Horse&Hound magazine confirmed the birth and existence of a second clone of Gem Twist. This was nicknamed Gem Twin (originally, a nickname also given to Gemini). He was sold to new owner Olga White, and the Chapot's website confirms that he will be stationed at stud in Europe, under the management of Peter Charles.
On July 5, 2012 it was revealed that the new colt's official name would be Murka's Gem and that there were no plans to compete him, only to have him stand at stud.

“For often at Church I’ve seen the stained high glass
Pour out the Virgin and Saints, twist and untwist
The mortal youth of Christ astride an ass.”
