Ridden by Pat Smullen, replacing Johnny Murtagh (was was absent due to a dental issue, see earlier story, the gelding raced prominently before moving to the front two furlongs out, eventually staying on well for an all-out win.

Harrington was not present for the win but Smullen did later say “Mosstown stuck at it well and going further would probably be a help to him – staying won the day. He is a very fit horse and got to the line well.”
