Without an income, the wheels of the Auld Lehane bandwagon were sure to come off. Auld Lehane, the jockey, was back in the saddle for 2026. They all knew, you see, that if auld Lehane was onboard, the chances of winning were almost guaranteed. To the untrained eye, it might seem that Auld Lehane is too old, stupid, and overweight to throw his leg over anything more flighty than a bar stool. But alas, if I'm in the race at all, regardless of the competition, I'm sure to romp home first.
