Boogi Goes Three Straight In Style PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 03 December 2008

The winning form of the Mark Kavanagh stables in Adelaide rolled on its merry way on Saturday when promising stayer Boogi on the Grass thrashed her rivals in the Tooheys Handicap (2022m).

Despite being sluggish out of the barriers and getting well back in the field, Boogi in the Grass was able to sweep around the field when leaving the back straight and by the time she reached the home turn - the race was over.

Stable foreman Sam Kavanagh was thrilled with the performance - an effort which extended a golden run for the Morphettville base of the Fred Hoysted Medallist Mark Kavanagh.

"She's done a great job since coming across to us in Adelaide," Kavanagh Jnr said. 

"She certainly looks to be a stayer on the rise."

At the post Boogi on the Grass ($1.90 fav) still had four and a half lengths to spare despite being eased down by Simon Price.

Wendy Ellen ($3.80) was second, while Southern Fortune ($31) was another long neck back in third place.

"It was a really good win. She picked them up very quick and Simon said after she zipped clear in the straight she wanted to switch off a bit."

Kavanagh said the six-year-old mare would be out to extend her winning run to four over the festive period.

"She will have her next start at Cheltenham on Boxing Day," Kavanagh confirmed. 

"The race is the final of the Going the Distance series."

"It's a $30,000 Class 5 event over 2250 metres - it looks right up her alley," he added.

Boogi on the Grass has developed into an exciting performer since landing in Australia and placed in the care of Kavanagh.

She had raced on eight occasions in New Zealand with her best performances being two maiden race third placings.

With Kavanagh the mare has raced on five occasions for three wins and two minor placings.

Boogi on the Grass, by Japanese group performed stallion Yamanin Vital, is one of two winners from the stakes winning mare Renee.

A daughter of Cautious Style, Renee won seven races during her career including the Group Three Stewards' Stakes.
