Last year's Jockeys Championship runner-up Bill Lee completed a Cork treble today steering unbeaten Vain Gloria (4/9f) to win the Buy Tickets Online Median Auction Race and complete a double for trainer Paddy Twomey.
The Kodi Bear filly was a debut Killarney winner 10 days ago and today raced prominently and held faster-finishing Kayhana by a half-length.
Lee's earlier winners were with the Ken Condon-trained Gabriella's Spirit and A Lilac Rolla whose same trainer Twomey reported “we have had Vain Gloria since she was a yearling and she has now run twice in ten days which mightn't have been the plan originally.
“I ran another Kodi Bear filly in this race last year, which had won at Ballinrobe, but had the first and second in the Cambridgeshire in front of me so we said we wouldn't bother this year. However the race didn't fill and was reopened at 12.15pm last Monday so I entered.
“She came out of Killarney great, hadn't done much between races and seemed in great form. It was great she backed it up today and beat horses rated 10lb higher than the last day.
“She is a lovely filly and I won't be in a hurry now but she'll go for a black-type race next.”
