Australia: Samaready stays perfect with Blue Diamond Stakes win

Dubai: Falls of Lora captures UAE Oaks

Falls of Lora looked like Godolphin’s second-string runner going into the UAE Oaks on Thursday at Meydan, but she ran down pacesetting Mary Fildes and won the Group 3, $250,000 race by 2 3/4 lengths.[bc_video_id:244824:]

While Falls of Lora triumphed, the Godolphin favorite, Pimpernel, spun her wheels. Always near the back of the pack, Pimpernel came home fifth, beating only one horse in a poor performance. Trainer Mahmood al Zarooni, who also sent out the winner, said Pimpernel was “too keen” early on.

Caulfield: Samaready heads Blue Diamond

Samaready, an Australian-bred filly by More than Ready, will be favored to win her Group 1 debut in Saturday’s $1.07 million Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield Racecourse in Australia.

The Blue Diamond Stakes is one of three Group 1 turf races on the Caulfield program. The Futurity Stakes for older sprinters will not feature Black Caviar. Unbeaten in 19 starts, Black Caviar was a candidate for the Futurity Stakes, but is being rested until April, trainer Peter Moody said earlier this week.

Black Caviar will pass on Golden Shaheen

Black Caviar, the Australian mare who has won 19 races in a row in top company, will be rested for several weeks and will not run in the Golden Shaheen in Dubai this year, her trainer, Peter Moody, told the Herald Sun of Australia.

According to Moody, Black Caviar’s main goal this summer will be the Diamond Jubilee Stakes on June 23 at Royal Ascot in England. She will likely prep for the race in April during the Goodwood meeting in England, Moody said, or in a race in early May in Australia.
