When the flag went down all ponies trotted safely with Born To Be Wild in the lead from Little Kizz, So What, Chocolate Thunder, Aadelaidee Lady, Cowboy Road, Summer Surprise, Aussie, Lapanacaton, Mr Mischief and Wynkie Sweet Fairytales.

Coming around the last bend Born To Be Wild was still holding the lead but was soon challenged by So What who took over the lead and went for home. Summer Surprise started her run from the back. Half way up the straight Summer Surprise and So What went side by side to the finishing line, it was a battle between the two greys with So What just holding on by a small margin.

The final results were 1^st So What and Jennifer Lehmann, 2^nd Summer Surprise and Cheyenne Moritz and 3^rd Mr Mischief and Bailey Hoare.

The next race of the night was the Shetland class with a field of eight taking to the track. When the stater said go PJ was the early leader from Razzle Dazzle, Pee Wee 50, White Lightning Jessiefoss, Midnight Star, Crackerjack and the back marker Wandarra Tess.

Coming down the straight Wandarra Tess took over the lead, White Lightning got into second for Annalyse Brewin who was having her first drive and Crackerjack was still making up ground down the outside.
