A storm blew in with the 3-year-old fillies in the paddock for Ellis Park's $60,000 Pea Patch Overnight Stakes, the deluge of rain ultimately forcing the race off the turf and onto 5 1/2 furlongs on dirt. That proved just fine with New Boss, who splashed to six-length victory over her co-favorite Southern Grayce. We catch up with trainer Bret Calhoun and jockey Adam Beschizza.
