Can anybody tell me how impressive he was on Saturday? I didn't get to see or hear the race, so I don't really know anything apart from the fact that he won.

Race caller said "not as impressive as last start" when mosso crossed the line to win by 3/4 of a length. Sat on leaders outside whole way and let down at 300 where shot 2 lengths clear. Held 2nd and 3rd horses at bay all the way home. IMO they never would have caught him as jockey never really pulled out all stops.

Mosso was indeed good, but not as good as Bentley Biscuit or Retail Therapy(how old is he?)
I think Mr Owl will get him as the distance increases :o

Avoid the hype on 2 & 3 Y.O like the plague.Sportz I thought you would have known better.A good quality 2 Y.O. will win a couple of races in a row before weight catches up on them.But the hype that surrounds them is usually not vindicated.

Ahh okay. :o
I was simply wanting to find out how he went so I can make a judgement on his $ value for the Fantasy Racing competition.

Sportz I just watched the race myself and I must say that it was nothing special at all wasnot asked to produce until about the 250-300 where Mr. Owl was 3 wide on it's tail all the way and under pressure from about the 400-450 and while Mosso skipped clear by a bit when let down Mr. Owl was certainly catching him and by far the best run in the race.
