Taking Gothenburg by Storm

Ireland's Jessica Kuerten nearly brought the roof down at the Scandinavium arena in Gothenburg, with a rip-roaring ride from Castle Forbes Libertina that scooped their second victory of the 2009/2010 Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping season.

It's getting down to the wire now with only one qualifying leg remaining and every precious point counting towards a place at the series final in Geneva, but Kuerten has cruised into a qualifying spot with the greatest of ease and today's victory suggests she will be one of the favourites when the final kicks off at the Swiss venue next month.

Germany's Marco Kutscher galloped into second place with the deceptively fast Cash while former World Champion Dermott Lennon slotted into third with the gelding Hallmark Elite, which, he says, "has the makings of another Libertina". If he is right about that then Irish show jumping is in very good shape indeed.
