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.
Glowing Candy sprinted away from the competitors and took the lead. Kai P Jussila wanted a little to much in the start and Hard Striker galoped for 50 m. When the startcar left the field Amina started to galop and lost 10 m.
