This Saturday, Rosehill Gardens plays host to a unique day of racing, with the spotlight firmly on the $2 million Listed Five Diamonds, a premier event for the five-year-old stars. Run under set weights and penalty conditions, the Five Diamonds wraps up a series of age-specific features at Rosehill, showcasing the very best of Australian racing talent.
Among the leading contenders are Territory Express and Iknowastar, who finished first and second, respectively, in their last outing at Randwick. However, local trainer Chris Waller has a formidable trio in the race, including the talented Lindermann (ridden by Joao Moreira), 2023 Group 1 Epsom Handicap winner Rediener, and the highly rated Osipenko. Adding further intrigue, champion Queensland trainer Tony Gollan makes his mark with Freedom Rally (ridden by Tommy Berry), underscoring the growing prestige of the Five Diamonds as a coveted target for trainers across the nation.
While the five-year-olds take centre stage, don’t miss the exciting debut of the two-year-olds in the $1 million Group 3 Golden Gift. These young up-and-comers are already eyeing the ultimate prize—the Group 1 Golden Slipper in March, and a win here will all but guarantee their entry into the world’s richest two-year-old race.
Be sure to catch all the action at Rosehill Gardens this Saturday, where top-tier racing and fierce competition will make for an unforgettable day at the track!
