The sky was free of clouds and the sun was shining at Solvalla this day.
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.
Many drivers had set there mind on a front position this day. Fastest of them all were Swedish Pagan. Livets Rytm ended up behind the leader. Tough Power got caught on the outside and were forced to take place as first in lane two.
With only a little left of the race Lonely Fox galoped for 40 m. Swedish Pagan looked tired after 1000m but had to keep up the tempo so that Tough Power couldn't come out from behind the leader, Tender Titan.
Jorma Kontio tried a little too much on the homestretch and Walking Puma started to galopp and lost 10 m.
Tough Power sprinted away from the rest of the field and won quite easy.
