BERTRAM Allen and Richard Howley scored a remarkable 1-2 finish for Ireland in last Sunday’s €200,000 five-star Grand Prix at St Gallen in Switzerland.

Aboard Noel Delahunty’s 10-year-old stallion Hector van d’Abdijhoeve (Cabrio Van De Heffinck x Utrillo Van De Heffinck), Allen secured the winner’s prize of €50,000 when last to go in the jump-off, breaking the beam in 44.75 seconds to relegate Howley and Chinook to second place.
