Politeness
(AUS)About
Politeness is a 14yo bay or brown mare from Australia trained by Robert Smerdon. She is sired by the stallion Street Sense out of the dam Berengaria. Having won at Group One level and earned $1,129,800 throughout her career, Politeness is considered an elite racehorse. On 31st Oct 2015 at Flemington, Politeness, ridden by Dwayne Dunn, achieved her most notable victory in the $500000 Myer Classic, defeating Fenway. She has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Politeness throughout her career would have yielded a 107% return on investment. Politeness has retired from racing, with her final race on 12th Mar 2016 at Rosehill Gardens.
