Billy Lee edged ahead of Colin Keane (89-88) in the title race when partnering Nightcliff, the only horse trained in Clarina, County Limerick by David Geary, to victory in the opening Irish Stallion Farms' EBF 2-Y-0 Fillies' Maiden at the final meeting of the season at the Curragh.
Having her third run, and her first since finishing fourth to Never Ending Story in a Curragh maiden on Derby weekend in June, the Territories filly challenged late to get the better of Dermot Weld’s debutante Azazat by a half-length, with favourite Starry Eyed back in third.
