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.
Loyal Rocker sprinted away from the competitors and took the lead.
The leader got disturbed by something and Holy Cheesus took the lead rather easily. Barefoot Moonlight suddenly made a bad step, started to galop and lost 40 m.
Nothing seemed to be able to stop Holy Cheesus today. It continued in the lead.
Holy Cheesus sat safely in the lead when they started the homestretch.
