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.
Nashorn tried its best to keep the lead but finally had to give in to Vaimo Ja Veitsi that came steaming ahead. When the startcar left the field Dancing Glitter started to galop and lost 30 m.
Nashorn saw it's chance when the leader lost tempo and took the lead.
The leader got disturbed by something and Vaimo Ja Veitsi took the lead rather easily.
