Fantastic to see Kaha Nui graduate, Field Of Play post a commanding win in the Gr.3 Blue Diamond Prelude! Good luck to all his connections in the Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes! 💥
Karaka graduate Field Of Play (Deep Field) will be a force to be reckoned with when he contests the Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) in a fortnight after posting a dominant victory in the Gr.3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) (1100m) at Caulfield.
Field Of Play is by three-time champion Hong Kong sire Deep Field and out of a winning I Am Invincible mare. He was sold by Nick and Nicky White’s Kaha Nui Farm in Book 1 of Karaka 2024, where he was knocked down to Jamie Richards and Andrew Williams Bloodstock for $500,000.
The horse is managed by New Zealand Bloodstock’s Director of Business Mike Kneebone for a syndicate of Hong Kong owners, and while the Asian Capital was originally the planned racing venue for Field Of Play, his detour to the Cranbourne stable of Busuttin and Young is proving most lucrative.
