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.
Cheerful Dragon could eventually take the lead after a very dramatic start.
The leader couldn't hold the lead and Wandering Wardrobe sprinted to the front. A bird flew just in front of Valpolicella Hof who started to galop and lost 40 m.
Cox sprinted past the competitors and took over the lead.
Nothing seemed to be able to stop Cox today. It continued in the lead.
Cheerful Dragon speeded up in the last bend and was first on the homestretch.
