"Won't
be beaten" was the verdict from jockey Jason
Lee, quoted on trainer Gai Waterhouse's
blog, after riding Urban Groove
on Tuesday.
That judgement proved spot on when the 3YO daughter of Charge
Forward and Morton (by Flying Spur) bolted in by 5 lengths
on debut at Kembla Grange on Saturday.
In the process she posted a time of 33.39 seconds for the last 600 metres.
Recoinage (Flying
Spur -Sovereign Duchess by Last Tycoon) completed an
Arrowfield-sired quinella.
Bred and sold by Arrowfield, Urban Groove was a $240,000
purchase by the Waterhouse stable from the 2011 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale.
She displayed abundant ability in training early last season and was on the
Magic Millions trail until an injury ended her campaign. An easy win and a
placing in two trials last month indicated she had lost none of her talent,
which will no doubt soon be seen in city company.
Morton, a city-winning daughter of dual Group 1 winner Heat of the Moment, has
a 2YO full brother to Urban Groove and a yearling colt by All
American who, like Charge Forward, is a Danzig-free son of
Red Ransom. Morton is due to foal again to All American this spring.
Urban Groove is the 10th winner from 16 runners bred on the Charge
Forward/Flying Spur cross, also responsible for G1 Headway, G1-placed stakeswinnerFort Lincoln & G2-placed
winner Road Trippin'.
Charge Forward, the sire of five Group 1 performers among his 15 stakes
performers, stands at a 2012 fee of $24,750 inc. GST.
