• In the 100 to 125 group, Reid Patton was quite good. Riders seem to be figuring out that riding a flowing track to fence 3, the triple bar set in the corner, is key. Riders who cut the turn seem to surprise their horses with the jump and run into problems. 

Hunter Holloway had a refusal at the first fence, but finished up well. Charlotte Jacobs was on her way to a lovely round, but her horse hesitated off the ground and had an awkward jump at the narrow wall at fence 7. 

• From 125 to the bitter end at 152, Kilian McGrath did a really nice job on a horse who definitely didn't want to play today. He stopped and spun a few times, but she did a good job to keep him going and finish the course. Savannah Jenkins was good, and then Luke Olsen got deep to one of the Swedish oxers and had a rail. 

Gabrielle Bausano and Catherine Tyree both had solid rounds. 

Schaefer Raposa had a lovely round as the next-to-last to go.

The Round 2 course is just an exact replica of the first-round course in reverse! Except that they extended the distance from the green vertical to the triple combination, which makes it a long four strides now. 

Reid Patton got a deep distance into the triple, added a stride in the one-stride portion. Also had a rail at the last jump.

Hannah von Heidegger was very solid and positive.

Adeline Audette had a good round, with no real flaws.

Rebekah Chenelle had deep distance to both one of the Swedish oxers and to the ASPCA wall and had rails at both fences.
