Blue Diamond third acceptances announced

63 horses are left to contest the Patinack Farm Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield on February 26, following third acceptances.

The sponsers of the Blue Diamond have 11 runner left in contention, including unbeaten 'Pane In The Glass', the Inglis Classic winner who last week was named as an unlikely starter despite her outstanding six length win at Rosehill.

Impressive Blue Diamond Preview winners 'Sepoy' and 'One Last Dance' are also amongst the third acceptances, indicating a trip to Melbourne may still be on the cards for the scintillating filly.

Five-time Blue Diamond winning trainer David Hayes has the second highest number of two-year-olds remaining behind Patinack with eight, four of which are by champion sire 'Redoute's Choice'.

If either of the Preview winners, Sepoy and One Last Dance, can win either of the Preludes, they will be alive to win a $1 million bonus if they can complete the clean sweep by capturing the Blue Diamond.

The Blue Diamond Preludes will be run over 1100m at Caulfield on February 12.
