The progressive mare Skelmorlie continues to enhance her future broodmare value, adding another polished victory at Elwick for Adam Trinder. Since joining the stable just over a year ago, the daughter of Needs Further has developed into a tough, consistent race mare with genuine upside — the exact profile breeders look for when assessing future matrons.

A dual Launceston night‑racing winner last spring, Skelmorlie has now recorded three career wins and banked $92,065, building a race record that complements her already appealing pedigree.

Skelmorlie is out of the French‑bred Wagga Wagga, a staying winner over 2800 metres, and her page carries serious international depth. Close relations include:

• Policy Maker — French Champion (2004)
• Persian King — European Champion Miler (2020)

It’s a family proven at the highest level across Europe, and Skelmorlie’s soundness, competitiveness, and progression only strengthen her long‑term broodmare credentials.

With her racing career still delivering results and her pedigree offering genuine black‑type appeal, Skelmorlie is shaping as a mare with significant residual value — the type breeders can confidently build a future around.
