Deep Field 2YO Quinella

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday June 30

Australia’s leading third crop sire Deep Field was quickly into stride at Warwick Farm on Wednesday siring the first two home in the juvenile fillies maiden over 1100m.

Trained by Gary Portelli and ridden by Brenton Avdulla, Sky Command had shown good ability in recent trials and was always in command when making her debut.

She quickly found the front and was strong to the line winning by two and a half lengths over another Deep Field filly Sneaky Paige, who was also making her debut and started favourite.
 



“She’s a very, very good filly. I told Brenton to ride her like the best horse in the race,” said Gary Portelli.

“I think she’ll get 1200m and during the winter there will be some nice races for her.”

A homebred for Bert Vieira and his family, Sky Command is the first winner for Love Commands, a winning daughter of Group III winner Sky Love from Stuart Ramsey’s famed Suggestive family that has produced horses like Group I winner Sky Cuddle and outstanding Group II winner Champagne Cuddles, the winner of over $1.4million.

Love Commands unfortunately slipped to Vieira’s champion colt Trapeze Artist last year, but now appears to be back in foal to the superstar son of Snitzel.

Deep Field is the leading third crop sire in Australia by winners and earnings.

Sky Command is another promising winner for Deep Field, who has sired well over 100 winners this season and stands at Newgate Farm at a fee of $88,000.
