Pensando A Te (2f Blackbeard - The Gold Cheongsam, by Red Clubs) became the first Group winner for Blackbeard with a game victory in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket on Friday. The Marco Botti-trained juvenile had run out a comfortable winner of her second start at Ascot this month and she took the step up to Pattern company in her stride. Ridden by Silvestre De Sousa, the daughter of Blackbeard settled in rear before making headway on the near side over a furlong out. She ran on well to lead in the final strides and score by a neck. In third was Ruby Moon (by No Nay Never). Botti said: “It's always nice when you have a two-year-old who does well at the back-end of the season. I thought we were maybe rushing her on a little bit, but we always thought we had a nice filly. “We were confident when she ran first time out and she ran a good race and she's progressed nicely since then. At Ascot I thought she did it nicely in a small field and today stepping up to seven furlongs the plan was to get her settled and come with a late run. “I didn't think she had got there and my first impression was we got beat. She's a nice filly for next year.” He added: “She has the ability to be a Classic horse. There's a lot of speed in the family, but it was nice to see her settle well in the pack and that probably will help her get the extra furlong for the mile. “I think we'll train her with a view to being a Classic filly next year and see how she does through the winter. I'm sure that will be her now [finished] for the year and we'll give her a nice break. She's still a little on the weak side and not the finished article." Pensando A Te was bred by Chasemore Farm.
