Groovy (horse)
Groovy (1983–2006) was an American Thoroughbred Champion sprint racehorse known for his love of jelly donuts.〔(Thoroughbred Times - January 27, 2006 )〕 As of 2011, he is the last horse to break the 130 Beyer Speed Figure, accomplishing that milestone in his first two starts of 1987. In the Roseben Handicap at (Racetrack )], he earned a 131 rating, which he followed up with a 134 in the True North Handicap.〔(Beyer, Andrew ''Beyer on Speed: New Strategies for Racetrack Betting'', p.57 (1995) Houghton Mifflin ISBN 978-0-395-73523-7 )〕
Bred in Texas by Marshall T. Robinson, Groovy was out of the mare Tinnitus and sired by 1976 Canadian Horse of the Year Norcliffe, who was a son of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Buckpasser.〔(Groovy's pedigree )〕 Groovy was purchased at auction in February 1985 for $81,000 by Edith Libutti, the daughter of agent Ralph Libutti. Two months later, she sold the colt to New Jersey banker Theodore V. Kruckel.
==Racing at age two==
Groovy was handled by several trainers during his race conditioning period and his first season of racing. Trainer Jack Adams believed that the horse could not successfully compete at distances of more than seven furlongs, but Groovy's owner dreamed of running in the mile and a quarter Kentucky Derby〔(''Sports Illustrated'' - October 19, 1987 article In "The Groove At Long Last" )〕 and replaced Adams. Kimberly Hardy saddled the colt in his racing debut on September 2, 1985, and won the Forever Casting Stakes at Meadowlands Racetrack at a distance of six furlongs. With Adams back as trainer, Groovy raced four more times that year, with his best results coming at Belmont Park, where he ran second in both the Grade I Champagne Stakes (9¾ lengths behind winner Mogambo) and the Futurity Stakes. In each of these races Groovy took the lead from the start and tired badly.〔(Gulfstream Winner Groovy ), Ocala (Florida) ''Star Banner'', January 9, 1986〕
