First Command confirmed his status as one of the country's most promising sprinters when he led home a Magic Millions trifecta in the listed The Heath (1100m) at Caulfield today.

A $170,000 buy for Hall of Fame horseman Lee Freedman at the 2007 Magic Millions Yearling Sale, First Command was sent out the popular elect with punters and he didn't let them down - cruising home for an easy win.

The son of Commands is unbeaten since a gelding operation, which followed his debut effort.

And Freedman was thrilled with the result. He did have some reservations before the race - thinking a couple of things were against his rising star.

"I was really happy. I was worried about the conditions of the race and then I was worried when the rain came - his really only bad run was on rain affected ground."

"He's very good horse I think. I'm just really thrilled with the horse. We thought the ground would be against him and he came through it really well."

While knowing he has to take another step up to tackle the country's best sprinters in the spring carnival's Group One events, Freedman knows there's plenty of improvement in his charge.

"These aren't the absolute guns but I think he's climbing the ladder pretty well and I know there's a lot of improvement in the horse."

"I have targeted the Salinger with him. I think that is a realistic goal," Freedman pointed out. "But he will tell me. Maybe we go bigger than that."

Stable rider Dwayne Dunn, who won earlier in the day aboard the South Australian raider Jaalippy, was equally as impressed with the performance and predicted bring things from the four-year-old.

"We didn't have him tuned up for today," Dunn said after weighing in. "He's got a big campaign ahead of him."

"From the wide gate we didn't know whether we'd run or what to do."

"He's going on to bigger and better things. Particularly if he can win this first up - he's going to go a long way this preparation."

The Heath's minor placegetters Masked Assassin ($70,000, GC Yearling) and Here De Angels ($90,000, GC Yearling) both ran well and look set to feature over upcoming features of the carnival.

First Command's record reads out well. Six wins from just seven starts and already his earnings sit at an impressive $189,538.

The winner, bred and sold by Gerry Harvey's Baramul Stud outfit, is a three quarter brother to the Hong Kong based group performer One World.

A son of Danehill Dancer, One World has won seven races in Hong Kong and has earned over HK$6 million. He was second in a Group Three Premier Cup and third in a Group Two Sprint Cup.
