Romantically thriving on racing and lands some bets

Billy Lee has his many followers in profit since racing returned at Naas on June 8th, and here he guided Camelot filly Romantically to a length and three parts success from Tonkinese

Owned and bred by Johnny Connaughton of Bloomfield House Hotel in County Westmeath, Romantically chased the leader in second, before improving to lead two furlongs out.

Soon ridden the four-year-old stayed on well in the final furlong to seal the win.

Well-bred handicap first-timer Nostra Casa caught the eye coming home well for fourth.

“It was good to get her to win on grass for Johnny Connaughton,” said McCreery.

“He's looking on from home and she's a home-bred filly. His other horse Yenillik ran a cracker last night to be second. That's her second win.

“Billy said she loved that little bit of ease in the ground. We'll keep rolling along in handicaps and she's thriving on racing.”
