Blue Diamond Stakes
Before the inception of the Blue Diamond Stakes, the premier two year old race in Melbourne was the VRC Ascot Vale Stakes. In 1966, after more than 100 years of history, the VRC removed the Ascot Vale Stakes from its spring program and did not reinstate it until 1969, when it was re-programmed as a three year old event.
This meant that Melbourne
was without a premier two year old, six furlong event to compete with Sydney’s popular
Golden Slipper Stakes.
In February 1971 the VATC
introduced the Blue Diamond Stakes and the new race quickly gained popularity
with Sydney and Melbourne owners eager to pit their autumn two year olds
against each other.
Trainers also got a good
indication from the Blue Diamond as to whether consideration should be given to
a Sydney campaign targeting the STC Golden Slipper Stakes.
Only four Blue Diamond
winners have gone on to complete the Blue Diamond/ Golden Slipper double.
1978 Manikato – 1986
Bounding Away – 1989 Courtza – 2011 Sepoy.
The most successful
trainer of Blue Diamond winners is David Hayes who has saddled up the winner on
five occasions: 1991 Canonise – 1995 Principality
2006 Nadeem – 2007 Sleek Chassis – 2008 Reaan.
The Blue Diamond has been a real family affair for the Hayes family with David’s father Colin, saddling-up the winner on three occasions:
1976 Out Of Danger – 1987 Midnight Fever – 1990 Mahassin.
2006 Nadeem – 2007 Sleek Chassis – 2008 Reaan.

Dwayne Dunn who has been aboard the winner on four consecutive occasions:
