Pharos Freedoms gives Lee a treble and Twomey a double Starspangledbanner colt Pharos Freedom (7/2) made a winning debut in the Tipperary Town Maiden over an extended 1m4f to seal a treble for Billy Lee and a double for Paddy Twomey. He was nudged along to take over into the straight and found plenty in the final furlong to keep a staying-on Ardashir (11/1) at bay by a length and three-quarters. Factual Fact occupied the third place at 10/1, as 8/13 favourite, and Irish Derby entrant, Kilmeaden disappointed in fourth. Twomey and Lee also combined with Rogue Legend while the jockey also won aboard Shoney for Willie McCreery. Twomey said: "He quickly recovered from his slow start as they gave him a chance and was with them by the top of the straight (first time around). "He is a good, tough horse and he had done all his work with Carmers, who won at Ballinrobe and at Navan. They had been working equally well together, so we had an idea we had a nice horse. "He is out of a Galileo mare and I think he will stay well. Going up in trip wouldn't be a problem when he gets more experience, but we'll take our time." Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
