"The Classic Juvenile"
The Blue Diamond Stakes is a Group 1 race for two-year-olds over 1200m at Caulfield. It is Victoria's premier juvenile race and often features Golden Slipper-bound horses.
First run in 1972, the race has produced many future champions. Notable winners include Machiavellian (1989), Sepoy (2011), and Written By (2019).
Caulfield is a tight-turning track that rewards tactical racing. Home to the prestigious Caulfield Cup, it serves as a major lead-up to the Melbourne Cup. The track's unique layout makes it a true test of a jockey's skills.
