About
Politely Dun is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Danny O'Brien in Flemington. He is by Dundeel out of Politeness. To date he has secured three victories, highlighted by a $150,000 3yo Open Handicap win at Flemington on 17 May 2025. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would yield a 19% return on investment.
