Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies 2026 Results
The official 2026 Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
- #3 Streisand
- #9 Chayan
- #4 I Am Aria
The Clinton McDonald-trained Magnus filly Streisand ($3F) was excellent second-up improving on her luckless fifth in the Preview to salute for the punters with a class performance in the 2026 Blue Diamond Prelude (F) results at Caulfield on Saturday. Earning comparisons to the stable’s 2024 Blue Diamond champion, the late Hayasugi (2024), she showed plenty of improvement with her commanding three-quarter length victory that had her all-in Blue Diamond quote slashed from $26 to $9.

Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies 2026 Tips
Our insider 2026 Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies tips will be published here the week of the race with a full betting preview available on the Neds Blog.
Run over 1,100 metres in February, the Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies is a fantastic starting race for two-year-old fillies contested at Caulfield Racecourse on Rubiton Stakes Day in early February each Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.
Starting out as a Listed Race, this race has held Group 2 status since 2015 and currently offers $350,000 in prize money.
The Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies, along with the Blue Diamond Prelude Colts & Geldings held on the same day, are key lead-ups into the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) held back at the track at the end of the month.
In 2023 Godolphin and trainer James Cummings won both divisions of the Prelude races with Barber (colts and geldings) and Exploring (fillies).
Hayasugi (2024), Lyre (2019), Catchy (2017), Earthquake (2014), and Samaready (2012) are fillies to have recently completed the Prelude – Blue Diamond double.
In 2022 the Blue Diamond Prelude winning filly Revolutionary Miss finished second next-up in the Blue Diamond Stakes, and she also returned that spring for a second placing in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m).
Hayasugi (2024) is the latest filly to complete the Blue Diamond Preview – Blue Diamond Prelude – Blue Diamond Stakes treble.

Which Horse Will Win the Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies?
The best way to pick which horse will win the Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies in 2026 is to take into account the form leading up in the autumn, assess the barriers and look past Caulfield performers.
Additional factors to consider when picking the Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) winner include:
- Quick Lap – This race favours sprinting types. Find a filly that is capable of eating up the shorter distances.
- Best Lead Up – The Blue Diamond Preview (F), taking place at Caulfield a couple of weeks earlier, at a distance of 1,000 metres, is your best predictor of this race.
