The rising three-year-old, valued in at almost $3m, died suddenly on Tuesday morning but McArdle was keen to remind well-wishers of the tragedy that unfolded at Bendigo when trackrider Donna Philpot, the wife of trainer Gus Philpot, died after a fall in a jumpout.

McArdle was thankful his staff members were uninjured in a series of tweets acknowledging Doubt I'm Dreaming's passing.

Doubt I'm Dreaming had two starts for a brilliant win at Moonee Valley on debut in the Listed St Albans Stakes and a third to Kobayashi in the Listed Redoute's Choice Stakes (1200m) in the autumn.

Doubt I'm Dreaming's Moonee Valley win convinced the China Horse Club and Newgate Farm to purchase a significant share in the son of Not A Single Doubt which valued the colt at almost $3m.
