The Melbourne Cup-winning trainers, Anthony and Sam Freedman, are set to make a powerful statement at Caulfield on Saturday with a team of six runners, including two promising first-starters in the Blue Diamond previews.
In an exclusive interview with Racing.com, Sam Freedman offers an insightful look into the stable's main contenders, shedding light on their strengths and strategies for the upcoming races.
Race 2: Blue Diamond Colts & Geldings Preview

Freedman highlights a colt who has shown exceptional promise in his trials, despite facing more experienced three-year-olds. "He's a lovely horse with a free movement and worked strongly on Tuesday morning. We'll ride him conservatively, aiming for a midfield position, and I believe he'll improve with each race."
Race 3: Blue Diamond Fillies Preview

The trainer discusses a filly with remarkable speed and a well-educated approach. "She's a fast filly with a sharp two-year-old type physique. While race day pressure is a factor, I'm confident she'll perform well."
Race 7: W.J. Adams Stakes
Sportsbet odds: $11
Freedman acknowledges a horse whose trials haven't been as impressive, but he's optimistic about his potential. "He's been fair this preparation, but his work on Tuesday morning was as good as it's been all prep. I think he'll run a cheeky race, especially at 1000m, which is his forte."
Race 10: Sportsbet More Places Handicap
Sportsbet odds: $3.30
The trainer addresses the frustration surrounding a horse who 'threw it away' on Saturday. "Yes I Know" will be ridden quieter at a mile on Saturday, and with a target in mind, Freedman believes he can make significant improvements. But here's where it gets controversial... What do you think? Will this horse bounce back, or is it a case of too little, too late? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
