At the end of the second day of the tournament at the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER on Friday evening, 32 promising young horses aged from seven to eight galloped round the GLOCK’s Youngster Tour course over 1.30 m.

After taking seventeenth place the day before, Alex Duffy (IRL) positioned his seven-year-old mare Dancing Queen Z (Dulf van De Bisschop x Quintessence Z) as today's big winner. “I didn't expect to win, but she is very fast and easy to turn. I am completely satisfied with her” said Alex Duffy in praise of his upcoming youngster.

Yesterday as today, Marco Kutscher (GER) guided his eight-year-old Holsteiner stallion Quadros (Quidam de Revel x Corrado I) in 29.67 seconds to third place without any faults.
