Trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy and ridden by Jarrod Fry, Leave No Doubt showed promise with a third in a recent trial at Caulfield and improved again on race day.

He surged between runners and worked home well on the inside to snatch a neck win in the 1000m scamper over Hello Romeo, who is by another first season sire in Hello Youmzain (Fr).

 

Bred and sold by Widden Stud, Leave No Doubt was a $160,000 Inglis Classic purchase for McEvoy Mitchell Racing / Belmont Bloodstock Agency and is the first winner from Elusive Melody, a winning half-sister by Your Song to Group III placed Crossing the Abbey from the family of stakes-winners City of Song and Songs of Vienna.

Leave No Doubt was a $160,000 Inglis Classic purchase.

Elusive Melody has a yearling colt by Dirty Work and has foaled this spring producing a filly by Portland Sky.
