Hot-pot Erysimum bolts up for Willie McCreery in fillies maiden

Trainer Willie McCreery certainly enjoyed his post-Punchestown trip to Sligo yesterday, sharing a double with Billy Lee as Erysimum and Downforce delivered in good style.

McCreery, who won the opening fillies auction maiden with Champagne Or Water two years ago, struck again with odds-on favourite Erysimum, in the colours of Barouche Stud, which bolted up by no less than seventeen lengths from Zebgrey.

Having dictated the lead, Billy Lee let the Arcabo filly ease into the lead at half-way before drawing clear from before the home-turn, to the delight of trainer McCreery.
