The animal of the Deleep Esreepersaud Stable out of Mahaicony with Jockey Kishawn Pereira in the saddles was just too good for its opponents on the day as it returned to winning ways.
As the horses were sent on their way in the seven furlongs event there was plenty of jostling and bumping before the runners settled down.
The race continued with Bossalina bidding its time before surging past the front runners to gallop away with an easy winner in the end.
With the win, Bossalina took away the $1.5M and the trophy. John Bull was beaten into second with Stolen Money with Stormy Victory claiming third and Beckham James, fourth.
