Meyer for the second in the Sparkasse Youngster Cup
Nomen est omen with Tobias Meyer's seven-year-old Zangersheide mare Celebrity - H, who also secured the second test of the Sparkassen-Youngsters-Cup at the CHIO Aachen 2022 today.
Celebrity -H, the name fits! The Comme il faut-daughter seems to be a born winner and despite her only seven years she has already proven that in many ways. This is also the case in Aachen. First on Tuesday, when she won the first test of the three-part Sparkasse Youngsters Cup, then today, when she easily outperformed the competition in the second round in 60.17 seconds. Second and third place went to two eight-year-old colleagues: the OS stallion Medarco PS by Philip Rüping. Messenger (0/61.67) and the Zangersheide stallion Vellington de Carat Z by Vivaldi du Seigneur under Belgium's Jérôme Guery (0/61.81).
If you speak to Tobias Meyer about Celebrity – H, it just bubbles out of him: "I've had her since the beginning of five years. At that time it was very complicated, very stupid.” What does he mean by that? "She's always electrified, very hot, very frantic and carries her head very high. I'm always happy when she takes a step," he smiles. But there are also great qualities on the other hand: “She only very, very rarely makes a mistake. And faster than them? You really have to make an effort there!” The competition certainly did that today. Just didn't help.
