A $240,000 Inglis Premier purchase from Bhima Thoroughbreds for Anthony Freedman Racing / Blue Sky Bloodstock Pty Ltd, Ain’tnodeeldun was bred by Glentree Pastoral and is the best of two winners from stakes-winning Starcraft mare Ain’tnofallenstar, a half-sister to Group III winner Bachman and stakes-winner Stepitup from Group I placed stakes-winner Ain’t Seen Nothin.

Also in the family is Hong Kong trained Group I winner Stronger, standing his first season at stud with Aquis this spring.

Ain’tnofallenstar has a yearling filly by Ole Kirk, but no foal this spring after missing to the same sire last year.

Ain’tnodeeldun is the third stakes-winner this season for Dundeel, who has a key runner in the Cox Plate on Saturday in outstanding three year-old colt Militarize.
