Multiple champion sire Gimmethegreenlight enjoyed a good day at Turffontein on Saturday when his classy daughter Green Diamond won the Betway Bauhinia Stakes (1000m).
Winner of both the G2 TAB SA Nursery and G3 TAB Protea Stakes last season, the Sean Tarry trained three-year-old made it three wins from seven starts with a polished performance on Saturday.

Under a good ride from Craig Zackey, the Drakenstein Stud bred and owned Green Diamond dropped out early on.

Zackey asked his mount for a response, and Green Diamond bounded forward from the back of the field.
The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight stayed on strongly in the closing stages and went away to win by more than a length and three quarters.

Out of the Trippi mare Lesedi La Rona, Green Diamond is bred on the same Gimmethegreenlight/Trippi cross as G1 winners Gimme A Prince, She’s A Keeper and The Real Prince.

Her G1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winning sire Gimmethegreenlight is enjoying another fine season in 2025-2026, with his black type winners led by G1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate winner The Real Prince.

Gimmethegreenlight has two yearlings on offer at the Cape Yearling Sale, and nine lots on sale at the Premier Yearling Sale.
