During the main class of the day in the Morocco Royal Tour, no fewer than thirty combinations remained completely clear. With so many clean-sheets, everything came down to time. The victory went to the Brazilian Francisco José Mesquita Musa, who in the saddle of Catch Me Marathon (Contagio) set the fastest time.
Francisco José Mesquita Musa jumped the fastest clear round in the 4* 1.45m high class with Catch Me Marathon. The duo clocked in at 66.36 seconds, and thus effortlessly took the win.
