The first rider at the start was Italy's Alberto Zorzi aboard Danique (Zento). The pair jumped one rail down with his KWPN-mare. Belgium's Christophe Vanderhasselt was the first to complete the second round faultless in the saddle of his Belgian Warmblood mare, Identity Vitseroel (Air Jordan Z).
Vanderhasselt stopped the clock in 56.28 seconds setting the pace. Scott Brash immediately did it faster with his 9-year-old Stolzenberg-son, Hello Shelby. Brash crossed the finish in 54.99 seconds. Jessica Springsteen ensured the revelation as she crossed the finish in 53.82 seconds with Rmf Swinny du Parc (Caspar). The pair crossed the finish in 53.82 seconds.
It seemed like Springsteen speeded to victory but eventually Belgium's Gregory Wathelet impressed being over two seconds faster. Wathelet made a short turn towards the Waregem Horse Week vertical and saved a second after the double combination with Mjt Nevados (Calvados Z). Crossing the finish in 51.79 seconds the pair speeded to victory. Kent Farrington and Creedance (Lord Z) followed and followed Wathelet's line. After a clear finish in 52.87 seconds the pair settled as runner-up.
