Diamond Necklace made to battle in French Oaks

By Racing TV

Last Updated: Sun 14 Jun 2026

Diamond Necklace maintained her unbeaten record and added a second French Classic of the season with a gutsy victory in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained filly had to dig deep to fend off the attentions of 50-1 outsider Pink Panthera in the final furlong, winning by a neck. Inis Mor, trained by David Menuisier, came home third.

Victory for Diamond Necklace saw her join some racing greats including Zarkava in adding the French Oaks to her Prix Marcel Boussac and French 1,000 Guineas wins.

For Ryan Moore it was a first win in the race while the odds-on favourite was giving O’Brien a second following the success of Joan Of Arc in 2021.
