Sent out at less than odds on following a debut second, the 2-year-old son of Not A Single Doubt sat
in fifth spot before peeling wide near the turn. He ambled to the front 150 metres from home and
drew clear under a kind ride from Leith Innes to win with authority.
Doubtful Sound’s ownership group includes Waikato Stud and was purchased as part of a colts’
syndicate with trainer Tony Pike and Raffles Racing purchasing him at the Magic Millions Gold Coast

Group 1 performers Frolic, Bam’s On Fire and Shovhog all feature in the first two generations of this
pedigree.
