How the 2026 Blue Diamond Stakes Was Won
The filly Streisand beat the colts in the $2 million Blue Diamond Stakes, scoring by three-quarters of a length for Clinton McDonald and Ben Melham.
What the Result Means
The form proved rock-solid: third-placed Guest House went on to win the Golden Slipper, so Streisand’s Caulfield win reads as one of the autumn’s strongest juvenile performances.
