Romantically thriving on racing and lands some bets Romantically (22/1 into 12/1) justified the market support in the Thanks To All Our Frontline Workers From Fairyhouse Handicap. Winning trainer Willie McCreery also enjoyed a success at this venue when they raced on Monday, as Mogwli prevailed in the colours of his wife Amanda. 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.” D.W. O'Connor, rider of Inteldream (GB) trained by J.F. Levins, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount lost his action after turning into the straight. The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Inteldream (GB), trained by J.F. Levins, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. A.J. Slattery, rider of Nostra Casa trained by D. K. Weld, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount missed the break out of starting stalls. (GC & EM)
