The players just had time to make their last bets before the start. All horses seemed to be in good shape this day.
Falling Diamond could eventually take the lead after a very dramatic start. Talladega Five suddenly started to galop. Björn Steinseth had to struggle to get Talladega Five to tror again and succeded after 40 m. Pampered Starlight was to eager when the car accellerated, galopped and was disqualified.
No one seem keen on putting pressure on the leader so he could keep his own tempo.
The Thinker looked to be in good shape this day and took the lead after 1500m. Something caused a disturbance in the field and Cheerful Runner gallopped for 40 m. Dead
Stone started to gallop after 1500m and Odd Arne Sagholen had to struggle to get it back in trotting.
The Thinker looked like a million bucks when we commenced the homestretch.
