“The Fegentri Final World Championship steeple Chase” won by Daniel Wirenstal from Sweden.
Danny Cook from England has beaten the French Gentlemen Rider Paul-Henri de Quatrebarbes from France only by a head. The French Gentlemen Rider Paul-Henri de Quatrebarbes was nearly passing the winning post in Baden-Baden in the Fegentri flat race when Danny Cook from England passed and has beaten him with a head. The Fegentri World Championship was still not decided and everybody was looking forward to the last race of the series: Preis vom Jagdhaus Deutscher Amateur-Preis “Kaiserpreis” Fegentri World Championship Final for Gentlemen Riders Seven riders from 6 different countries (Ireland, England, France, Switzerland, Sweden and two riders from Germany) were fighting to win. A very valuable challenge trophy was to be handed over to the owner of the winner, who won this Fegentri race three times. The race was organised since 1987. Otto-Werner Seiler, race-horse owner and trainer won this race already twice and had good chances to keep the 40,000 Euro value trophy. After a quite turbulent race Daniel Wirenstal from Sweden won the Steeple Chase and Otto-Werner Seiler can take the trophy home. He and also Daniel Wirenstal were very touched when the Swedish National Anthem was played. Otto-Werner Seiler and his “Stall Steintor” racing stable won more than 1,500 races and he is going to finish as a trainer by end of this year. It could not have been a better final for him.
