A postcard from Elvstroem that includes a message from the great Masahiko Harada.

The Cox Plate is this campaigns grand final and Haradasun will come from barrier 4 in the WS Cox Plate at Moonee Valley on Saturday October 27th. There are 13 worthy competitors. 

At 4pm jockey Damien Oliver will board the champ and it will be in his hands. At 4.05pm it's ding ding and Damien will guide him thru the early rounds before the champ Haradasun delivers the knockout.

postscript: The race plan didn't pan out with H caught wide and going to the front but he fought on well for a terrific third placing in the 2008 Cox Plate.

In 2003 Elvis was not allowed in the Cox Plate and in 2004 he and Nash were in the air on the back toes when the starter let them go.  He flashed home to just miss the placings.

Haradasun has always been set for this race and it's business as usual ... let's hope the right result comes true.
