Race 4 (2:15pm) – $200,000 Group 3 Ladbrokes Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) (1100m)

• 1st: Property
• 2nd: Pariah
• 3rd: Wait For No One

Jockey Craig Williams has a big decision pending on what horse to ride in the Blue Diamond Stakes in a fortnight after riding back-to-back Blue Diamond Prelude winners on Orr Day. One race after his success on the filly Catchy, Williams was aboard the impressive colts & geldings Prelude winner Property for Robert Smerdon. Not yet nominated for the Group 1, Property did lots right for his win on CF Orr Stakes Day from a three-wide position showing off a brilliant late turn of foot. He got there late and had a half-length to spare over the favourite Pariah with the pacesetter Wait For No One holding for third.

Race 3 (1:40pm) – $200,000 Group 2 Ladbrokes Blue Diamond Prelude (F) (1100m)

• 1st: Catchy
• 2nd: Limestone
• 3rd: Arctic Angel

The 2017 Blue Diamond Stakes is well and truly on the agenda next-up for the still undefeated Lindsay Park-trained filly Catchy who posted her third win from as many career starts with a gutsy late effort in the Prelude. Settled back off the pace by Craig Williams with the winkers on for the first time, the daughter of Fastnet Rock was really tested for the first time. She proved too good late though and hit the line savagely to defeat Limestone after a terrific battle to the line by the bob of the head. Arctic Angel was just off the top two in a solid third.
