First Stakes-Winner for Dubleo

Quality filly Dubleanny extended her outstanding record to five wins from just seven starts when she powered home to win the Listed $125,000 AR Creswick Stakes (1200m) at Flemington to become the first stakes-winner for her young Vinery based sire Dubleo (USA).

Sold by Magic Millions as both a weanling and yearling, she went into the race after a string of wins and 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 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 gutsy with 57kg, to find plenty over the last 200 metres."

Dubleanny had earned a break according to Price.

"She'll go to the paddock at Rockmount where she does all her spelling and pretraining."

She's had a good solid prep, I think 1400 metres will be fine for her

"She will be racing in black type from now on, but there's no target (next prep) yet."
