A winner of the Listed Nottinghamshire Oaks S. last summer, the 6-year-old is likely to be covered by Australia (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), winner of the G1 English and G1 Irish Derbies and G1Juddmonte International in 2014. Mia Tesoro=s record currently stands at 27-5-4-3, $143,365. "She's been amazing," said her trainer Fellowes. "To think she came to the yard rated 57, and there she is running second in a Group 2 in Meydan, is remarkable. We went over to Dubai for that reason, to try to get some group placing. We achieved that- -here's nothing out there for her now. As far as I know, the plan is to bring her home, and she's probably going to be covered by Australia at Coolmore--and then we'll see. She could come back into training for a couple of months, or that could have been her Blue Point | DRC/Erika Rasmussen last race. We'll leave that up to the racing manager."

COMMANDS SIRELINE Being a son of Danehill from one of the most influential families in Australia, Commands was always going to get an opportunity at stud.

This is the same Courtessa family that's recently given us Cracksman and in the Northern Hemisphere. Moreover, Commands was the five-year younger full-brother of Champion 3-year-old and five-time Group 1 winner Danewin. Though there seemed to be gulf between the pair's race records, Danewin was rated 124 by Timeform, only three points ahead of his younger sibling. And there is little doubt as to which was the better sire, with Commands siring 77 stakes winners, compared to his older brother's 30. Commands had 39 group winners and Danewin 15.

Because the infected horses in the U.K. had raced at two different tracks and had come in contact with several horses that were stabled throughout the country, British racing officials felt it necessary to shut down racing until the situation was under control.
