Katie Mai Gets there on 'track' debut

Getaway Katie Mai swooped late to land the spoils on her 'track' debut in the concluding bumper at Ballinrobe this evening.
John Queally 's charge had finished runner-up on her sole point-to-point start at Lemonfield back in March and was sent off a 7/1 shot on her first start under rules. Pocket Dial and Motown Girl fought it out passing the furlong pole but both were trumped close home as Getaway Katie Mai got up for a three-parts-of-a-length success.
"She had a brilliant run in her point to point and to be honest you can see the size of her, she's not big and she ran in absolutely horrendous ground in Lemonfield, when it was borderline unraceable the same day,” said Codd.
"She's not the worst filly in the world and they'll have a lot of fun with her. We didn't go quick enough for her as he has loads of pace and was good value for that win. She's a nice filly."
