Haradasun looks set to shine

HARADASUN can herald his arrival in Europe with victory in the Group One Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes at Newbury today.

It is always hard to assess the merits of foreign form on British shores, particularly that of Australian racing which could hardly be more different in terms of attitude and ground.

However, Aidan O’Brien and the Coolmore team obviously believe Haradasun can cut the mustard in this hemisphere or they would not have gone to the trouble of shipping the five-year-old halfway around the world.
