The Five Diamonds is a recently-created Special Conditions run run at Rosehill Gardens for the first time in 2022 on The Golden Gift Day.

One of the latest seven-figure addition to the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival along with the The Big Dance (1600m), which is now worth $3 million as of 2023, The Five Diamonds race takes place on the Saturday after the Melbourne Cup runs in Victoria on the first Tuesday of November.

Rivalling the racing action at Flemington that day when Champions Stakes Day takes place as the final Melbourne Cup Carnival meeting, The Five Diamonds offers $2 million in stakes.

Open only to five-year-old horses, event aims to keep horses racing that might otherwise have been retired following their four-year-old racing season, and for Racing NSW to keep some of the five-year-old talent in Sydney late in the spring.

The race is an 1800m event run at set weights plus penalties.

The $1 million Five Diamonds Prelude (1500m) is the key lead-up to The Five Diamonds and offers the winner a ballot exemption into the big one.

Ellsberg (2022) won the inaugural Five Diamonds Prelude – The Five Diamonds double.

WHICH HORSE WILL WIN The Five Diamonds in 2023?

Which horse will win the 2023 The Five Diamonds comes down to a number of key form factors including the barriers, Rosehill strike-rate, and their previous form over the 1800m distance or further.

When selecting The Five Diamonds winner it is also important to consider:

  • Sydney Stables: Horses from the premier Sydney stables are tipped to dominate Five Diamonds race results.
  • Black-Type Performers: Proven Black-Type runners with previous winning form in Listed or Group status races are sure to do well in Five Diamonds.
  • The Golden Eagle: The horses that contested and ran well in the previous spring’s $10 million The Golden Eagle as 4YOs are sure to sit highly up The Five Diamonds odds the following year.
  • Epsom Lead-Up: The Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m) at Randwick earlier in the spring serves as a nice early lead-up and Ellsberg (2022) completed the Epsom Handicap – The Five Diamonds double when the latter ran for the first time.
