Review down royal 9th Sep

< Gusty Rocky s victory in the West Coast Cooler Fashion Week Ulster Cesarewitch Handicap was the highlight of a Down Royal treble for Billy Lee.

Useful over obstacles, the 9-2 shot is comparatively well treated on the level but he was in need of a run at the top of the straight.

Lee got a gap, though, and Pat Flynn's gelding accelerated through it to dispose of Automated by two and a quarter lengths.

Frustrating juvenile Hunaina had to settle for the runner-up spot for the fourth consecutive occasion in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Mick Halford's odds-on favourite appeared all set for glory when picking off Quick Chat inside the final furlong but she was run down by Lee on the Willie McCreery-trained Childhood (7-2), who pipped her by a neck.

Lee's three-timer was completed by Modern Tutor (10-1) in the Weatherbys Handicap.< Trevanna (40-1) sprouted wings to make a successful beginning to her career in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden.< Cul An Ti and Delegating seemed to have it between them and were still clear flashing past the furlong pole, but Kevin Prendergast's Trevanna hit top gear under Chris Hayes and stormed over the top of them to triumph by a neck from fellow fast finisher Hansian Prince

The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for older horses went the way of Accalia & ndash; but only just.

The 13-8 joint-favourite had run up a sequence of second placings and looked set to break through quite comfortably when shooting clear halfway down the straight, but Waitaki came with a wet sail in the closing stages and only failed by a neck.

Accalia's jockey Colin Keane followed up when Twist Of Magic led her rivals a merry dance in the HSS Hire Nursery Handicap, holding on by three-quarters of a length from fellow 9-2 joint-favourite Joyce Compton

A thrilling finish to the West Coast Cooler Apprentice Handicap saw Tempo Mac (5-1) and Rolanna (11-2) share the spoils.
