Description
Field Commander is 3YO gelding by Epaulette, the sire of G1 winner Daumier.
He's had 8 starts for one victory, where he led all the way at Hawkesbury on a heavy 9 track over 1600m.
He has not re-captured that form in two subsequent starts in 2023, and the owners have opted to move him on to make way for other stock.
Field Commander will probably benefit from a drop in grade, or interstate/country racing.
Please contact David Payne for more information.
