The weather had been good all week and Tingsryd 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 Frozen Hero. Cookie Monster ended up behind the leader. Happy Valley got caught on the outside and were forced to take place as first in lane two. When the startcar left the field Good Looking Paladin started to galop and lost 40 m.
