About
Bossy Benita is a 5yo brown mare from Australia, trained by Michael Mehegan in Mornington. She is by the stallion So You Think out of the dam Bossy Woman. As a stakes winner with $419,400 in earnings, she is regarded as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 21 Feb 2026 at Caulfield, ridden by Daniel Stackhouse, she captured her most significant win to date, the $200,000 Mannerism Stakes, defeating Butternut Princess. She has been a profitable horse for punters; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 23% return on investment.
