Price Aims Samaready For Blue Diamond

Mick Price believes he has a Blue Diamond filly on his hands in Samaready who made an impressive winning debut at Flemington.

Ridden by Craig Newitt, Samaready hugged the inside rail throughout before scoring by 1-1/4 Lengths from Mrs Gray with Alzora the same margin away third.

"She's a genuinely good filly, she has a great temperament and I'm pointing her to the Blue Diamond."

"She has a very bright future. She's a Blue Diamond filly for sure.

Both Price and Newitt commented that the Rockmount pretrainer had done a good job to win at her first look at Flemington and had done everything right on the day.

Price said Samaready would spend some time in the water walker at Rockmount before he gets her ready for the Listed Blue Diamond Preview (1000m) for fillies on January 26 or the Group Three Prelude (1100m) for fillies on February 11, both at Caulfield.
