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 leader couldn't hold the lead and Rolling Mistress sprinted to the front.
No one seem keen on putting pressure on the leader so he could keep his own tempo. Monneratte Cherry suddenly made a bad step, started to galop and lost 20 m.
Ton Nom J. accelerated after 1500m and took the lead.
