[edit] Notes

  1. ^ According to both Mallon and de Wael, there were 18 entrants in the event, 5 of which were Italian. De Wael contends that all 18 competed. Trissino competed twice. Assuming the unknown equestrian competed once, di Modrone must have entered the event twice.
  2. ^ Stagliano advanced as an alternate to the semifinals when Dutertre withdrew.
