On the strength of these performances, Not A Single Doubt started a short priced favourite for the 2YO Magic Millions Classic however ran second behind that seasons Australian Champion Two Year Old, Dance Hero. Not A Single Doubt's campaign was cut short after the Todman Stakes due to a soft tissue injury in his off-fore leg and he would not race again for another ten months.[2]


2004/05: three-year old season

Not A Single Doubt was transferred to Melbourne trainer Tony Vasil. Majority owner John Messara explained, “We would like to make a stallion out of Not A Single Doubt, he is a speed horse, we believe Victoria offers an excellent suite of sprint races in the autumn."

Not A Single Doubt only had one more victory before being retired to stud when successful in the Zeditave Stakes when ridden by Kerrin McEvoy.[3]

Not A Single Doubt commenced stud duties at Arrowfield Stud in 2005 for a service fee of A$13,750.[4]

At the time of his retirement his service fee had increased to a career high A$110,000. Messara stated, "Not A Single Doubt is a wonderful story for Arrowfield and for many breeders, owners, buyers and trainers, rising from the bottom of our roster to become one of Australia’s most popular and successful stallions. We are immensely grateful to him, and he will be loved and cared for at Arrowfield for the rest of his life."[5]
