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.
Thrillville Man was looking particularly good and could easily take the lead.
There were no mayor changes in the field at the 500m mark. A bird flew just in front of Woho Yeah who started to galop and lost 50 m.
Thrillville Man was in great shape so far and looked happy in the lead.
