift
A significant scheduling change marks the full-scale Jägersro weekend featuring dual V85 fixtures on Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, 2026. Rather than the traditional 16:20 start time that typically carried race cards into the 19:00 hour on Saturday evenings, Saturday’s ordinary V85 fixture gets underway at 15:00.
That earlier start shifts the entire afternoon forward. The final V85 resolution concludes shortly after 17:30, a modification designed to give participants and fans time for evening weekend festivities.
Television Coverage Adjustments on TV4 and TV12
The adjusted start time alters broadcast formats across Swedish television networks. The schedule shift allows TV4 to revive the classic Winner format, delivering a one-hour broadcast summary of the day’s racing action.
Viewers seeking live coverage retain full access. TV 12 broadcasts the entire fixture live across a five-hour window on Saturday afternoon, delivering a concentrated format with reduced downtime between events.
Sven Kuce Shifts to Bronsdivisionen After Derby Gallop
The weekend lineup lost one of its anticipated main-event contenders when Sven Kuce broke into a galopp during the Derby qualifiers. Despite showing elite speed during the miscue, the misstep eliminated the favored contender from Sunday’s main Derby fixture.
Instead of competing in the premier Sunday event, Sven Kuce enters the Bronsdivisionsförsök in the first division on Saturday at 15:00, seeking a measure of redemption.
