Can Moss Vale win? The swansong...

[my miss storm cat]

Uh oh.

It was a nice thought anyway.

Okay if someone holds up a sign saying "The Curragh" Bennie will win.

On the other hand, the last three times Moss did manage to win he had Fallon up.

Tiza and Desert Lord, Dandy Man, crap this is a really nice field.

I'd use New Girlfriend somewhere at those insane odds.

Safe trip home, everyone. I'll be happy if he finishes well.
