Thiswaycadeaux is making the Tulsk Handicap her own

Thiswaycadeaux (8s into 13/2) took the Tulsk Handicap for the second year running at Roscommon.

Again Billy Lee was in the plate for Willie McCreery and off a seven pound higher mark the daughter of Thewayyouare won by even further this time.

It was two lengths in 2018 but this time the five-year-old was better to account for Stormy Belle by three lengths.

Stormy Belle was actually third in this seven furlong heat a year back.

“The ground came for her and she’s a different filly on that ground. Billy rode her with lots of confidence and got her on a good even keel," said McCreery.

“Things have to fall right for fillies and she was in a going mood today. The ground is the difference.

“She’s entered in the seven-furlong (Sovereign Path) handicap on Champions Weekend (at Leopardstown), so if everyone goes to the All-Ireland (Football Final Replay) then I might go there!

“Hopefully we gets loads of rain, and I was hoping she would go up a few pounds to make sure she got into it.”

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Erich Bloch trained by G.M.Lyons, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be stiff post race.
