No Urban Myth
Mark Smith - Saturday, 29 September 2012

Urban Groove had won nothing more than a maiden at Kembla Grange but such was her impressive debut punters sent her out a short-priced favourite in Saturday's Listed Reginald Allen Quality (1200m) and she didn't disappoint.

Bringing up the third winner of the day for trainer Gai Waterhouse, Urban Groove held off the fast finishing Brave Soul to earn her first stakes victory.

"She's a beautiful filly. She's like one of those leggy models, you can't take your eyes off her," Waterhouse said.

"She broke her pelvis as a two-year-old. It put her out for nearly a year."
Waterhouse signed the ticket for $240,000 to secure Urban groove from the Arrowfield Stud draft at the 2011 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling sale.


 

The daughter of Charge Forward is the fourth foal of the Flying Spur mare Morton a daughter of the top-class Heat Of The Moment (Blazing Saddles) the winner of the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes and Group 1 George Ryder Stakes.

Urban Groove becomes the seventh stakes-winner for Arrowfield Stud's Charge Forward . The Galaxy Stakes (G1) winning son of Red Ransom is currently covering his eighth book of mares at a fee of $24,750.
