mossland

MY favourite mossland plants is very dangerous indeed...if you are a fly.

Johnny Allen escaped injury when he parted company with Mossland in dramatic fashion at the second-last fence.

Backers of Mossland looked all set to collect when the five-year-old took up the running two fences from home at Tramore last Sunday.

Mossland was having his first race of the year when falling in the lead at the second last at Tramore last weekend.

Mick Holden's 20-1 chance was hampered when leader Mossland fell two out, but he battled back gamely to deny market leader The Dark Flasher close home.

Colmcille, the only four-year-old in the field, was ignored in the betting for the Auto Boland Beginners Chase, and Michael Darcy's mount had to jump the fallen Mossland immediately on landing over the second last.

Joe Crowley had his first winner as a licensed trainer when Mossland led at the last and kept on gamely under John Cullen in the two-mile maiden hurdle on Thursday evening.

Mossland at the final flight and the son of Protektor stretched clear to win by one and a half lengths.

So I wandered the circuit of very rough tracks as lapwings tumbled above the fields and buzzards circled over mossland coverts.
