The trainer is Kevin Philippart De Foy, who operates out of Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing, where the best yards in the country are based. His operation has sent out 41 winners already this season, which tells you this is not a yard making up the numbers. That kind of output takes organisation, quality horses, and a trainer who knows when one is ready to run. When a yard firing at that rate sends out a debutant, it is usually because they have seen enough at home to think the horse belongs on a racecourse.
With no previous races to look back on, Polarised is an unknown quantity — but that is half the appeal. Every unbeaten horse started somewhere, and first appearances from well-managed, speed-bred two-year-olds out of busy Newmarket yards have a habit of turning into something more interesting than they first appear.
