Kaitlins Joy s reluctance to load saw the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Race go off almost four minutes late but she performed where it mattered most under Padraig Beggy to prevail by two lengths.

The daughter of Mark Of Esteem came home strongest in the final furlong to beat Monivea Odds-on favourite Julie's Jet was pushed along from before the straight and could only manage third place.

Winning trainer, Pat Martin said: "Your heart would be in your mouth at the start. She had been working well but I was afraid of the ground. She done it well though and she gets a mile and a quarter.

"Small fields suit her well but we may run her over hurdles in an attempt to sweeten her up. That's Padraig's second winner since he lost his claim so he is off to a great start."
