Description

Exciting Broodmare Prospect

Diamond Gift is a unraced 4-year-old mare by the multiple stakes producing stallion in Manhattan Rain out of the multiple city winner Forever Diamonds. Forever Diamonds was bred on a similar cross to her half brother, the very talented Enticing Star, who won the Listed Birthday Stakes before running 2nd in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes 2 starts later. Diamond Gift hails from a family of talented Stakes producing broodmares including Sentimental Star, Galaxy Queen and Star Exhibit (have produced 7 Stakes performers between them including G1 winner Galaxy Star). This pedigree offers room to grow as Forever Diamonds has a filly by Extreme Warrior and a colt by Shamus Award still to run for her.

Manhattan Rain looks to follow in the steps of his father Encosta De Lago, and brother Redoute's Choice, as succesful broodmare sire. Mares by Manhattan Rain have already produced 9 Stakes performers including the Group 3 winning/Group 1-placed Jennilala. At 16.3hh Diamond Gift looks well conformed to handle the demands of being a successful broodmare.

Disclaimer: Mare needs to be sedated if travelling by a truck. Not necessary if being floated.
