WEXFORD’s Bertram Allen finished fourth in the five-star Longines Cup of the City of Barcelona Grand Prix at the Real Club de Polo in Barcelona last Sunday.

Riding Ballywalter Farm’s 13-year-old grey mare Molly Malone V (Kannan x Cavalier), Allen was one of seven riders, from the 39 that started, to keep a clean sheet in the first round of Santiago Varela’s 1.55m track. The big technical track saw 10 combinations retire.
