The weather had been good all week and Halmstad was in good shape.
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 Handy Devil. Frozen Red ended up behind the leader. Walkshine Oxzygo got caught on the outside and were forced to take place as first in lane two. Wondering Whirlwind galloped for 60m and was disqualified.
