Neither inexperience nor a pre-race delay upset Cheyenne Warrior who increased Not A Single Doubt’s black-type tally to 8 in the LR Gold Sovereign Stakes (1200m) on Wednesday night.

Drawn widest in the nine-horse field, the 2YO gelding was driven hard out of the gate to take up the lead.  He settled kindly and set a good pace round the turn, then picked it up and headed for the line in generous fashion.

Cheyenne Warrior (2g Not A Single Doubt – Miss Argyle by Iglesia) didn’t flinch as the challenges came and won narrowly, but well from Kenjorwood (Snippetson) and Kencara Miss (Fastnet Rock).  The Launceston win following a successful debut at Sandown three weeks ago.

Cheyenne Warrior was bred and sold by Steve Tregea’s Windemere Farm and cost $80,000 at the 2011 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale.  He is raced by Anthony Freedman and is Not A Single Doubt’s fourth juvenile stakeswinner following Squamosa, Karuta Queen and Single Spice.

Arrowfield Stud’s Not A Single Doubt now has five Australian juvenile winners on the board this season, following the debut win of Substation at Doomben earlier on Wednesday.

Purchased by Brisbane Bloodstock as a weanling in 2010, Substation is from the Arrowfield mare Princess Shorna (Last Tycoon). She is the dam of 7 winners including stakeswinner Hidden Wonder and Group-placed winner Strong Choice.

Substation and Cheyenne Warrior are bred on a similar pattern, as Princess Shorna is by Last Tycoon, also the sire of Iglesia.  Not A Single Doubt’s sire Redoute’s Choice has a well-known affinity with daughters of Last Tycoon, a combination that has produced 7 stakeswinners from 39 foals, including G1 Dariana, G2 Master of Design, G2 Drumbeats and G3 Shaaheq.

Not A Single Doubt has 17 yearlings to be offered at next week’s Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale, among them Bellerive Stud’s colt from the winning Canny Lad mare Time to Move.
