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.
Behage sprinted away from the competitors and took the lead. Flemming On Fire was to tense at the start and galloped for 20 m.
Nothing seemed to be able to stop Italian Stallion Are Never Desolate today. It continued in the lead. Xpander started to gallop after 1500m and Ronny Widerström had to struggle to get it back in trotting.
