Description
Polanski was rated the top Australasian Classic horse of his era, easily beating other champions such as Complacent, Thunder Fantasy and Criterion in the 2013 Victoria Derby.
A winner as a 2yo, Polanski displayed versatility and toughness throughout his racing career, with both stamina and speed in abundance.
A magnificent and imposing individual with a breathtaking physique, Polanski has the attitude to match and was an intimidating presence during a race.
Rakti, the sire of Polanski, was bred in Italy, and won six Group 1 races in both Italy and the UK. He was sired by multiple group race winner Polish Precedent out of the Rainbow Quest mare Ragera.
Citrium, the dam of Polanski, is a three-quarter sister to Ballroom Babe who was a champion NZ 2yo and the dam of stakes winners Just Dancing, Tahni Girl and stallion Hidden Dragon.
Polanski’s victories included:
Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m)
G3 Norman Robinson Stakes (2000m)
L VRC UCI Stakes (1800m)
MRC Routley’s 2yo H (1440m)
Polanski was considered favourite for the 2014 Melbourne Cup until injury tragically cut short his career.
Polanski’s foals are stamped with the same impressive physique and stature as their sire.
