Bertram Allen guides his Gin Chin van het Lindenhof to Grand Prix victory in Maastricht
An exciting jump-off, an enthousiast audience, that were the ingredients of the 1.55m Longines Trophy Grand Prix in Maastricht. Seven combinations qualified for the jump-off in this Grand Prix.

Only the top three riders produced a clear round. As one of the last to start it was Bertram Allen who set the clear record time aboard the 12-year-old BWP-gelding, Gin Chin van het Lindenhof (Chin Chin). Allen galopped to victory in 38.99 seconds. Earlier this week the Irish show jumping rider already speeded to victory in Maastricht.

Apart from Allen the stage colored orange. Gerco Schröder guided his 15-year-old Glock's Cognac Champblanc faultless through the jump-off in 39.38 seconds. Aboard his Clearway-son he settled as runner-up leaving Kim Emmen in third with her 10-year-old Delvaux (Chacco-Blue). Allen's compatriot Darragh Kenny placed outside the stage in fourth with Balou du Reventon (Cornet Obbolensky).

Jos Lansink's stable riders, Frank Schuttert and Pieter Clemens shared the fifth spot. Dutch Frank Schuttert jumped in fifth with Claus Dieter (Clarimo) and shared this place with Belgium's Pieter Clemens aboard Icos (Querlybet Hero).
