The sun was shining and the birds was singing on Axevalla today.
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.
Queen Of Québec could eventually take the lead after a very dramatic start. Dohnat was to tense at the start and galloped for 30 m.
Image Du Jour quickly put pressure on the leader and could take the lead after 500m.
The leader got disturbed by something and Operator Jim took the lead rather easily.
