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.
Max The Fox tried its best to keep the lead but finally had to give in to Thrillville Shy that came steaming ahead. When the startcar left the field Baccarat Crisp Cherry started to galop and lost 50 m.
There were no mayor changes in the field at the 500m mark.
