It had been raining for several days at Gävle but the sun was shining this day a the track was in good shape.
The players just had time to make their last bets before the start. All horses seemed to be in good shape this day.
Zsuzskossuth Moot was looking particularly good and could easily take the lead. Mirage D´atlantique C.C. was to tense at the start and galloped for 40 m.
