The first competition day in the Aachen Soer concluded with the Youngster Cup. Sergio Moya and the 8-year-old Unicstar de L'Aumone (by Ninio de Rox) took home the win after a finish in 62.89 seconds. A few weeks ago the pair also won the young horses at the Glock's Performance Center in Treffen. Today the combination was about two seconds faster as the CHIO opening winner, Emanuele Gaudiano. Together with the 7-year-old Chalou, Gaudiano finished as runner up. Two weeks ago they also finished second at the Knokke Hippique first week edition. Ireland's Bertram Allen tacked-up the 8-years-old GK Casper (by Canto). The pair stopped the clock in 65.26 seconds, placing third. Christian Kuku and Darc Horse (by Douglas) placed fourth while Felix Hassmann and the 7-year-old Sig Captain America (by Captain Fire) completed the top five.
