We were treated to a relatively drama-free trot-up this morning as the CCI4*-L and CCI4*-S each presented for the Ground Jury of Peter Gray (CAN), Bea di Grazia (USA) and Helen Christine (NZL) as well as Veterinary Delegate Charles Arensberg.
There were no withdrawals overnight in either 4* division but we did have two holds, one of which resulted in an elimination. Jan Byyny was held with Beautiful Storm in the 4*-L but was accepted when she returned to trot again. In the 4*-S, Zach Brandt was held and then spun by the Ground Jury upon re-presentation.

So we will now move ahead with 22 to see in the Open 4*-L and 8 to see in the 4*-S, which will jump beginning at 12 p.m. ET followed by the Open Final at 1:20 p.m. ET.
