THE northern racing and point-to-point scene received another boost at Cheltenham recently when three of the top four lots at Brightwells’ sale were consigned by yards in the region.

The Stuart Crawford-trained Twentytwo’s Taken topped the session when knocked down to Peter Molony’s Rathmore Stud for £150,000. The six-year-old King’s Theatre mare, who has joined the David Pipe yard, won her first bumper at last year’s Boxing Day meeting in Down Royal.
