I would encourage all on course to participate in The Cleaner drinking game. Anytime Darren mentions anything to do with "the people's horse", "rags to riches", "Longford Lion" or a relation between Bass Strait and The Cleaner, you drink. When he hits the front, you drink. If he corners infront, you drink. If he wins, you're going to need a taxi. I'm happy to go with the masterclass that is Adam Durrant and Mr Moet. Coming off the same preparation that won him the 2012 Railway Stakes he will attack the race first-up with a very cosy 55.5kg, blinkers on and the Pontiff aboard. Ticks enough boxes for an eachway flutter. Elite Belle was unsuited by a slow tempo in the Lee Steere, she will improve lengths and be low flying down the middle of the track late. It'd be unaustralian not to throw The Cleaner in for third after all he is "the people's horse" and I just earnt myself a frothy. Game on.

crowd was alright I'd say. whose the person on the far right drinking a can of Mid, is that a sheila on stilts or a bloke with a blonde wig on, would hate to run into her down a dark northbridge alley on an early sunday morning :-))
