It's very tempting to skip with diamonds but as you say, being forced to wait for them being born is a great way to make sure you make up for the coins you spend trying for a t3.

Usually derbys allow you to get a horse with the derby points (collected during the event from the races and steeplechases), but it's not a guarantee. Sometimes they offer the new horse for derby points too (eg. Fabulous, Sanctity), sometimes they do not (Ink). Usually they have some of the older derby horses in there as well. We're hoping that's the case with the Melbourne Cup event too.

Apart from horses, I'm really excited for the derby tack. If we get the tack that was shown on the Melbourne Cup horse, I'm very happy. I'm a sucker for realistic tack, and that saddle, blanket and bridle looked amazing. Very much looking forward to it!
