WEXFORD’s Bertram Allen continued his winning streak, making it two from two at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida when winning the four-star $73,000 Equinimity WEF Challenge Cup with Ballywalter Stables’ GK Casper on Thursday.

Eight combinations made it through to the jump-off over course designer Anderson Lima’s (BRA) testing track. All eight jumped clear in the second round, so it all came down to speed to determine the finishing order. Allen, who had the benefit of being last to go, broke the beam in 39.00 seconds, with home rider Natalie Dean and Marigold Sporthorses LLC’s Jewel De Kwakenbeek nipping at their heels in a time of 39.02 seconds. Britain’s Amanda Derbyshire rode Gochman Sport Horses LLC’s Luibanta BH into third in 39.28 seconds.
