The Tony and Calvin McEvoy team took training honours with a winning double scoring with Over Exposure and Coolth and they will aim both at feature races during the autumn carnival.
The Tony and Calvin McEvoy team will set Over Exposure for the Blamey Stakes also over 1600 metres at Flemington on February 26 after his comfortable win in the 1600 metres Open handicap.
“The writing has been on the wall with this horse and today, third-up to the mile, he’s been training so well,” McEvoy said.
He said Over Exposure was now a sound horse after battling niggling injuries early in his career.
McEvoy said Coolth was still learning about racing after he finished strongly to win the 2000 metres Benchmark 78.
He pointed out that the son of Dundeel was only having his seventh start and it was a big effort to win third-up
” He’s still very new to the racing game and everything he does, you could see when he came into the straight and tried to quicken, with his big action he went right up in the air,” he said.
McEvoy said they had a long range plan of the Adelaide Cup for Coolth.
