Commissioning powers home to claim Rockfel rewards
Newmarket victor enters Classic reckoning for Gosden team.
Commissioning shot towards the head of ante-post lists for next year’s 1000 Guineas after maintaining her unbeaten record with a stylish display in the Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket. The daughter of Kingman was seemingly not all that well fancied for her July Course debut during the summer, but could hardly have been more impressive in the hands of Frankie Dettori. With the popular Italian sidelined by suspension, Rab Havlin took over in the saddle aboard John and Thady Gosden’s filly for her step up to Group Two level and she was a 7-2 shot to make it two from two. Always travelling strongly, Commissioning went through the gears quickly once popped the question and never really looked in any danger once going clear of the chasing pack.What a prospect John Gosden has got on his hands here 😬
