A stakes-placed mare by Not a Single Doubt that was bred and retained to race by the Hutchins family of Element Hill, Single Blonde was bought by Tom Magnier.

She is a half-sister to Group III winners Boognish and Colour from stakes-winner Regrowth, whose stakes-winning dam True Blonde is from influential producer Easy Date, whose descendants include Golden Slipper winner Forensics and Group I winners such as Snippets, Oohood and Kings Legacy, not to mention her sire Not a Single Doubt.

Single Blonde has already made her mark at this sale with her second foal, a filly by I Am Invincible, topping the weanling sale for Element Hill when fetching $800,000 to the bid of Hill 'n' Dale Xalapa/William Johnson Bloodstock.

Top lot at the weanling sale was the I Am Invincible filly from Single Blonde.
