Bertram Allen’s 9-year-old Classified (Je T’aime Flamenco x Libertino) has been sold, and will in the future be seen under Gonzalo Busca Roca, the Irish rider has announced on his website.
As an 8-year-old, Classified had great success with Allen in the saddle – recently winning the CSI5* 1.50m Prix des Communes Genevoises as well as finishing second in the 1.45m Prix Swiss Wine Genève at CHI Geneva. Earlier last year, the pair also won 1.45m classes in Paris and in Opglabbeek.
On his website, Allen stated: “We are pleased that Classified will be joining the Stransky’s Mission Farm stables, where we will continue to follow his career. Wishing Gonzalo every success with this talented gelding. He has been an absolute pleasure to ride from day one.”
