International Showjumper, Bertram Allen will ride at the 2018 Punchestown Festival.
The 22yo Wexford man, currently ranked 24th in the world, plans to ride in “The Punchestown Kidney Research Race” on the Saturday of the Festival.
“I’m really looking forward to. Over the past five years my family and I have supported this great cause and this year I finally get the chance to be a jockey for the day.
By lending my support to this great cause I want to raise as much money as possible for the charity but I also want to raise awareness for something that is affecting so many families.
All donations would be greatly appreciated and if I could encourage you to carry a donor card also that would be great.
Follow my progress on Facebook and hopefully, I will see you on the day.”

Bertram’s father, Bert, was heavily involved in horse racing for many years, and his colours were a familiar sight on racecources and point-to-point fields throughout Ireland.
Incidentally Wexford GAA are holding a fundraiser on the same day at the Punchestown Festival, so it will certainly be a great day for all Wexicans.
