With a starting field of eighty-seven, many riders felt the pressure in the first two rounds with just nine combinations making it through to the final jump-off.
Using a late draw to her advantage, Harriet kept one eye on the clock as she jumped a fast and accurate round aboard her 8 year-old dun gelding, Little Charlie II, to take victory in 41.10 seconds.
