Diamonds poised to sparkle in listed company

Diamondsandrubies might be capable of stepping-up on her recent maiden success in Tipperary to land the listed Irish Stallion Farms Salsabil Stakes in Navan today.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained filly is a daughter of Fastnet Rock and Quarter Moon, winner of the Moyglare and runner-up in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, Epsom Oaks and Irish Oaks in 2002.

And, having caught the eye on her debut at Leopardstown last September, when a tenderly-handled sixth behind Tamadhur, she impressed on her three-year-old debut in Tipperary, quickening-up to beat the well-regarded odds-on favourite Chinese Light readily.
