The mare "Tarifa" brought the team "Godelfin" and trainer Bredu Cox a victory in Group 2 over the distance of 1700 meters in the race "Mazer Goustix" on the American track "Akvodakt". This was the fifth winning performance of the three-year-old "Tarifa", the third victory in Group 2. Led by jockey Flavian Prat, "Tarifa" started with a slow start, but was able to quickly catch up with the leaders and pull ahead in the final 200 meters, finishing first with a time of one minute, 50 seconds, and 78 hundredths of a second.

The mare of the American "Gun Song" under the guidance of trainer Mark Henning and jockey John Velasquez managed to secure second place, visibly trailing behind "Tarifa". The American mare "Preti Anna" under the guidance of trainer Chad Brown and jockey Dylan Davis finished third.

Flavian Prat commented on the success of "Tarifa", noting its strong final sprint and battle for leadership. He stated in an interview: "I wanted to try a new style with 'Tarifa', especially after we lost part of our inertia at the start. However, her quick breakout and racing qualities in the final meters allowed us to take first place and win, confirming her outstanding abilities."
