About
Commanded, a 4yo bay foaled in the United States and trained by Andrew Mckeever, is by Lord Nelson out of Katie's Garden. The horse has captured four wins to date. Its most notable victory came on 21 Jun 2025 at Churchill Downs, where it took the $69,000 Race 1. Over its career, Commanded has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing the horse from the start would have yielded a 34% ROI.
