Ahlmann’s record at Leipzig is quite something. This was his seventh win at the fixture which celebrates its 22nd anniversary this year. “Caribis jumped very, very well - the course really suited him, the short distances were good for me so that was our luck today!” Ahlmann said.
“He’s always been a bit in the shadow of Taloubet and Codex, but he’s taken a huge step forward over the last season and he’s ready for big things now. He jumps really light and he’s very quick in a jump-off, he’s a very sporty horse!” he said of the stallion he knows well, because they’ve been a partnership for the last five years.
