[7] As a gelding, he was ineligible to enter major French events like Prix d'Amérique, that are open only for stallions and mares.

[6][10] The new owners, Stall Kalas (English: approximately "Party Stables"), who paid SEK3,500,000 (ca US$420,000 at the time) for the gelding, engaged Stig H. Johansson as new trainer of the horse.

Together with Torbjörn Jansson, who was hired as a stand-in driver since Johansson was suspended, Victory Tilly won on the new Swedish record 1:11.8 (km rate, European style of keeping time).

[10] The biggest win of the year was in the Swedish Trotting Derby, Svenskt Travderby, the richest and most prestigious event for 4-year-olds in Sweden.

[17] Later in the autumn, Victory Tilly won another major race, the Swedish Breeders Crown for 4-year-old stallions and geldings.

[12][18] In the first year competing against the domestic and foreign aged elite, Victory Tilly claimed many of Sweden's major events.

Two weeks later, in Elitloppet at their home track Solvalla, Johansson and Victory Tilly faced foreign stars like Italian Varenne and French Général du Pommeau, the reigning Prix d'Amérique champion.

Victory Tilly defeated his French opponent, and driver/trainer Johansson threw his whip into the air out of joy as the finish line was crossed and many of the 32,000 attending celebrated.

[20] Victory Tilly's 1:53.2 (1:10.5 km rate) mark was a new all-age world record for geldings trotting on a five-eighths of a mile track.

[5] In May, Victory Tilly and Johansson failed to repeat the previous year's successes in both Oslo Grand Prix and Elitloppet.

In October, Victory Tilly competed outside Scandinavia for the first time, when he won Gran Premio Gaetano Turilli at Tor di Valle, Rome.

The gelding returned to Italy a few weeks later to win Gran Premio delle Nazioni at San Siro, Milan.

[12] At this occasion, Victory Tilly was accompanied by old acquaintance Torbjörn Jansson, since Stig H. Johansson was unavailable due to vacation.

[12] Even though they were not certain the gelding would make it in time to race in the Breeders Crown at Meadowlands, Victory Tilly's connections paid the US$80,000 required to enter the event.

Fool's Goal won the US$1 million event and Victory Tilly came in fourth, beaten by Plesac and Danish Delight as well.

[31] The record was a valid mark for all trotters until Tom Ridge, guided by driver Ron Pierce, broke it in September 2004 by winning the World Trotting Derby in 1:50.2.

[33] Back in Sweden, Victory Tilly claimed Sundsvall Open Trot at Bergsåker for a third consecutive time.

He won Åby Stora Pris and Frances Bulwark's Race at Solvalla before going to Italy to defend his title in Gran Premio delle Nazioni at San Siro, Milan.

[12] After a successful fight for the front position with Legendary Lover K., the Swedish gelding could not be caught, and the winner's purse, consisting of US$230,000, was Victory Tilly's.

[37] Three weeks later, Victory Tilly and his connections were in place at Solvalla Racetrack, Stockholm, to make a fourth effort to win Elitloppet.

[39] There was a plan to again travel over the Atlantic to face North America's top trotters in July and August,[40] but the trip was cancelled.

Part of Victory Tilly's medical treatment was to keep him in good shape without stressing his injured leg.

[12][51] Victory Tilly's final year on the track started with a couple of smaller domestic races.

[12] Together with new driver Erik Adielsson (Johansson had quit driving in the end of 2005[52]), the star won in a comfortable way after favourite Steinlager went off-stride.

When Stig H. Johansson in the summer of 2005 turned 60, Stall Kalas gave him Victory Tilly once the horse had retired.

[60] During his racing career, Quick Pay claimed the Kentucky Futurity and finished second in the Yonkers Trot.
