18/10/2017  Happy Valley  Race 1

On jumping, MASSIVE MILLENNIUM, which reared on a number of occasions when fractious in the barriers, bounded in the air and made heavy contact with the hindquarters of WINNING CONTROLLER, causing WINNING CONTROLLER to become unbalanced and MASSIVE MILLENNIUM to lose ground. From wide barriers, OHANA and HAYMAKER were steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Making the first turn approaching the 1050 Metres, GOLDEN GLORY hung out. Making the turn after the 1000 Metres, ROCKET LET WIN got its head on the side, made the turn awkwardly and was awkwardly placed inside the heels of WINNING CONTROLLER. Making the turn after the 600 Metres, ROCKET LET WIN, which continued to lay out, lost ground when momentarily crowded for room inside OUR HONOUR (N Rawiller) which lay in. N Rawiller was severely reprimanded and advised that whilst the Stewards acknowledged that ROCKET LET WIN was inclined to lay out for the majority of the race, nonetheless he had allowed his mount to shift inside the line of one-off. He was advised to ensure that he makes every endeavour to afford other runners comfortable racing room. MASSIVE MILLENNIUM, which was following, got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of ROCKET LET WIN in consequence. After this, ROCKET LET WIN continued to lay out. MASSIVE MILLENNIUM, which was following ROCKET LET WIN, was awkwardly placed behind that horse rounding the Home Turn. Rounding the Home Turn and in the Straight, GOLDEN GLORY lay out under pressure. Throughout the race, GOLDEN GLORY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of MASSIVE MILLENNIUM immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. WINNING CONTROLLER, OUR HONOUR and KIM GLORY were sent for sampling.
