BLOOD DIAMOND
5g : O Duffy : Hawera
12 starts : 3 wins : 2 places
Win distance range : 2000m - 2100m
Track conditions won on : Fast/Good : Slow
This bloke isn't from a well known stable but he's certainly a very useful middle-distance type who'll begin to apply his trade among the hack ranks in the near future. The son of Diamond Express kicked off his current preparation in less than inspiring form but improved to narrowly defeat an R70 line-up on November 18. But it was his most recent effort that attracted my immediate attention when he defeated similar class rivals on Manawatu Cup day in mid-December.
