What has become a stellar season for three year old fillies, Don’t Doubt Mamma joined that select group when she put paid to her opposition in the MRC Foundation Plate, at Caulfield, on Saturday.

The win was quite impressive, she was travelling mid field for much of the race until it was time to get busy entering the straight, she finished her race off strongly and was drawing away when the post was reached.

Most likely she will miss the Prelude next Saturday at Caulfield and go to Flemington for the Manifold Stakes the following week, and the Thousand Guineas would then be ideal two weeks later

As a rule Tony McEvoy prefers to space his horse’s runs two weeks apart, it is a pretty sound formula.

Don’t Doubt Mamma is by Not A Single Doubt, purely a sprinter when he raced, yet it is not beyond him to get a runner up to a middle distance.

Her female line is beyond question, this is the family of Denise’s Joy, a wonderful dual purpose mare, she won a Derby and an Oaks, among the best families in the stud book, a filly from any of her daughters could be likened to a rare gem.
