Desperate, I send up a hasty prayer to The Virgin Mother. So naturally, a Hail Mary comes to mind. The next time the opposition hits one out, I dig my heels in my pony, holding my nose in anticipation of a noisome deposit. Instead, Peggy, finally getting the memo, takes off like Man of War in full Triple Crown mode, such that I am hanging off her side for dear life like a rodeo clown.
