One after another the horses came out on the track for the obigatory parade. After some warmup the horses lined up behind the car as it began to move down the track.
Dark Orbit found a gap and took the lead. Confident Band followed before Daernwing Cherry. Erik Adielsson wanted a little to much in the start and Ginger Winter galoped for 40 m.
The leader couldn't hold the lead and Blushing Garden sprinted to the front.
