The weather had been good all week and Gävle 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.
Say Again Eleven was in great shape so far and looked happy in the lead.
Windy Raspberry accelerated after 1500m and took the lead. Something caused a disturbance in the field and Shining Closet gallopped for 10 m. Millie started to gallop after 1500m and Jenni H Åsberg had to struggle to get it back in trotting.
Windy Raspberry kept a high tempo and was first in on the homestretch.
