High-profile winners at Wednesday's 'point' There were plenty of high-profile connections to the fore at the Killeagh Harriers, Inch point-to-point run at Ballyanthony, Tallow today and three time Cheltenham Festival winning rider, Richie Harding enjoyed a treble, two of which came for the Barbers and Liam Burke, the other one being for Alan and Ann Potts, that fellow trained by Jim Dreaper. Paul Barber was in attendance with Paul Nicholls' father, Brian (he was singled out during the big-freeze by the champion trainer for his trojan work in keeping the gallops fit for use) to see their Liam Burke-trained, Richie Harding-ridden horses take both divides of the five-year-old geldings maiden. Join Together made it third time lucky in division one. This ex-John Costello trained son of Old Vic, that comes from the family of multiple chase winner, Wade Road, beat Toon River by seven lengths. He carried the colours of Marianne Barber (pink, white chevron, pink sleeves and a white cap) to victory. Half-an-hour later the attractive newcomer, Tobeluckyenough, a grand strong type, again justified favouritism for the Barbers, Burke and Harding. From the family of Monsignor, Tobeluckyenough was a half a length superior to Fernhurst Lad at the finish. Harding completed the hat-trick in the winners of one on Royal De La Thinte for Jim Dreaper. In the Sizing Europe ownership of Alan & Ann Potts, this French-bred son of Cachet Noir created a huge impression when galloping his rivals into the ground at Bennettsbridge thirty two days ago. The bookmakers were happy to 'lay' him here though, some punters availing themselves of the flashes of 4/5 before he settled at around the 4/6 mark. The five-year-old didn't attempt the same swash-buckling tactics of his maiden success but he 'opened up' to win his race up the straight. However, tiring from the last, Royal De La Thinte, ended up with just two and a half lengths to spare over Alpha Class. Jim Dreaper could be seen in the in-field relaying a commentary, via mobile phone to connections. According to Dreaper, this "proper horse" will now go for a beginners chase on the track after May 1st.
