Final of the Sparkassen-Youngsters-Cup
Beezie Madden also steers Danny Boy to victory in the Final

As much jumping potential as his father: Danny Boy did credit to his father Clinton - second in the Grand Prix of Aachen in 2005 under Dirk Demeersman (Belgium). After already winning the first qualification, Beezie Madden also rode the 8-year-old Belgian gelding to victory in the floodlit Final of the Sparkassen-Youngsters-Cup this evening. The five participants in the jump-off kept on beating each other's time - and Madden, last to start, even managed to knock 3.1 seconds off the time of Holger Wulschner (Passin), who had saddled the 8-year-old FRG Little Liberty (0/50.73). Carsten-Otto Nagel (Wedel) came third on the 8-year-old Holstein stallion, Cazaro.

As well as prize-money, Beezie Madden also won a small four-legged aspirant for the future: the colt Cornetto, whose great-grandfather was also Clinton. Cornetto's sire is the stallion Cristallo, who is a son of Cornet Obolensky, the Clinton son that is successful in international sport under Marco Kutscher.
