Toowoomba jockey Nathan Evans made a triumphant return home when he landed imposing grey Factory Warrior ($5) a narrow winner of the $30k Rocky Amateurs Cup (1600m) at
Rockhampton’s Callaghan Park races on Saturday.
On a busy 10-race card where exciting and close finishes dominated, Factory Warrior won by a half-head from an unlucky and fighting Mr Phenomenal ($13) with The Tax Accountant ($4.40) a nose away third.
Factory Warrior is trained in Toowoomba, where Evans has been based for well over a decade by Mark Currie.
