Moodie backs long held high opinion of
General Beau and pays up for Blue Diamond
BY JO MCKINNON | @ANZ_NEWS

T
             here was nothing last minute about
             astute Victorian breeder David
             Moodie’s decision to fork out the
             $55,000 final late entry fee for his
colt General Beau (Brazen Beau) to run in this
Saturday’s $1.5 million Blue Diamond Stakes
(Gr 1, 1200m) at Caulfield.
    “We were never not going to pay up for him
unless something went wrong between last
Saturday week and today,” Moodie said. “You
don’t get too many opportunities to have a live
chance in these types of races.”
