Blue Diamond Stakes
The Blue Diamond Stakes always arrives as one of the defining moments of the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival, with the 2026 edition set to be run in February at Caulfield Racecourse.
While the Blue Diamond Stakes is the feature race of the afternoon, Blue Diamond Day delivers a full card of elite racing. Multiple Group races headline the program, ensuring punters and racegoers are treated to a high-quality spectacle from the first jump to the last.
What: G1 2YO
Set Weights
1200M
When: February 21, 2026
Where: Caulfield Racecourse
The Blue Diamond Stakes itself is contested over 1200 metres under set weights conditions for two-year-olds, often serving as a key form reference for the Golden Slipper in Sydney.
Speed and early positioning are crucial at Caulfield’s tight-turning circuit, making barrier draws and tactical tempo vital components in shaping the result.
