Danehill POLISHED GEM b 03 Trusted Partner
Named Broodmare of the Year in 2015, on the strength of the Group successes of Sapphire, Custom Cut and Free Eagle, Polished Gem has continued to shine brightly. She has added three more black-type winners to her tally in the form of the Australian-based Valac, Falcon Eight and Search For A Song. Search For A Song followed Free Eagle as Polished Gem’s second Gr1 winner when she landed the Irish St Leger on only her fifth start, less than four months after her winning debut. Polished Gem’s outstanding success as a broodmare, which also includes winners of the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes and the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, is a reminder that racing and breeding can be very unpredictable. Polished Gem is one of two winning Danehill fillies produced by the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Trusted Partner. The other, Dress To Thrill, won half of her 14 starts, enjoying Group/Graded success in Ireland, Britain and the USA (Gr1 Matriarch Stakes), whereas Polished Gem won only a sevenfurlong maiden. It therefore looked a safe bet that it would be Dress To Thrill who was destined for stardom as a broodmare. However, Dress To Thrill’s six foals included just two winners, neither a black-type earner. Search For A Song’s Classicwinning second dam, Trusted Partner, was bred to excel. By the American Triple Crown winner Affirmed out of dual Gr1 winner Talking Picture, Trusted Partner was the third of four stakes-winning sisters, the others being Easy To Copy, Epicure’s Garden and Low Key Affair. This is also the family of the French Gr1 winners Gallante and Vert de Grece, and of the smart stayer Forgotten Rules, whose victories included the Gr2 British Champions Long Distance Cup over two miles. Search For A Song can also be expected to stay two miles, the distance of her brother Falcon Eight’s Listed victory. 296 DERRINSTOWN FLYING FIVE STAKES G1 CURRAGH. Sep 15. 3yo+. 5f.
