The Ground Jury of President Robert Stevenson (USA), Xavier Le Sauce (FRA), and Judy Hancock (GBR) passed all horses, but two were held and passed upon re-inspection—British rider Yasmin Ingham's 2022 FEI World Eventing Championship winning mount Banzai du Loir and Doug Payne's (USA) Quantum Leap.

New Zealand's Matthew Grayling did not present Trudeau.

Dressage kicks off tomorrow for the five-star at 1:30 p.m. EST.
