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.
