Opening her career with a easy win at Durbanville in South Africa on Tuesday was three year-old Press Statement filly Kitty Cat Chat.

Trained by Brett Crawford, Kitty Cat Chat ran out an easy two and quarter length winner of the 1250m fillies and mares maiden.

Whats New Pussycat was exported to Ireland last year along with her second foal, a filly by Maurice (Jpn).
