TRAINERS Matt Ellerton and Simon Zahra along with jockey Jamie Kah will be strongly recommending that connections of General Beau pay the $55,000 late entry fee for the colt to run in the $1.5 million Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield next month.
The colt comfortably and impressively won the Diamond Preview (1000m) at Caulfield, earning $96,000 for the victory.
Starting the $3.70 favourite, General Beau defeated the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr-trained Extreme Warrior by half-a-length, with the fancied Gulf of Suez from the Ciaron Maher-David Eustice stable a length away third.

Phill Cataldo’s connections with trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr. is looking set to pay some serious dividends through two unbeaten horses in 2021.
Cataldo brokered deals which resulted in Ayrton and Kurabui both making their way to the Price-Kent stable this year, and they have started their careers in perfect style.
Ayrton is looking to be one of the most exciting horses in Victoria. He won on debut by five lengths over 1300 metres at Bendigo on December 13 and followed that up with a 4.25 length victory over 1400 metres at Caulfield on Boxing Day.
His efforts have impressed ratings experts, and Price said afterwards that he won like a group horse.
