DOER NOT A FAKER
Doer Not A Faker, a bay daughter of Diabolical racing for J. Kirk and Judy Robison of El Paso, Texas, led at every call in route to
a neck victory in the February 19, $100,000 Enchantress Stakes for New Mexico-bred 3-year- old Thoroughbred fillies at Sunland Park.
Ridden by Luis Fuentes for trainer Todd Fincher and racing under showery skies, Doer Not A Faker covered 1 mile in 1:40.80 on a track officially labeled “good.” The filly earned $60,000 from her first stakes win.

2007 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G2) at Saratoga and Emirates Airline Maryland Sprint Handicap (G3) at Pimlico.
Diabolical has sired 14 official black-type stakes winners and the earners of more than $10.1 million from 11 crops, including multiple stakes winners My Boanerges, Roll On Diabolical, Diabolical Dame, and Fast Gator, and stakes winners Mama Was A Rocket and Diabolical Ruler.

Doer Not A Faker’s second dam, Buy The Firm, was a Florida-bred daughter of 1978 Triple Crown winner Affirmed who won five graded stakes from 1990-91, including the 1991 Top Flight Handicap (G1) at Aqueduct.

on January 15. All told, the filly has won three of seven starts and has earned $89,347, of which $65,000 has been banked from two outs this season. Her 2-year-old record included a fourth- place finish in the October 30, 6-furlong New Mexico Cup Lassie Championship (R) at Zia
