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.
Silver Body was looking particularly good and could easily take the lead. When the startcar left the field Criminal Gambler started to galop and lost 30 m.
There were no mayor changes in the field at the 500m mark.
Calming Band took the lead after 1000m. Screaming Cube didn't have a good time being caught on the outside.
