Sweet Tipperary treble for on-fire Lee as Twomey's horses continue to excel

Billy Lee has been riding like a man making up for lost time since racing's resumption in Ireland and he plundered a 120-1 treble for three different trainers at Tipperary on Friday to take his tally to nine wins in just 12 days.

The Limerick native initiated his haul with an emphatic win aboard Jungle Jane (7-1) in the sprint handicap for Willie McCreery, before signing off with victory in the 10f equivalent on the Andy Oliver-trained 9-2 market leader, Silvertown.

However, the meat in the sandwich was doubtless the most exciting of the lot. Sunday Sweet announced herself a filly of some promise with a taking victory under Lee in the 7½f median auction fillies' maiden, in the process supplying locally-based handler Paddy Twomey with his third winner from his last four runners.
