Unraced colt, Defcon, has been attracted early money to win the Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield on February 27.

 

The Snowden-trained two-year-old opened $26 last night and has already firmed into $11.

 

The first bet placed on the market was $375 each-way at $26 with a string of other bets seeing him firm into his current quote.

 

“The word about Defcon was strong back in October so the early move hasn’t surprised. Paul Snowden says the horse will have another trial next week before a decision is made on its first run,” said TAB’s Nick Quinn.  

 

Defcon is $15 to win the Golden Slipper, with Capitalist the $3.50 favourite.
