Commanding Jewel poised to step up and fill sister Atlantic Jewel's boots in Australian Cup Commanding Jewel is recovering from injury following her win in the Lets Elope Stakes in September. COMMANDING Jewel could be set for the race that her more famous three-quarter sister Atlantic Jewel would have been aimed at next year if she had not been forced into early retirement this week  the 2014 Australian Cup. In the wake of Atlantic Jewel's tendon injury, Brad Spicer, who bought and syndicated Commanding Jewel as a yearling before her superstar sibling won her first race, confirmed his mare would definitely race on again next year. Now a four-year-old mare, Commanding Jewel is recovering from injury following her win in the Let's Elope Stakes in September, but Spicer says she will carry on the family's remarkable success story. "The prognosis is all good with her, it is only a minor injury," Spicer said. To put it in human terms, it is just like a hamstring strain. It wasn't major, but it was enough to put her out for the spring. We've got two scenarios set for her next year. We could keep her in Melbourne on an Australian Cup (2000m) campaign or we could go to Sydney and run her in the Coolmore and the Doncaster and those sort of races. I do think personally that her best distance will be between a mile (1600m) and 2000m, but we haven't got her out to that yet. Commanding Jewel was purchased for $205,000 at the 2011 Magic Millions sales - a year after Atlantic Jewel was sold to Coolmore Stud for $340,000. She has won four of her seven starts, including last year's Thousand Guineas, for career prizemoney of $541,700. But she is worth much more as a broodmare. Atlantic Jewel has been retired after suffering a serious tendon injury. Atlantic Jewel will head to Ireland in February to be served by Frankel's sire, Galileo, and Spicer said that Commanding Jewel is also likely to be headed towards the breeding barns next spring. Already, there has been interest from leading studs, with a number of recent phone calls to Spicers Thoroughbreds seeking a possible sale. "We should have her around at least until next breeding season, but we will look at retiring her and finding a good home for her then," Spicer said. We are a group that is mindful that you don't want to overtax her. We want to see this (family) line go on. There has been quite a bit of interest from breeders, from some of the headline acts, to try to secure her. There have been a lot of people sniffing around. We had two agents ring in the last week, putting in offers on behalf of people, but we haven't got anything on paper yet.
