Beezie Madden is back at Spruce Meadows after taking last summer off to compete with the American team in Europe. And the 55-year-old of Cazenovia, N.Y., fell right back into her winning ways, capturing the ATB Financial Cup 1.55-metre class on Thursday aboard Darry Lou. “My goal here is for my horses to become better horses when they leave here,” Madden said. With some horses, you have to be a little more careful with them here with their vision because everything is so impressive here … they come out better horses. And obviously the world ranking points and prize money are enticing too.”Thursday’s event was a qualifier for Saturday’s RBC Grand Prix as the top-50 in the ATB Financial Cup advance.
