Godolphin’s foray into the public training arena has continued to reap new-season dividends.

Fresh from striking for the first time with Chris Waller at Rosehill last Saturday, Godolphin teamed up with Tony and Calvin McEvoy for a well-bred winner on Ballarat’s synthetic track on Thursday.

Immerse. a daughter of Frosted and a half-sister to Darley’s new-season sire Traffic Warden, held on bravely to clear maiden ranks under jockey Harry Coffey.

‘Most magnificent’ - The kid from Calca’s journey to SA racing’s greatest honour
From jockey to shearer to trainer to his home state’s Hall of Fame, Tony McEvoy has traversed the country in a 50-year career that will be honoured by the South Australian Racing Hall of Fame. He reflected on his racing journey with Matt Stewart.

She was placed in three of four starts during her juvenile term for James Cummings.

“That was fantastic. She's a filly with a very good pedigree - she's a half to Traffic Warden - so it's important that she goes to the races and performs," Calvin McEvoy said.

"We picked a fairly low kick-off point for her, but I didn't think she had all the favours today. 

"Fantastic to get the monkey off the back with Godolphin and I'm sure the guys will be happy.”
