WEXFORD’s Bertram Allen didn’t quite manage to win the four-star Grand Prix at the Stockholm Horse Show in Sweden for a fourth time in a row, but he did finish within the top five at the show which has been good to him through his young career.

After winning 12 months ago aboard Gin Chin van het Lindenhof, who won the four-star Grand Prix in Maastricht just two weeks ago, he rode GK Casper (Canto x Quantum) in Sunday’s renewal and was one of five riders to make it through to the tough jump-off, where no rider managed to clear the track.
