\"Rock<\/a>The Dan O’Sullivan-trained colt was sent out a raging hot favourite in the Whiteheads Timber Maiden Plate (1000m) and didn’t disappoint, unleashing a strong finishing burst to score a runaway two-and-a-quarter-length win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rock of Glory’s success arrives at his seventh career outing and after a persistent campaign that began in November last year when he debuted at Hamilton.<\/span><\/p>\n

It continues the stable’s good recent association with champion jockey Damien Oliver, who also rode stablemate Leicameares to victory at Ballarat last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oliver said the step back in trip worked well for Rock of Glory, whose past two runs had been over 1200m and 1209m.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think it was a smart idea by Dan bringing him back to the 1000m, just teaching him how to pace himself,” Oliver said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He got a bit of speed, was able to sit in behind and he was just going in the straight – only did what he had to do – but after the line he ran right through the line and finished off good.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think he has certainly got room for improvement when he learns to pace himself a bit better.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dan O’Sullivan Racing team sends its congratulations to all of Rock of Glory’s connections.<\/span><\/p>\n
