The Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies) is a Melbourne Racing Club Group 3 Thoroughbred horse race, raced under set weights with penalties conditions for two-year-old fillies, over a distance of 1000 metres run at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia in late January. [1] Prize money for the race is A$250,000.
The race is considered a lead-up to the Group 3 Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies the following month and both races are used as lead-up races to the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes in late February at Caulfield. [1] The race is usually held on the Australia Day public holiday.
Along with this event the Listed race Blue Diamond Preview for colts and geldings is held on the same day.
Fillies that have captured the Blue Diamond Preview – Blue Diamond Stakes double:
Bounding Away (1986) and Miracles Of Life (2013)
Prior to 1996, the race was known as Blue Diamond Prelude (Filly) and was run at Sandown Racecourse, but was not to be confused with the Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies run at Caulfield Racecourse a couple of weeks later at a distance of 1,100 metres.
† The race was declared a "No Race" after stewards deemed two runners had gained a "flying start" after bursting through the stalls moments before the gates opened. [41]
