Second in class of 25 horses was Walhall, ridden by Rebecca Rigdon to a score of 70.000%, followed by Canadian, Julia Vysniauskas and Papillion who scored a 69.767 %.

Fourth place went to another dappled grey, the Dutch gelding Mitchell owned and shown by John Zopatti, also to a score of 69.767%. And fifth place also went to the handsome dappled grey, Silver Label ridden by Michael Shondel to a score of 67.907%.
