Re: Horse Racing
War in command performance.

Quote:
Royal Ascot hero War Command got his season back on track with a smart display in the Galileo EBF Futurity Stakes at the Curragh.
Aidan O'Brien's juvenile ran out a spectacular winner of the Coventry Stakes in June, but then suffered a shock defeat when only third in the Phoenix Stakes at this track a fortnight ago. Despite that reverse, he was an 8-11 favourite as he stepped up to seven furlongs.
Joseph O'Brien appeared content to give his pacesetting stable companion Friendship plenty of rope and there was a brief moment of worry for odds-on backers as Mustajeeb loomed up as a threat, but War Command quickly engaged overdrive to go by his pacemaker and put the race to bed.
