Instant Celbrity is the 15th Gr1 winner for Not A Single Doubt winning Saturday’s Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) for fillies and mares at Morphettville.
Instant Celebrity enjoyed a rails hugging ride from Craig Williams, smothered away along the rail and worse than midfield approaching the home straight, Williams stayed near the fence and Instant Celebrity was able to come through and split horses inside the final 200m to score.
It is the fifth win from seven starts for the three-year-old and her second Group race victory following the Gr3 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield last year.
