The Tarry yard enjoyed feature race success at TAB Turffontein on Sunday when the classy Green Diamond won the weather-delayed Listed TAB National Colour Stakes (1000m).
Named in honour of the former Tarry trained Horse Of The Year, the National Colour Stakes attracted a nine-horse lineup.
Talented four-year-old Green Diamond picked up her fourth career win when running out a courageous winner of Sunday’s R250 000 contest.
Under champion jockey Craig Zackey, Green Diamond settled down to fight out the finish in Sunday’s sprint with Playing Trix with Green Diamond sticking her head down where it mattered most to win by a head.
Bred and owned by Drakenstein Stud, Green Diamond had won both the 2025 G2 TAB SA Nursery and 2025 G3 TAB Protea Stakes prior to her latest win.
By multiple champion sire Gimmethegreenlight, Saturday’s winner, a half-sister to the promising galloper The Cullinan, is out of Trippi’s Listed Perfect Promise Sprint winning daughter Lesedi La Rona.
The latter is a half-sister to the Tarry yard’s smart performer Gerbera.
