Groovin proves a 'revelation' at ten furlongs Movin And Groovin powered clear in the closing stages to run out a convincing winner of the finale at Dundalk today. David Marnane’s charge had won twice at the venue before, over six and a mile, and was stepping up to this extended ten furlong trip for the first time. Nathan Crosse produced her to lead over a furlong from home and the 11/2 shot scooted clear of her rivals late on to record a six-and-a-half length success. The winner had been well beaten on the grass at Punchestown last time but was supported from 10/1 in the morning for today’s 0-70 handicap. Marnane said: "I stepped her up to a mile-and-a-quarter, and a revelation! "She loves the surface - she worked really well up here, and she won up here. "We wanted to give her one go at it (trip), I was a bit anxious about it. "I don't know what he is going to do now, the handicapper is going to have a say. She could be sold in one of those online sales, I'd say, or we'll see." (Quotes by Michael Graham)
