SEVENTEEN takes over Han river for 10th anniversary celebration, fans say 'aju nice' to 'powerpack' show—check out top reactions
SEVENTEEN (SVT) marked their 10th anniversary with a truly unforgettable event. For CARATs, the devoted fandom that has stood by SVT. Well, this special event was not just a celebration, it was a milestone, to show that 13 members have stayed united for ten incredible years. On a sunny Sunday (May 25), a bridge across Seoul's Han River closed to traffic, transforming into a buzzing festival ground for SEVENTEEN 's B-Day Festival. Over 60,000 fans gathered at Banpo Hangang Park, flooding the southwestern riverbank with excitement and love. It wasn't just a concert; it was a city-wide celebration with brand collaborations, photo zones, and interactive events scattered across Seoul. CARATs queued to experience exhibitions showcasing SEVENTEEN's journey. The concert itself, held on the narrow bridge, posed logistical challenges with fans packed tightly, causing a slight delay. But as the sun set, painting the sky a fiery red, stunning fireworks and water effects made every minute worth it. SEVENTEEN kicked off with Thunder from their fifth album Happy Burstday, perfectly matching the night's vibrant energy. When they performed Our Dawn Is Hotter Than Day. CARATs poured their hearts out, sharing deeply emotional comments. One wrote, "The best 10 years." Another expressed their gratitude, feeling incredibly lucky to have attended the concert. A fellow CARAT marveled at how, even after a decade, all 13 members remain just as close and genuine as ever. Yet another fan commented that SEVENTEEN is always ready to commit fully again, just like they always have. The atmosphere was electric, with a giant BongBong—SEVENTEEN's light stick floating on the river and massive LED screens lighting up the Jamsu Bridge with past hits. Surely, SEVENTEEN knows how to celebrate their 10th anniversary with pomp and show.

Punters in a ‘Daze' as import causes a boilover
Given his history, the aptly-named import Glory Daze was always going to find an off-season Benchmark 88 easier than some of the races he has found himself in. Now a resident of Bong Bong in the southern highlands, Glory Daze's opening seven starts in his native Europe included a tussle with future stablemate and Caulfield Cup winner Duke De Sessa in a Group 3 at Leopardstown at start number three. Fast forward to starts six and (finally) seven and the grandson of our own Exceed And Excel contested both the English and Irish Derbies during June 2022. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section.

Saturday's 2000m assignment at Royal Randwick tested the stamina as much, or more, as either of the two classics, illustrated by a 60 length margin between winner Glory Daze and the French import Behtar at the back. The result wasn't just an Irish-bred quinella, it was a double celebration for syndications firm, MyRacehorse whose racehorses, Glory Daze and Adam Hyeronimus' ride Bear On The Loose, pocketed over $100,000 between them for their hard earned efforts. 'He (Glory Daze) was looking for a trip and he was looking for a wet track,' Ciaron Maher Racing's Johann Gerard-Dubord said. 'This has been a long time between drinks but a couple of preps ago when he won here with Nash (Rawiller), it was very impressive. • Queensland Oaks on radar for Let's Fly 'He is a horse that has had a few issues. The owners have been very patient and it was good to see they got rewarded. 'He's just got a big action and he needs to use that. It is the first time he found a Heavy track but I think the heavier the better and you won't get much heavier than that today. That will give him plenty of confidence too. 'He is in a good spot at the moment and will improve again off the back of that.' Glory Daze's heroics marked win 107 for star apprentice Benjamin Osmond. 'He's huge. He's got a massive stride,' the jockey said. 'The race panned out well. I always felt like I was going to get to Adam but it just took a long time to get there.'
