Getaway With You

The partnership with jockey Nick Slatter is the most striking number in the whole file. Together they've won 4 of their 11 races — that's winning roughly 1 in every 3 times they team up, which is a remarkable figure at any level of the sport. For context, even the very best jockey-horse combinations rarely sustain that kind of ratio over 11 races. When Slatter gets the leg-up on this horse, something clearly clicks.

Lingfield Park is where Getaway With You looks most at home, winning 2 of just 5 races there. That's 40% — nearly 1 in every 2 — which for a horse that otherwise wins 1 in 9 is a dramatic difference. Its very first career win came at Lingfield back in November 2025, and it has kept coming back to score there since. Tracks can suit horses for all sorts of reasons — the shape of the course, the way the ground drains, the cambers on the bends — and whatever Lingfield offers, this horse drinks it in. Most recently it won at Chepstow eight weeks ago, so it arrives at its next race in form rather than chasing a distant memory.

The wet stuff suits it too. On soft or muddy ground it has won 4 of 22 races across both conditions — roughly 1 in every 5 to 6 outings — which is noticeably better than its overall record. Trained out of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire by David Killahena and Graeme McPherson, whose yard has already sent out 18 winners this season, Getaway With You competes mainly at Class 5 — the bread-and-butter level of the sport. That's where it belongs, and at that level, on a wet day at a track it likes, with Slatter in the saddle, it is genuinely difficult to dismiss.
