WITH all the talk of Total Recall, there is a chance that the performance that Alpha Des Obeaux put up in finishing second to him has gone a little under the radar.

Mouse Morris’ horse ran a massive race to take the runner-up spot. Time may prove that he faced a nigh impossible task, trying to concede a stone and 2lb to the winner. As it was, he put up a fair fight, and he came well clear of the third horse, the talented Phil’s Magic. It is rock solid form.
