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.
King Of Expectation took the lead after a very quick start. Jonny Stjernström wanted a little to much in the start and Wisselloper galoped for 50 m.
The field stabalized after the bend and the speed was reduced. Wisselloper was disturbed and galoped 40 m.
