This Easter sale purchase selected by John O'Shea, is from the renown Hunter Valley farm in Yarraman Park Stud (think Rewaaya, Snitzel, Amelia's Dream) is a real coup! He is big, loose walking Commands colt and is a stunning individual to look at with a deep girth and fantastic hindquarter.

Commands needs no introduction, just consider Court Command, Posadas, Undue, Paratroopers, Marching and Purple to name a few.

Being the third foal out of a stakes placed Carnegie mare there is plenty to recommend him. Carnegie is the sire of Vision and Power, the dual Gr1 winner this season, and he is also the damsire of Whobegotyou, the Champion 3yo colt of Melbourne.

With 4 Gr1 winners on the page and wins from 1100m to 3200m, there is scope for this colt to reach great heights on the track.

Rule Number One has grown and filled out during his last break and looks to still be maturing. He is an awesome animal to look at so we have high hopes for him as a 3yo. We trialled him in August and he did extremely well, coming a close third. Unfortunately, He started to feel his shins which is not unusual for a 2yo gelding of his size, and a little bit of patience will reap benefits with him as he showed good progress in his work before going shin sore. He continues to spell and gain weight before returning to John, with an optimistic future.
