Australian-bred Haradasun colt Harry’s Son deserves a change of fortune in the G1 Premier’s Champion Stakes over 1600m at Greyville’s Super Saturday meeting this weekend.

The Paul Lafferty-trained colt has been most unlucky in his last two starts in the G1 Sun Medallion over 1200m at Scottsville and the G1 Golden Horseshoe over 1400m at Greyville on Durban July day, running on strongly each time to finish third in both races.

Lafferty said, “He came out of that last race very well and is a very clean winded horse. I think this race will determine the Equus Champion two-year-old colt, so it will be a great race to win.

“He will love the mile and Pierre Strydom aboard is a big plus. He was arguably unlucky in his last two races so is overdue for a G1 win.”

Harry’s Son has landed a plum draw of three.

He was looking in fine fettle at Summerveld yesterday as he is hard and has a gleaming coat.

Lafferty commented that in conformation Harry’s Son resembled his sire Haradasun, who was a three-time international G1 winner including the Queen Ann Stakes over a mile at Royal Ascot.

Harry’s Son has an excellent, laid back temperament and Lafferty says he is the best two-year-old he has ever been associated with.
