The weather had been good all week and Rättvik was in good shape.
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.
Light Cocktail was looking particularly good and could easily take the lead.
With only a little left of the race Van Nistelrooy The Man galoped for 50 m. Light Cocktail litterally flew through the last bend and was first on the homestretch.
