THE success of King Cuan in the feature Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Race was the highlight of a quick-fire 83/1 treble for Billy Lee. The winner of some valuable prizes as a juvenile, the Paddy Twomey-trained four-year-old missed the entire campaign last year and was fifth on his return in April.

Expected to account for his two rivals and register a fourth career win, the Tasleet four-year-old was returned the 10/11 favourite. Owned by the Red Lily Racing Syndicate, the 96-rated victor raced in second and eased to the front with just under a furlong to go, keeping on well to score by two and a half lengths.
