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.
Snowy Stone tried its best to keep the lead but finally had to give in to Carlos Calvados that came steaming ahead. Snowy Stone suddenly started to galop. Anders L Lundin had to struggle to get Snowy Stone to tror again and succeded after 40 m.
The leader couldn't hold the lead and Grasping Fall sprinted to the front.
Grasping Fall was in great shape so far and looked happy in the lead.
