Another Newcastle G3 Win for Gem Song

Tara Madgwick - Monday March 28

Ridden by Hugh Bowman and trained by Kris Lees, Gem Song came with a well timed late run to win by a length and a half.



Gem Song advances his record to seven wins and five placings from 22 starts with earnings in excess of $750,000.

Bred and initially raced by Gooree Stud, Gem Song now runs for a group of Australian Bloodstock owners and is a half-brother to stakes-winner The Omega Man out of the crack racemare Beautiful Gem.

A daughter of Peintre Celebre (USA), Beautiful Gem won nine races highlighted by the Group II Sunline Stakes at Moonee Valley.

Now retired, Beautiful Gem is a daughter of the Group III Black Opal Stakes winner and Group I Golden Slipper runner-up Just Blooming.

Gem Song is one of four stakes-winners for Widden Stud’s quiet achiever Your Song.
