After riding a double at Galway yesterday on his return from a collarbone injury, Billy Lee notched another winner when Black Caviar Gold (10/3) took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Cork.

Beaten seven lengths on each of her first two starts, the daughter of Havana Gold was tackling soft ground for the first time. In the front rank throughout, she led over 2f out and kept on well to beat River Ara by three lengths.

Paddy Twomey, who trains the winner for Bond Thoroughbred Limited, said "She is a nice filly and I thought she ran well on her debut in Galway. To be fair to Billy (Lee), he told me the ground was too quick for her here the last day but I wanted to run her to give her the education.

"It is great to have Billy back and this filly had been in good form since that last run, which had good form. Maybe something like the Weld Park Stakes might suit next."
