The filly
This is a beautiful filly by one of our very best stallions out of a mare whose only runner THE GREY FLASH won the Group 3 SAJC Sires Produce Stakes. This filly really caught my eye at the Magic Millions National Sale where she was presented in the Yarraman Park Stud draft.
I was attracted to the filly for the following reasons:
• She is a lovely walking filly and vetted out without any issues. She is very strong behind and has a great hindquarter.
• She has a beautiful head, kind eye and is strong through the neck and down through the shoulder. She has a great girth.
• I have purchased a couple of excellent Commands progeny including the Group 1 placed Under Command and stakes placed Calming Influence. I regard this filly as easily being equivalent to those good gallopers as a type.
She is eligible for the Inglis Series and I have paid her up.
Commands
Unfortunately we lost Commands about a year ago. He has been one of our very best sires and in the past 5 years has been no further back than 7th at the completion of each racing season on the Australian Sires List. A few pointers on Commands:
• Commands is by Danehill out of the Eight Carat family which is one of the very best families in our studbook. He has been an outstanding sire with 118 stakes horses to his credit. He has been the Leading Australian Sire of Winners three times.
• The cross with More Than Ready mares works very well with Danehill line stallions with three Group 1 winners coming from this cross. Commands also works well in this cross..
• Commands daughters are sure to be well sought after as broodmares with him improving from 176th five years ago to 34th on the mares list as I write this. I expect in time he will be a top 10 broodmare sire particularly seeing who owns many of his daughters
Already
Already has already proven to be a successful broodmare with her second foal being a Group 3 winner. This is only her third foal with the other being placed in one of her two starts.
She is by Champion Sire More Than Ready who is proving a great sire of broodmares. The second dam is by another very good sire of broodmares in Unbridled Song. She has thrown the Group 2 Pago Pago Stakes winner Brightexpectations. The third dam is by Espina by Danehill.
I was very keen on The Grey Flash when she was offered at the Adelaide Magic Millions sale in 2014. Unfortunately she went above my budget at $90,000. I have watched her progress closely.
