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)! 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, he has proven himself as a top sire being the stallion with the most individual winners in Australia (10-11 season).

Being the third foal out of a stakes placed Carnegie mare there is plenty to be admired about him. Carnegie is the sire of Vision and Power, the dual Gr1 winner this season, and he is also the dam-sire of Whobegotyou, the Champion 3yo colt of Melbourne in the 2008-09 season.

A classic, later maturing son of Commands, Rule Number One has had his best success as a 4yo, though he wasn't a failure as a 3yo! He had a narrow defeat for 2nd at Newcastle. His first success was at Kembla Grange as a 4yo, he defeated two heavily favoured runners including stable mate Raging To Win, and payed over $14! His next start back was at Newcastle, a track we know he thrives at. It was one hell of a close finish, finishing 4th by 1.3 lengths! His next start back Rule Number One was ridden to perfection by Andrew Gibbons and displayed a gallant dash home to clinch victory by close to a length. Since then he has been a nose 2nd at Goulburn carrying 58kg. He will line up at Canterbury night races on Friday the 16th of December. Here he will be running over his longest trip ever, 1900m, and we're positive he will relish the jump in distance.
