Diamond Necklace prepares for Prix de Diane at Chantilly

Diamond Necklace is set to race against ten competitors in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly on Sunday at 3:05 PM local time. The unbeaten three-year-old filly, trained by Aidan O’Brien, aims for a French Classic double following her win in the French 1,000 Guineas last month. O’Brien has expressed confidence that the increased distance of 2,100 meters will suit Diamond Necklace, who has raced over a mile so far. Moments Of Joy is also a likely runner for O’Brien in the prestigious race, adding depth to his lineup, while strong British competitors include Lilt and Evolutionist.
