Didn't they say that about Vinnie Rowe?
Your second point is the one that always has me interested in this game, the unbelievable does happen, and more often the unthinkable 
As for stats, you know I love 'em, but I think when comparing past winners of "a race" they have to go out the window to some extent.
Should be an great spectacle whatever the outcome, I'm really looking forward to this year for some reason, it has a lot of different elements which will duly unfold. |
