A daredevil in more ways than one - Harry Allen and the mare Daredevil had their sights set on winning today's final class in the Lövsta Future Challenge International Young Horses at Stockholm Stadium. After an initial victory on Friday and a second place yesterday, it was a win for Ireland's Harry Allen and Daredevil Z (Dominator 2000 Z-Pronto, owned by Ballywater Stables & Philippaerts We Live Horses).

-"I entered the arena with a very good feeling today. Daredevil has been jumping fantastically all weekend and I know she's fast, so we took a chance and it paid off. Now she'll have a few quiet weeks when we get home, and then we'll see what her next competition will be. She has developed nicely and is a horse we really believe in," says Harry.

In second place, just a tenth of a second behind Harry Allen, was Great Britain's Ben Maher with Maddox vh Haringvliet Z (Monte Bellini-Ogano Sitte, owned by Ben Maher Limited). Third place went to Belgium's Thibault Philippaerts with Rakker St Anneke. In fourth place, and also the best Swedish rider of the day, was Angelica Augustsson Zanotelli with Comtado.

- "It's been fantastic to have the seven-year-old horses back at Stockholm Stadium. Swedish show jumping is incredibly successful right now. Lövsta Future Challenge aims to contribute to the development of talents for future championships, and we believe competitions like this can provide the teams with valuable experience and routines for future challenges," says Emelie Broman Tegelberg, project manager of Lövsta Future Challenge.
