Clearview Stable’s
Diamond Ore, a half-sister to 2016 champion 3-year-old Arrogate, is set to make her stakes debut in the $100,000
Busanda on Jan. 24, a nine-furlong test for sophomore fillies at Aqueduct offering 10-4-2-1 Kentucky Oaks qualifying points to the top-four finishers.
Trained by Barb Minshall, the Tapit bay, out of the multiple stakes winning Distorted Humor mare Bubbler, was purchased for $750,000 at the 2018 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.
Bred in Kentucky by Clearsky Farms and Hill ‘N’ Dale Equine Holdings, Diamond Ore made her first three starts on Tapeta at Woodbine Racetrack, including a good second, defeated a half-length, on November 14 when stretched out to two turns for the first time that garnered a career-best 70 Beyer Speed Figure.
Showing no ill effects from a layoff of nearly nine weeks, Rainbowinthewest powered to the lead from the rail and won as she pleased in Friday’s co-feature at The Meadows, a $9,400 Filly & Mare Conditioned Trot.
Although Rainbowinthewest could have released a pair of early challengers, trainer/driver Brian Zendt would have none of it. He kept the pedal to the metal and the six-year-old daughter of Andover Hall-Miss Milwaukee responded, scoring in a sharp 1:54.3. Matterlei finished second, 2-1/2 lengths back, with Impulse Buy third.
Brocious Racing Stable and Lone Wolf Stable campaign the winner, who boosted her career bankroll to $168,120.
