Boogie Woogie picked up a valuable blacktype win when staying on strongly under Seamie Heffernan to land the Listed Thomas's Of Foxrock "Jim and Kathleen Murphy" Memorial Trigo Stakes at Leopardstown.
Winner of her maiden at Naas in April, the Aidan O'Brien trained filly had run with credit in group races on subsequent outings.
Making a relatively quick reappearance after finishing fourth in a Newmarket Group 3 just over a week ago, the daughter of Dubawi recorded the second success of her career.
Sitting in third just off leader Beechwood and race favourite Sprewell Heffernan moved up to challenge entering the straight, quickly going on over two furlongs out.
Staying on strongly inside the final furlong, the three-year-old held the strong late run of Sunchart Sprewell clearly ran as if something was amiss, weakening early in the straight and being eased.
Stable representative Chris Armstrong said: “She's a filly that has promised a lot all year but things just haven't gone right for her at times.
“She's ran some good races in group races and it's great to get the Listed win now.
“She's a filly with a lot of ability. Seamie said she didn't handle the ground but her class got her through.
“There has been no decision made yet about whether she'll stay in training next year or not. She has a very good pedigree and it's great to get the black-type.
“There might be a Group 3, or something, left for her but we'll see how we go.”
