Allen and Wachmans shine
in Wellington Grand Prix
B
ERTRAM Allen and ‘Emmylou’
are making a habit of winning
at Wellington - the pair did it
again on Sunday with a CSI3*
Grand Prix win.
Irish Olympian Allen was imperious
on board the mare, and she made it
a second win at the Florida venue in
a matter of weeks, having won a four
star ranking class last month.
In truth, ‘Emmylou’ looked very
comfortable, jumping quick and bold,
going clear in round one in a time of
67.02 seconds, the fastest time of all
the clear rounds.
In the jump-off, the combination
were zoned in and when Allen
went double clear in a time of 36.86
seconds, the writing was on the wall
for the remaining competitors.
The pair eventually won by well
over a second, with another Irishman,
David Blake, also going double clear
to finish in the placings in fifth on
board ‘Claude’.
Wexford man, Allen, has been in redhot form this winter and has landed
successes with ‘Emmylou’, Nations
Cup mount ‘Pacino Amiro’ (ISH) and
‘Caprisco’, and he was very happy
with the mare’s performance.
“I was delighted to win, it’s the third
time in a row I’ve won the Grand
Prix here this week, so that’s cool,”

Allen said.
“The mare jumped very, very, very
well, so I’m thrilled with her and I’m
very much looking forward to the rest
of the season here.”
Tom Wachman turned 18 this week
and he celebrated his birthday with
a win in the Hermes Under-25 Grand
Prix on board ‘I’m Here’ - beating
older brother Max into sixth on ‘Fancy
De Kergane’.
Afterwards, Tom Wachman said:
“He’s fast and brave with a big stride,
and I probably had an advantage
on Max, as my horse would be a bit
quicker and his is still a little green,
but I’m delighted.”
