Wattle Brae freshman Court Command hit the ground running with an interstate double on Saturday.

Court Command’s first-ever winner arrived at Morphettville when Little Critter (ex Gotha by Rustic Amber) scored an odds-on victory in the Junction Cup Lunch Plate (1000m).  

The Tony McEvoy trained colt is a half-brother to 8 winners headed by G3 Gold Coast Guineas winner Chakvetadze (Taimazov).  He cost $40,000 from Murrulla Stud at the 2011 Gold Coast Magic Millions.

Court Command doubled up at the Toowoomba night meeting with Robert’s Command in the XXXX Gold 2YO Plate (1000m).  He was a $7,000 buy out of the Gainsborough Lodge draft at the 2011 Brisbane Bloodstock Sale.

Robert’s Command (ex Ludgate by Lyphard) is a half-brother to 4 winners.  His dam was stakes placed at Longchamp and she is a three-quarter sister to South African G1 winner Kundalini (El Gran Senor).

Court Command won to Group 2 level in the AJC Stan Fox Stakes and his fee at Wattle Brae has risen from $8,800 to $13,750 since retiring to Wattle Brae in 2008.
