Commands grabs another Victory

Pierro five-year-old Victory Command has furthered hisrecord on his home track at Eagle Farm in determined fashion.

The Barry Lockwood-trained gelding made it two wins on thebounce over 1800 metres when he produced a tenacious display for his thirdvictory on the track and fourth overall.

We bred and sold Victory Command who settled midfield on therail and finished resolutely closest to the fence to account for his BenchMark70 rivals in the hands of Luke Dempsey.

“He’s been in great form and is such a cool horse,” saidEmma-Jane Vincent, who will shortly join Lockwood in a training partnership.

“We thought the weight (59.5kg) may get to him, but he dugdeep. Luke suits the horse and once balanced, put him through his gears.”

Raced by Ron and Judy Wanless, Victory Command is raced byprominent owners Ron and Judy Wanless and was secured out of our 2022 draft atNew Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $850,000.

He is a son of the English-bred Makfi mare Subatomic who isa half-sister to international stakes winners Worldly, Nice Danon and Donativum.

Subatomic’s Savabeel colt was purchased at Karaka in 2023 byChad Ormsby’s Riverrock Farm for $140,000 and as Unodostrescuatro has placed inall three appearances.

Hong Kong’s Karson Choi purchased Subatomic’s colt by HelloYoumzain for $120,000 at Karaka earlier this year and the mare is back in foalto our young shuttle stallion.
