SWEET DIAMOND was purchased by Ricky Yiu at AUD$ 370,000 as a yearling and took part in three barrier trials in Australia by settling midfield early. His dam ADORABUBBLE is half-sister of former HK runners OCTA LUCKY STAR and HEXAGON who both won in sprint event respectively while the mare herself collected 7 wins in sprint contest. Half-brother ELTEECEE won over 1100M and 1200M. The grey gelding should be one of a kind and as an early foal born in early August, he should be an early mature sprinter and most effective under 1400M in distance.
