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.
Rolling Nugget tried its best to keep the lead but finally had to give in to Rotorhead that came steaming ahead. Ginger Pie showed unexperience when he was disqualified for galloping. Charmed Gal was to tense at the start and galloped for 40 m.
The leader couldn't hold the lead and Lying Lipstick sprinted to the front. Perrot showed unexperience when he was disqualified for galoping.
Lying Lipstick was in great shape so far and looked happy in the lead.
