(voice-over): The John Best-trained Berrahri and Paul Webber's New Agenda came into the 2,000-meter race having already won on the snow this month. They faced a 10-strong field, also featuring entries from Germany and France, but dominated by the Swiss hosts; and they weren't going to make it easy for the visitors.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: As they turned thunder town the chute the home straight here at an St. Moritz, Filous (ph) is out in front. Then he leads. Now they're approaching the final two furlongs as they turn out the back straight. Berrahri is trying hard to get back into contention. He's gone into second place now.
