Charlie Jacobs and the Oldenburg Mare, Quidditch II, Were Victorious In the Difficult $50,000 CN Jumping Derby! On Sunday, Charlie Jacobs, Principal Owner of the National Hockey League team, The Boston Bruins, took on 46 competitors in the $50,000 CN Jumping Derby at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, FL.  Jacobs and his 10-year-old former Elite Auction Oldenburg mare, Quidditch II (Quattro B x Alcapri (Carprilli)), were one of only three competitors to go clean over the long derby course, designed by Richard Jeffery.  Jacobs completed the course in 138.17 seconds, securing his win over Shane Sweetnam and Little Emir.   The derby was challenging for many of the horses and rider combinations. Jacobs explained, "When I think of a derby I think about the amount of time it will take and how there will be many obstacles to maneuver.  When walking the course Sunday, many of the riders may have thought about how the jumps didn't seem that large, around a 1.45 m, but then when they started galloping the course, it became a real test of endurance on both the horse and the rider.
