Diamond Crown, a three-year-old daughter of Cracksman, gained a well-deserved first Black Type win, as she made her breakthrough at Stakes level with an exciting victory in the Listed Großer Preis der Privatbank ODDO BHF on Sunday, 29 September at Hannover, Germany.
Travelling well throughout the 2000m race, Diamond Crown made her way over to the stands side rail as the field turned into the home straight. She took up the running with 400m to go and under a hands and heels ride she went on to score by two lengths.
