The competition demanded precision, agility, and the pursuit of the fastest time, over a course designed by Guilherme Nogueira Jorge. The standout performance came from Lucio Osorio, accompanied by his mare Quastina (Quaid I - Casablanca x Contendro I), Hanoverian-bred but registered with ABCCH, who crossed the finish line without penalties in 55.88 seconds.

In third place was Chelsea Jmen under the saddle of Guilherme Dutra Foroni who crossed the finish line fault-free in a time of 56.45 seconds.
