Incident Report
Sent for sampling post-race.

Began well from gate 1, positioned 1 to 2 lengths behind the leader on the inside, moved a bit closer along the rail on turn, hit the front 350M, kept on strongly to the line, won by 1-1/2L.

Incident Report
Jumped awkwardly and then shortly after the start was crowded between TIME TO FIRE and RAINBOW SEVEN. Approaching the 300 Metres was disappointed for clear running to the inside of RAINBOW SEVEN which shifted in. Approaching the 150 Metres was steadied to avoid RAINBOW SEVEN which shifted to the outside of AMAZING GALAXY to obtain clear running. Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards gave consideration if there were grounds for a protest/objection on behalf of LUCKY MY WAY against RAINBOW SEVEN being declared 2nd placegetter due to incidents that occurred approaching the 300 Metres and approaching the 150 Metres. When the Stewards were satisfied there were not sufficient grounds having regard to the margin of 1 ¼ lengths between the two horses at the finish weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge.

Average to begin, raced in midfield on the inside, 2 wide turning in, one-paced in the run home.
