Willie McCreery resurgence continues apace

After a mid-season lull trainer Willie McCreery has returned to form with a vengeance, and he recorded a 29-1 double on the opening day of the Killarney’s August festival, including taking the listed Vincent O’Brien Ruby Stakes with the game Erysimum.

A winner at Sligo and over this course and distance in May, she finished fourth behind Only Mine when bidding to complete her treble later that month.

Off the track since, she returned in great heart for this listed event and, under a positive ride from Billy Lee, she popped out of her plumb draw in one, and gave generously to come out on top in a five-way photo finish.
