At the opening day of the international World Cup qualifier in Sacramento it were the American combinations dominating the main class. Under a bright Cali-sun, the 1.50m CSI worldcup 3* class was claimed by Audrey Coulter and Capital Cornarod (by Colman). The pair stopped the jump-off time in 36.91 seconds. Compatriot Jack Towell followed as runner-up aboard Lucifer V (by Lord Dezi) after a clear finish in 37.40 seconds. Together with the 12-year-old Arpeggio-son Alex, Coulter also placed third. The top five was completed by Karl Cook with Caillou 24 (by Casall ASK) and Brazil's Eduardo Menezes (Catalina) in a fourth and fifth place. A total of 13 combinations produced a clear first round.
