Unbeaten Mosse (NZ) Something Special

Unbeaten O’Reilly four-year-old Mosse (NZ) will now head to the Group 1 Railway Stakes on New Year’s Day after producing a freakish performance to win Saturday’s $70,000 Group 3 The Aussie Butcher Concorde Handicap (1200m) at Ellerslie.

Mosse is O’Reilly’s 59th stakes winner

Last at the top of the straight in what seemed an impossible position, Mosse (O’Reilly x Golden Sparkle) weaved his way through the entire field and ran down Demophon (Howbaddouwantit) and Durham Town (Falkirk) in the last 50 metres to take his fifth win by just shy of half-a-length.

“It was just unbelievable,” commented John Bell. “He was in deep trouble on the turn and to see him produce a performance like that was amazing. “He is a real talent this horse, he has that x-factor and it’s a real privilege to be training him.”
