The Tony and Calvin McEvoy stable has a lot of affection for Bossy Nic who showed her love of the Flemington straight and soft ground in taking out the Flemington Long Lunch (1200m).
A winner over the course and distance at Stakes level at her second start, Bossy Nic has been a stable favourite for the McEvoy team.
“We love this mare,” Calvin McEvoy said.
“She won a Group race at her first start as a two-year-old with Dean Holland on board and she just grows a leg down the straight and grows a leg with a little bit of cut out of the ground.
“She’s very valuable and we’ve got to thank Jen and Mark Hinkey and the whole crew, they’ve been very patient.
“When you win a Group race with a filly at her second start and then it’s a little while between drinks, you’ve got to be patient.
“But she’ll get back to that and Beau (Mertens) rode her confidently and she was there for him at the end.”
McEvoy said upcoming Stakes races in Adelaide would be Bossy Nic’s upcoming program.
