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.
Many drivers had set there mind on a front position this day. Fastest of them all were Gold Evian. Blue Falcon ended up behind the leader. Prima Rhapsody got caught on the outside and were forced to take place as first in lane two. When the startcar left the field Gold Crystal started to galop and lost 50 m. Hoping Map was to tense at the start and galloped for 20 m.
