DONAUESCHINGEN, Germany, Sept. 20, 2015–Dante Delux MJ, an eight-year-old Hanoverian stallion, was ridden by Matthias Bouten to win the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal Prix St. Georges Special Sunday to qualify for the year-end final of the prestigious German Small Tour championship.
Matthias and Dante Delux (Danone I x Rouletto) scored 73.927 per cent for the win over Nicole Casper and Dallas on 72.024 per cent with Victoria Michalke on Duke of Britain in third on 69.488 per cent and the Germany-based Australian Hayley Beresford on Rebana W fourth on 68.805 per cent.
Matthias, former assistant to five-time Olympian Isabell Werth, originally trained Dante Delux but the ride on the Jerich-owned horse was given to Adelinde Cornelissen before being returned to the German rider.
Matthias has been competing several of the Jerich horses in 2015, including Fraeulein Auguste MJ, a nine-year-old Westfalen mare, that he qualified for the Burg-Pokal final in May.
Donaueschingen was the 14th of 15 qualifying events for the final in Frankfurt Dec. 17-20.
