Twomey & Lee land Listed contest

Super Sox (11/4 jt-fav) was a decisive winner of the Irish Stallion Farms Irish EBF Platinum Stakes under Billy Lee.

A Curragh maiden winner on her previous start in May, the daughter of Lope De Vega travelled strongly just off the pace and came through to lead inside the final quarter-mile. From there, she was ridden out to beat Dance Night Andday by a length-and-three-quarters.

"She is a nice filly and all her runs had been good but she won very impressively running quick sectional times on Guineas weekend. She did a 10.5 and an 11.07 (seconds) for the final two furlongs and the horse she beat won by nine lengths and 11 lengths on his next starts.

"She is big, we gave her time and she has furnished her frame as she was quite light in the spring. She needed to fill and hopefully it's onwards and upwards. She has an entry in the Ballyogan but I doubt she'll run, as it is next weekend.

"Billy said she could come back to six furlongs next year and we think she has a good future."
