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 Royal Fizz. Cd Gates Of Dawn ended up behind the leader. Criminal Cloud got caught on the outside and were forced to take place as first in lane two.
Bank Holiday saw it's chance when the leader lost tempo and took the lead.
Bank Holiday was in great shape so far and looked happy in the lead.
