BERTRAM Allen and Pacino Amiro (ISH) led a one-two for Ireland in the five-star 1.50m jump-off class at Rotterdam on Saturday, with Tom Wachman placing second on Obora’s Laura. Just 10 of the 35 starters jumped clear in the first round to get into the decider, where seven of them managed to remain fault-free for a second time.

Allen’s super time of 37.88 proved unbeatable and he took the winner’s prize of €7,500 with the 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Pacino Amiro (Pacino (BWP) x Carnone Dancing Queen (ISH) by NC Amiro (AES)), bred by Simon Scott in Co Donegal and owned by Ballywalter Stables, who was making his five-star comeback in fine style, with Wachman a close second on 38.16 for the €6,000 runner-up prize.
