A chestnut son of Shackleford, Diamond City, trained by Mark Casse for D.J. Stable LLC, was the 4/5 choice in the Ontario Racing.

The Kentucky-settled just off the early pace before taking a narrow lead at the stretch call.

Diamond City, who came into the race off a pair of third place finishes to launch his career, drew away in the late going to win by 1 3/4-lengths in a time of :57.68 over firm ground.

Bred by Canvasback Thoroughbreds, he paid $3.60 for the win.
