About

Merisi Diamond is a 6yo mare trained by J Morgan. She is by Caravaggio out of Lucy Diamonds and has recorded four victories in her career. On 19 March 2024 at the Curragh, she secured her biggest triumph, winning the $12,000 Cavalor Equine Nutrition Handicap (47‑70). Over time she has proved a valuable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 21% return on investment.
