Tobin in sparkling form

PAUL TOBIN was in sparkling form at the annual Dawstown point-to-point meeting, run under the auspices of the Muskerry Foxhounds, at Grenagh yesterday.

Tobin partnered three winners and he initiated his hat-trick courtesy of the Philip Goulding-trained Prime Witness (3/1) in the 'winners of three'.

The victorious five-year-old, previously successful in the Tallow confined maiden in February, is owned by Tobin's grand-uncle Paul Allen. Prime Witness was challenged by favourite Tupgill Turbo at the second last. The latter was soon done with as Prime Witness gamely asserted to beat the staying-on Flashy Boy by four lengths.
