Commotion Swoops Late Again At Wolves

After gaining his first career win, Causin A Commotion looked like he had set the foundations to build upon. He hasn’t quite gone on from that performance but had been running consistently enough. Returning to Wolverhampton proved to be the key as Causin A Commotion came from last to first, taking the 6f Win £1M With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Handicap.

Rider restricted races were in place for this week of racing, which saw Oisin McSweeney booked for the ride. Drawn wide, in stall 8, Oisin immediately took action to shorten his journey. Dropping into the rear of the field, Causin A Commotion only had one rival behind him as he moved over to the rail. There was a blistering pace set up front as they raced down the back straight and into the bend.

Causin A Commotion found himself well off the pace as they raced around the bend but Oisin was sat patiently. The leader had the field well stretched from early on but passing the 3f pole saw them swinging towards the home straight. As they continually turned left the front runners were winding things up, maintaining the gallop. Oisin still had the entire field in front of him but remained still, waiting for his chance.

Moving into the final 2f the field began to enter the top straight with the jockeys working away, throwing their hats into the ring. With the field kicking off the bend, they gave Oisin some daylight and he quickly switched left towards the rail. Now he asked Causin A Commotion to quicken and the gelding responded. The pair immediately swept passed half of his rivals and looked to chase down the leader.

Oisin had no worries with a clear run up the inner so he put his head down and worked away. As they entered the final furlong, Causin A Commotion had cut through the field and only had a small deficit to the front runners. The 3yo was full of running and his momentum took him along to vie for he lead. Oisin was getting a fine tune from his mount and the pair edged to the lead with 50 yards to run. There was no time to respond so Causin A Commotion maintained his run, stretching out to take a neck victory his second of the all weather season.

Causin A Commotion has shown a great attitude in both his wins, overcoming big deficits to reel in his rivals late on. He had to be patient and not get involved in the early pace battle. Once he found his feet, Causin A Commotion showed a great turn of foot and the final stages of the race were his best. Although it was only a neck, he was worth a bit more and there will be plenty more opportunities for the 3yo to add to his winning tally.
