Fresh from siring a Group II double at Randwick on Saturday with fast juveniles Tempted and Tentyris, Street Boss (USA) kept the ball rolling with another stakes-winner on Monday at Morphettville when four year-old mare Elphinstone landed the Listed SAJC Colin Hayes Memorial Cup (1600m).
Trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy, Elphinstone has been in good form with two wins from her past three starts and gained valuable Black Type for her resume when scoring a length and a half win with Jamie Melham in the saddle.
Elphinstone was a $200,000 Magic Millions purchase from Sullivan Bloodstock for McEvoy Mitchell Racing/Belmont Bloodstock Agency (FBAA)/ARJB Racing and has the overall record of five wins and seven placings from 18 starts with prizemoney topping $800,000.
“Big thrill. I knew this fella CS Hayes,” quipped Tony McEvoy, who was a foreman for CS Hayes back in the old Lindsay Park at Angaston days.
“She’s a very good mare by Street Boss. He’s had a good weekend.
“She gives everything in her races. We had her in the Matron Stakes (G3) on Saturday but this looked a better option. She was stakes placed, but now she’s a stakes winner.”
Elphinstone is the best of two winners from Inflection, a winning half-sister by Shamardal (USA) to stakes-winner Choice Words, the dam of stakes-winner I Am Eloquent.
Inflection has a yearling filly by King’s Legacy that sold in the Two Bays Farm draft for $160,000 at Inglis Premier last week to MyRacehorse / Lindsay Park / Belmont Bloodstock / Deane Hawthorne Bloodstock.
She had a year off in 2023 and was covered last spring by Cylinder after missing to Street Boss.
Elphinstone is the 80th stakes-winner for Street Boss, who is 21 this year and shuttled to Darley Victoria last spring covering 75 mares,
