Clayton Fredericks (AUS) returns to the scene of one of his greatest triumphs for the 10th leg of the 2010 HSBC FEI World Cup™ Eventing series, which takes place this weekend (August 13-15). The Swedish seaside town of Malmö, where the Cross-Country course runs right down to the beach, is where Fredericks won the FEI World Cup Final in 2005, the victory that kicked off a roll of success which was to include Olympic and World silver medals.
Fredericks, who has made the long journey from Britain with his Burghley horses Brookleigh and Be My Guest, is just one of a large cast of international stars hoping to pick up valuable points in the FEI World Cup Eventing rankings which, with three events left to run, are currently led by Germany’s Michael Jung (GER).
Jung’s compatriots are out in force at Malmö, including Kai-Steffen Meier, who is currently in eighth place with 107 points after a second-place finish at Marbach (AUS) and 11th at Strzegom (POL) and could easily better his position with higher placings on TSF Karascada M or Pretty Darling.
