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.
The Beast tried its best to keep the lead but finally had to give in to Doiruleorwhat that came steaming ahead. When the startcar left the field Jumping Scope started to galop and lost 20 m.
The leader got disturbed by something and Doiruleorwhat took the lead rather easily.
Nothing seemed to be able to stop Doiruleorwhat today. It continued in the lead. Herr Boll started to gallop after 1500m and Jorma Kontio had to struggle to get it back in trotting.
