The players just had time to make their last bets before the start. All horses seemed to be in good shape this day.
Opinion Publique was looking particularly good and could easily take the lead. Cavaliere Di Roma was to tense at the start and galloped for 10 m.
Frozen Lieutenant saw it's chance when the leader lost tempo and took the lead. Frozen Lieutenant started to galop after 500 m and was nearly disqualified.
