Trainer Bret Calhoun very much had misgivings when a storm blew in as his 3-year-old filly New Boss was in the paddock for Sunday s $60,000 Pea Patch Overnight Stakes at the RUNHAPPY Meet at Ellis Park in Henderson, Ky.

“I ran her once on soft turf at Keeneland and it didn t work out too good,” said Calhoun, who trains New Boss for Barry and Carol Conrad. “I was thinking soft turf is only going to get worse, that the only shot we had was a sealed racetrack that might be firm.”
