Sporting the Elsa Stable livery, Ascot maiden winner Pensando A Te (Blackbeard) lurked in the shadows for the best part of Friday's G2 Betway Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket, but returned home in the spotlight after notching a first black-type winner for her Coolmore-based freshman sire in HQ's seven-furlong feature.The 15-2 chance broke in rear and tanked along at the tail of the nine-runner field through the halfway point of this stakes debut.Shaken up heading into the dip, she went sixth entering the final furlong and delivered an impressive power-packed burst up the hill to swamp Light Of Dawn (Showcasing) and Ruby Moon (No Nay Never) by a short-head and a head on the line.
