Lee Gets Rebel Wave Up on the Line The Willie McCreery-trained Rebel Wave (4/1) was victorious in the Hailey Equine Fillies' Maiden under Billy Lee. Having travelled well throughout, it looked like the Ger Lyons-trained Stooked was set to take the contest, but the daughter of New Bay flashed home and managed to pick up well and edge out Stooked at the finish to record a head victory. Speaking after the race, trainer Willie McCreery said: "I'm delighted with that. She did nothing wrong in Limerick and has come on from that. If you don't win the next day, you're going backwards. She's won and I thought she fought well there to win. She's a hardy filly and she tries. She's going the right way. "She loved the ground there. The last day was soft ground, today was quick ground. I'm happy with that. We'll keep her in a fillies' handicap or look around for a bit of black type. We won't run her too often because she's not an over-big filly, but she tries very hard." (Quotes from John O' Riordan)
