The Rocknroll Hanover four-year-old gelding Diamonds N Cash showed enough promise in his last harness racing campaign with four wins and two seconds from nine starts, finishing second in his final start in the Group 2 Gogs Services 4yo & 5yo Championship worth $75,000.
Having not started since November 2018 Diamonds N Cash will start in a new campaign at Tabcorp Park Melton on Monday, as a hot favourite in the $20,000 Empire Stallions Pace with Kate Gath driving for Andy Gath.
Diamonds N Cash is a half-brother to the dam of Lot 109 Diamond Dance, a yearling on offer at the 2020 National Standardbred Yearling Sale on behalf of Breckon Farms.
This yearling will go through the ring at Karaka just a few hours before Diamonds N Cash will be racing in his first start back from a long spell.
Lot 109 Diamond Dance is a A Rocknroll Dance filly from the Artsplace mare Diamond Lace.
Diamond Dance is by A Rocknroll Dance.
