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.
Cosmic Garden tried its best to keep the lead but finally had to give in to Punching Boulder that came steaming ahead.
The leader couldn't hold the lead and Honrubia sprinted to the front. Genivée was disturbed and galoped 20 m.
Punching Boulder took the lead after 1000m. Honrubia didn't have a good time being caught on the outside.
