As race day nears, the 2011 Blue Diamond Stakes is shaping up to be an interesting race. As early as July 2010, about 1200 young thoroughbreds have been registered in the early declarations. These race horses were screened during the first declarations in November 2010 and the list was narrowed down further during the second nominations on the 11th of January.

After the second declarations, only 162 thoroughbreds remain in the hunt for the $1 million Blue Diamond Stakes. The third declarations for the 1200-metre Blue Diamond Stakes race will happen on the 1st of February and the list of competitors will be trimmed to 16 horses and four emergencies by the 22nd of February.

With more than 150 horses set to be taken out of the competition, competing during the Blue Diamond Stakes race day is an achievement itself. What makes the achievement even more special is that the winner of the race can win the top prize of $600,000. Trainers would want to get this prize and that is why they are pushing their two-year-old race horses to the limit.

There are some races that gives out ballot exemptions for the 2011 Blue Diamond Stakes. These races are the Listed Blue Diamond Previews and the Blue Diamond Preludes. The Blue Diamond Previews will unfold on the 26th of January while the Preludes will happen on the 12th of February. Winners of both races will automatically qualify for the Blue Diamond Stakes.

Since the Blue Diamond Stakes is about a month way, online bookmakers have released early market Blue Diamond Stakes betting odds. At the early betting market, the horses that stand out are Pane In The Glass which recently achieved an Inglis Nursery-Inglis Classic double. Other favourites include Hollyweird that has won two of his last three and Peter Moody’s One Last Dance.

Also getting good betting odds for the Blue Diamond Stakes are Holdontoyahorses, Boys On Tour and Bossdon City. As the calendar draws nearer to race day on February 26, the betting odds will certainly change depending on the performances of the nominated horses. When that day comes, all eyes will be on the Caulfield Racecourse as another edition of the Blue Diamond Stakes unfolds.

As early as now, you can check Blue Diamond Stakes betting odds at your favourite online bookmakers. These odds will help you gauge the horses that will emerge victorious. You can choose from win, place or each way bets or the quinella, trifecta and first four bets.
