Not A Single Doubt filly breaks maiden at Hawkesbury
The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Stellar Pauline (3 f Not A Single Doubt - Negotiate by Red Ransom) - who finished second in four of her five starts as a two-year-old - finally got her head in front on Thursday as she broke her maiden in the Formation Maiden Plate (1100m) at Hawkesbury.
The daughter of Not A Single Doubt (Redoute's Choice) runner-up finishes included in the Sweet Embrace Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m), while the only time she finished out of the frame as a two-year-old when she ran fifth in the Magic Night Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) on what proved to be her final start of the season.
However, on Thursday she finally shed her maiden status with a two and a quarter length victory over Not Another Reiby (Denman) with Princess Glamour (Lord Kanaloa) finishing another two lengths adrift in third.
Co-trainer Paul Snowden confirmed they would look at stakes options in Sydney and Melbourne for the classy filly.
"Hopefully we can get back into the better types of races after this and be hard to beat," Snowden said.
Purchased by Stonestreet Stables for $875,000 at the 2019 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Stellar Pauline is out of the unraced Red Ransom (Roberto) mare Negotiate making her a sister to Robert Sangster Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Secret Agenda and a further six winners.
Negotiate herself is a daughter of Champagne Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Euphoria (Marauding) - who is the dam of five winners including Listed scorer Fleet (Dehere).
In 2018 Negotiate produced a colt by Redoute's Choice (Danehill), she is currently in foal to Arrowfield Stud's The Autumn Sun (Redoute's Choice) and the resulting foal will be a three-quarter brother to Stellar Pauline.
Not A Single Doubt's progeny are headed by 14 Group 1 winners, including this season's Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) Farnan and he was pensioned earlier this year due to his declining health.
