LUDGER SHINES IN STUTTGART
Stuttgart (GER), 22 November 2009 – Ludger Beerbaum kept the home crowd very happy indeed when racing to victory in the fifth leg of the 2009/2010 Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping series in Stuttgart, Germany this afternoon. Riding the eight year old Gotha he grabbed the advantage with a determined run in the nine-horse jump-off and withstood a fierce challenge from the on-form Frenchman Michel Robert who had to settle for runner-up spot with Kellemoi de Pepita. Today’s glittering line-up also included Alltech FEI European individual silver medallists Carsten-Otto Nagel and Corradina who took third for Germany ahead of Olympic silver medallist Rolf-Goran Bengtsson from Sweden in fourth and reigning individual European Champion, Kevin Staut, in fifth.
This result now moves Beerbaum into fourth position on the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping leaderboard which continues to be led by Switzerland’s Daniel Etter. Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8971
