Not A Single Doubt's chances of once again topping the
Australian 2YO Sires' list by winners didn't look great.
He had 15 juvenile winners at that stage, but
Snitzel (21 winners) and
I Am Invincible (20) seemed to have the battle for that particular title all to themselves.
Not A Single Doubt and his small army of 63 2YO runners (almost half of his 2012 foal crop) had other ideas. He's added eight new winners in 23 days to overhaul his two rivals and end the season on 23 x 2yo winners.
It's the second year running Not A Single Doubt has claimed the title of Australia's Leading Sire of 2YO Winners. He won the 2013/14 crown with a 15-year record tally of 25 individual winners.
Snappy One began Not A Single Doubt's push for the title when he on 7 July. He was quickly followed by
Scales of Justice in Western Australia on 9 July, and the impressive debutante
Tremezzina at Warwick Farm on 15 July.
A pair of weekend doubles in New South Wales, firstly
Not A Gypsy and filly
Shacked Up on 18 & 19 July, then
Let's Make It Rain at Canterbury &
Ice Cream Lady on 25 July put Not A Single Doubt's nose in front with 22 winners.
The popular son of Redoute's Choice drove home his advantage with his final winner for the season,
Love Goes On who bolted in by two lengths on debut at Wodonga on Wednesday 29 July.
Precocity is not the only weapon in Not A Single Doubt's arsenal. He posted a total of 27 wins worldwide in July 2015, compiled by 24 runners from four crops, at distances from 1000 to 1600 metres.
It's true that many of Not A Single Doubt's progeny cope well with rain-affected ground, so the winter is often fruitful for him, but he's a sire for every season and every month of the year. He added 63 wins to his record through the summer months of December, January & February, 27 of them coming in February alone.
Not A Single Doubt's first 2yos bred on a fee above $20,000 have contributed almost a fifth of the $6.9 million prizemoney that has secured him his first appearance among the
top 10 stallions on Australia's General Premiership list.
Not A Single Doubt made his debut among Australia's leading stallions in the season of 2014-15 finishing in ninth spot with earnings of $6.9 million.
He was fourth by winners (144) and also by wins (218).
Also is the Leading Sire of 2YO winners for the second consecutive year.
43 yearlings by Not A Single Doubt sold for an average of more than
$92,000 in 2015, with Gai Waterhouse paying his top price of $280,000 at Magic Millions Gold Coast for the full sister to her Group 3 winner and Golden Rose runner-up Squamosa.
However, his major earners have come from all three of his latest crops and have won major races from 1000 to 2000 metres: 4YO mare
Miracles of Life (3 wins inc. SAJC Robert Sangster S. G1 and $620,700), 3YO gelding
Sure and Fast (2 wins, $358,710, ATC Provincial Championship Final), 2YO filly
Single Gaze (city winner & stakes-placed, $341,750, 3rd, GCTC Magic Millions Classic (R) LR) and 4YO mare
Gypsy Diamond ($148, 550, ATC Japan Racing Association Plate G3 & two Group placings).
Not A Single Doubt made an excellent start to the new season when his 4YO son
Fell Swoop scored by 3 lengths on Saturday at Rosehill - his fifth win from 7 starts.
Dynamic Syndications purchased a fantastic filly by
NOT A SINGLE DOUBT from
CLOUDYGAZE at the Magic Millions Sales in 2015.
She has been syndicated and has received the racing name
UNMISTAKABLE.
On Sunday at Randwick the filly was paraded for her co-owners. Big things are hoped for from this filly.
Gai is particularly impressed with her to date as she told all the owners present. She is aiming towards the
Magic Millions.
There is
one x 5% Share that is currently available for $8,200 from an owner who wishes to sell due to personal reasons. This filly is outstanding value and in full work as she prepares for the early 2yo trials.
