72 for Not A Single Doubt

Instant Celebrity is SW72 for Not A Single Doubt and his 11th this season after winning the Oaklands Plate (1400m) at Morphettville.

Forced to race wide in a slowly run race, Instant Celebrity let down with a big turn of foot in the home straight to go clear inside the final 100m, defeating The Brumby (Spirit Of Boom) and Another Award (Shamus Award).

A half-sister to Melbourne winner Pirapala (Sepoy), Instant Celebrity is the third winner out of dual Listed winner and Gr2-placed Celebrity Girl (Starcraft), a half-sister to Gr3-placed Lady Lakshmi (Lonhro) and Listed placed Albaicin (Redoute’s Choice), the dam of Gr3 winner and Gr1-placed Generalife (Lonhro).

The granddam Dashing Granada (Keltrice) won the Listed Waltzing Lily Stakes at Flemington at two and placed in the Gr2 Edward Manifold Stakes at Flemington at three, she a sister to Gr3 winner Northeast Sheila, the dam of Listed winner Jacqueline Rouge (Ne Coupez Pas).

Not A Single Doubt was retired from active service at Arrowfield Stud earlier this year due to pulmonary disease.
