Party Dress a stylish winner for McCreery

Party Dress ridden by Billy Lee, was a 9/1 winner of the nine-furlong fillies' maiden at Tipperary.

Prominent throughout, the grey daughter of Mastercraftsman headed Jeaniemacaroney early in the straight and stayed on well to account for that rival by two and a-quarter lengths.

Owned by the Party Dress Partnership, the winner is trained by Willie McCreery who remarked: "She always worked well but hadn't run well in her two runs. She worked well on good ground the last day so I was disappointed the rain came but there weren't many options so I decided to run her. 

"She is big honest filly and was sent over to Ian McCarthy (pre-trainer) so she could jump a hurdle. 

"My wife and her good friend Susan Archdeacon own her between them and they're delighted."
