Kuninkuusravit 100th Anniversary

The Kuninkuusravit horse race, which will be held for the 100th time next July and hosted in Jyväskylä, is the highlight of the Finnish horse racing summer. To celebrate the anniversary, Posti will publish stamps designed by Stiina Hovi, featuring the three-time winner Evartti and race queens Lumi-Oosa and Suven Sametti, accompanied by Sirpsakka, who made her debut in the 2023 Queen’s Race.

“Every year, the Kuninkuusravit race brings together tens of thousands of horse racing and horse enthusiasts in one place. It’s a unique event even on a global scale. The Kuninkuusravit race is a celebration of our domestic horse breed, the Finnhorse. Having been to the Kuninkuusravit race multiple times, it strikes me every time how the horses can move people and give them experiences in so many different ways,” says Stiina Hovi.

The Kuninkuusravit 100th anniversary stamp sheet’s ten stamps contain two different domestic no-value indicator stamp designs.
