FOR the second year in-a-row, Wexford’s Bertram Allen stormed to victory in Sunday’s $140,000 IDA Development three-star Grand Prix at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida, this time riding his own Harley VD Bisschop.

The sixth week of WEF came to a close on the big grass derby field when 45 entries took on the 1.55m track designed by Mexico’s Ana Catalina Harris Cruz. Fifteen competitors found the key to a clear round, and with one retirement from the jump-off, 14 contested the short course.
