About
Moon Rocket, a 6yo brown gelding trained by K C Bailey at Cheltenham, contests the Cheltenham R2 Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2), registered as The Golden Miller (GBB Race). He is by Doyen out of Sea Rocket and has recorded four career victories. His most notable win came on 1 January 2025 at Southwell, capturing the $14,558.00 Cl3 Nvh prize. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 20% return on investment.
