Pedigree Watch – UK- G1 2YO for Kingman

Tara Madgwick - Friday October 7

Last month we highlighted an exciting filly by Kingman that had Group I potential and that was fulfilled overnight when Commissioning won the Group I Newmarket Fillies Mile (1m).

The John and Thady Gosden trained filly made it three wins in as many starts when she backed up her last start win in the Group II Rockfel Stakes with a length victory over Lope de Vega filly Novakai.

 

Commissioning provided her veteran jockey Robert Havlin with his first Group I winner at the expense of stable rider Frankie Dettori, who is serving a suspension, but was delighted to see his friend take the win.

 

“Everyone loves Rab – you couldn’t find a better man and nobody deserves it more. The filly has got plenty of speed and is by Kingman, but the mother is by Galileo and she stayed well. We’ll see how she is in the spring and how she’s training, but she’s obviously a filly you’d look towards a race like that (1000 Guineas) for,” said co-trainer Thady Gosden.

A homebred for Abdulla Al-Khalifa & Isa Salman, Commissioning is the sixth Group I winner for Kingman and is bred very stoutly on her dam’s side being the first winner for unraced Galileo mare Sovereign Parade, a sister to dual Group I winning stayer Capri – Irish Derby, St Leger - and Group winning stayers Passion and Cypress Creek.
