TRA American Champion Older Male Horse (1969, 1970) Leading sire in North America (1981)

Nodouble (1965–1990) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from 1967 to 1970, he won eleven races and was twice voted American Champion Older Male Horse by the Thoroughbred Racing Association.

Bred by oilman Gene Goff’s Verna Lea Farms in Fayetteville, Arkansas, he was out of the mare Abla-Jay. Damsire Double Jay was the 1946 American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt and a four-time Leading broodmare sire in North America. Nodouble's Australian-bred sire, Noholme, was the 1959 Australian Horse of the Year who took nearly a full second off the race record in winning the prestigious Cox Plate. Noholme was purchased in July 1960 by Gene Goff and brought to the United States where he raced until being retired to stud. Nodouble was trained by Bert Sonnier.

At age two, Nodouble was competitive in stakes races for his age group but did not record a significant win. As a three-year-old, he began to blossom into a consistently good runner. Nodouble had not been nominated for the 1968 U.S. Triple Crown series, but after he won the Arkansas Derby [1] owner Goff paid a supplementary fee to enter the colt in the second leg, the Preakness Stakes. Nodouble finished third behind winner Forward Pass and went on that year to win the first of two straight editions of the Hawthorne Gold Cup Handicap and to defeat the great Damascus in the Michigan Mile And One-Eighth Handicap.
