A proven Blue Diamond formula has an astute stable confident their $71 chance in Saturday’s feature at Sandown is over the odds.
The Freedman camp have won three of the past four Blue Diamond Stakes courtesy of LYRE in 2019, ARTORIUS 2021 and last year with DAUMIER. Add to that in 2020 they went within a bee’s you know what when HANSEATIC just failed to nail TAGALOA and you get the feeling this stable know exactly what it takes to win Victoria’s premier juvenile event.
“He [Hanseatic] was probably the one we were most confident about,” stable rep Brad Taylor said.
“That day we also ran second with Super Seth in the Futurity Stakes. It was a tough day that took a while to get over.”
This year DE SONIC BOOM will be Freedman’s sole runner and like his past two Blue Diamond Stakes winners – will have a key gear change going into the grand final.
“She’ll get the blinkers on first time the same as Artorius and Daumier,” he said.
“She worked very well in them on Wednesday morning and we are surprised she is such big odds given she had a genuine excuse for her failure last start and won the Preview on debut before that.”
