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.
Travelling Rhapsody was looking particularly good and could easily take the lead.
Outspoken Puma sprinted past the competitors and took over the lead. Bonjour Lundi was disturbed and galoped 30 m.
Nothing seemed to be able to stop Outspoken Puma today. It continued in the lead. Waving Ruby started to gallop after 1500m and Eirik Høitomt had to struggle to get it back in trotting. Goofy Cake galloped for 10 m.
Outspoken Puma sat safely in the lead when they started the homestretch.
