The Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) is a Group 2 race for two-year-old fillies held at Caulfield Racecourse on CF Orr Stakes Day in February during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.

The meeting is headlined by the Group 1 C.F. Orr Stakes (1400m) and features a host of other Group status races including the Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) and the Group 3 Blue Diamond Prelude (Colts & Geldings).

The Blue Diamond Fillies Prelude is run over 1100m and offers $200,000 in prize money. The set weights clash is a traditional lead-up to the Group $1.5 million Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) held back at the Caulfield track a fortnight later. Recent winners of the Blue Diamond Fillies Prelude – Blue Diamond Stakes double include Lyre (2019), Catchy (2017), Earthquake (2014) and Samaready (2012).

Many of the fillies in the Blue Diamond Fillies Prelude field will be kicking off their autumn campaigns. Some may have had an earlier lead-up in the Group 3 Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies) run over 1000m at the track in late January.

The Neds Blue Diamond Fillies Prelude 2021 runs on Saturday February 6, 2021.

Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) History

The Blue Diamond Fillies Prelude has been run and won since 1982 when it started out as a Listed race. It gained Group 3 status in 1986 before being run as a Group 2 feature since 2015.

For one year in 1996 it ran at Sandown Racecourse, but all other editions of the now Neds.com.au sponsored event have run at Caulfield Racecourse.

Notable recent Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies winners include Lyre (2019), Cathy (2017), Earthquake (2014), Samaready (2012), Alinghi (2004) and earlier in the race’s history Courtza (1989). The 2017 Blue Diamond Fillies Prelude winner Catchy went on to beat the boys in the Blue Diamond Stakes results next start as did Lyre two years later. Lyre also backed-up from her Blue Diamond Stakes win in 2019 to finish third next start in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) in Sydney that March.
