The sky was free of clouds and the sun was shining at Mantorp this day.
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.
Active Bear sprinted away from the competitors and took the lead.
Bohatý Bodnutí quickly put pressure on the leader and could take the lead after 500m.
The leader got disturbed by something and Sultan Bayezid took the lead rather easily. Active Bear galloped for 60m and was disqualified.
Nothing seemed to be able to stop Sultan Bayezid today. It continued in the lead.
