Darby Racing’s Samadoubt has claimed the first Gr.1 of the 2019/20 racing season, landing a surprise win in the Winx Stakes over 1400m at Randwick.
The 6YO gelding (Not A Single Doubt x Isadora) defeated a stellar field containing seven individual Gr.1 winners much to the jubilation of his group of owners and trainer Bjorn Baker.
Darby Racing also secured the Rothesay half-sister to Samadoubt at this year’s Inglis Scone Select Yearling Sale, with the final shares in the A$38,000 purchase snapped up just 24 hours before the Winx Stakes.
Offered at the 2015 Inglis Classic Summer Book by Riversdale Farm, Samadoubt was bought for just A$40,000 by Darby Racing.
