TOKYO (AP) - The Springsteen family has gone platinum many times over.
Time to make space for a little silver, too.
Jessica Springsteen and the U.S. equestrian jumping team came up just short of Olympic gold, falling to Sweden in a jump off Saturday night that still left the Americans with a record 10th medal in the event.
"I had really high hopes coming in today," Springsteen said. "It really gave me a lot of confidence and the ability to have big dreams of riding with them so, I´m just so excited."
It's the first for the 29-year-old Springsteen, the daughter of famed rockers Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, who made her Olympic debut in Tokyo. Riding powerful stallion Don Juan van de Donkhoeve, she clipped one rail in the primary round Saturday, as did McLain Ward, leaving the U.S in a tie with the Swedes for first with eight penalty points.

Yet he fought with the Monmouth Cty, NJ tax collector to have his mansion and the stable where he his little girl’s horsey was raised zoned as agricultural so he can catch a nice tax break. It would be interesting to find out if he hired “undocumented” immigrants to clean out the stable
