First Foal for Defcon

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Aug 7
Eureka Stud is home to of one of the most exciting young stallions in the country in Spirit of Boom and they also have high hopes for Choisir's brilliant son Defcon, whose first foals are being born this spring.

One of the first is this lovely bay filly from good metropolitan winning Red Dazzler mare Plumage, whose first foal is slick two time winner Plumaro. A daughter of Spirit of Boom, Plumaro has already won nearly $180,000 in prizemoney with two wins and two placings from six starts.

 




A high class juvenile, Defcon won the Group III Canberra Black Opal Stakes at two and then the Group III McNeil Stakes at three. By proven sire of sires Choisir, Defcon stands at a fee of $4,400 this spring.
