Quality filly Dubleanny extended her outstanding record to five wins from just seven starts when she powered home to win today’s $125,000 AR Creswick Stakes (1200m) at Flemington.
The Dubleo filly, sold by Magic Millions as both a weanling and yearling, went into the race after a string of wins and she extended that streak with a valuable first time stakes victory.
The filly is prepared at Caulfield by Mick Price and after getting back in the field she was able to reel in her rivals and win by a widening long head margin.
Price said the performance of Dubleanny was outstanding considering she was a touch slow and then was badly chopped out by runners
“She could be half a length slow but she doesn’t need to be sandwiched like that, especially fillies carrying 57kgs.”
“I was a bit concerned, I was glad it was every bit of 1200 metres put it that way.”
“I just think that it was really gusty with 57kg, to find plenty over the last 200 metres.”
Dubleanny had earned a break according to Price.
“She’ll go to the paddock, she’s done her job as a three-year-old filly.”
“She’s had a good solid sort of prep.”
“I think 1400 metres will be fine for her.”
“She be racing in black type from now on, but there’s no target (next prep) yet.”
Winning rider Steven Arnold was suitably impressed with the performance.
“She didn’t begin brilliant away and the outside (horse) jumped in a little bit and the inside (horse) got out a bit and she copped a bit of a check, but she probably ended up in a similar spot to where I wanted her.”
“Darren Weir’s horse really kicked hard inside the final furlong but I thought it was a great effort overall.”
“She sustained a big couple of furlongs today so it was a top effort,” Arnold summed up.
Dubleanny ($2.30-$3.50-$3.40 fav) got home under Steven Arnold to beat Broken ($4-$4.20-$3.90) by a long head.
Another three and three quarter lengths back in third place was the David Hayes trained runner Alkhafif ($15-$18).
Dubleanny was first offered to the public at the 2007 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale when she was snapped up out of the Torryburn Stud draft for $34,000.
Offered by Murrulla Stud at the 2008 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale she was purchased by the Vinery Stud team for $65,000.
As it stands her outstanding record reads out at five wins and a placing from just seven starts with earnings of over $225,000.
A member of the first crop of Southern Halo’s group winning sire son Dubleo, Dubleanny hails from a family renowned for producing high quality fillies.
Dubleanny’s dam Uncanny Lady, an unraced daughter of Canny Lad, is from an unraced Bluebird sister to Race Master and half sister to VRC Oaks winner November Rain and group winner Star Style Girl.
At stud November Rain has thrown the South African Oaks heroine Stormy Hill – she in turn is the dam of the Melbourne and Brisbane stakes winner Bridal Hill.
Star Star Girl, who won stakes races in Adelaide and Melbourne, is the dam of the Group One winning New Zealand based sire San Luis
