Description

Selling to dissolve ownership group, Commanding Witness is a talented horse whose training and track gallops are much better than is race form. Horse is race fit and has had two runs in this prep. Horse is sound. Unfortunately the owners have lost patience.

Last year jumped out with Chuck a Luck (CW is leader in white jacket) and showed he can run, when he feels like it.
