She then set the mark to beat by turning in another clean round over the seven-effort tiebreaker course finishing in a time of 32.268 seconds.

The next two entries couldn’t beat her score and that left it to the final entry, Laura Chapot on Gideon, winner of two feature classes earlier in the week.

Chapot rode Gideon to another clean ride, but her time of 33.254 seconds was just a bit slower, leaving her in second place.
