Third Stakes Winner for Court Command

Mark Smith - Saturday June 10

Runner-up to Tactical Advantage at Doomben at her most recent start, All Over Bosanova reversed the decision in Saturday's Listed Daybreak Lover Stakes (1200m) on the same track although it was a close-run thing.

Given a positive ride by Luke Rolls, All Over Bosanova made all the running and had a trouble free run down the straight. The same could not be said for Tactical Advantage.

Glyn Schofield found the fence from barrier 13, however, a run did not materialise until it was too late.

With her first stakes win the daughter of Court Command advances her record to 5 wins and 1 second from 8 starts with earnings of $165,200.

Trainer Mel Eggleston said it was a just reward for the filly's owners.

"It's put a lot of value on the filly and her mother, Eggleston said.

"Mike Shannon (owner/breeder) is a great client, he's a big supporter and we've had such a great trot since we've linked up. I've won about 14 races for him. She's obviously the best one we've had but it's great to win races for blokes that put plenty in the bin.

"She weighs 410 kgs, how tough is she?

"She could measure up and win a good race if she gets a bit stronger."  

The homebred filly is the fourth foal of the unraced Towkay mare Sassy Vixen who is a sister to Starkay who won stakes races at Del Mar and Hollywood Park.

A Myboycharlie filly out of Sassy Vixen sold for $150,000 at this year's Inglis Classic Yearling sale.

Sassy Vixen has a weanling filly by Zoffany (IRE) and was bred back to Wandjina last spring.

All Over Bosanova comes from the final full crop of Court Command (Commands) and becomes the third stakes winner.

Following his untimely death at Wattle Brae Stud in September 2013, Court Command had just one foal in his final crop conceived that year.
