GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR~SATURDAY AT GULFSTREAM PARK
WE HAVE AN OUTSTANDING FIELD OF 11 RUNNERS
BUT WE ALSO HAVE HAD 2 SCRATCHES
PEEPTOAD -- WHO IS TAKING TIME FOR R & R
CIGARSHOP -- WHO IS CRUISING ALONG IN THE BAHAMAS ....
INSTEAD OF CRUISIN DOWN THE RACE TRACK
THE HORSES ARE IN THE STARTING GATE
PATIENTLY WAITING FOR JOHN HENRY TO DECIDE TO GO IN
HIS TRAINER TELLS US HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON GATE TRAINING.....
BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN A VERY POSITIVE RESULT YET
SO OUT COMES THE PEPPERMINTS AND EXTRA HANDLERS
TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO GO IN
AND NOW WE ARE READY TO RUN
.............AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO!
TAKING COMMAND OF THE EARLY LEAD IS DUSTY
RUNNING RIGHT ALONG WITH HER IS CRIMINAL TYPE
AND THESE 2 LEAD THE WAY INTO THE TURN
BUT DUSTY DID NOT HOLD ONTO THE LEAD VERY LONG
AS CRIMINAL TYPE QUICKLY TOOK COMMAND
IT'S ABOUT 15 LENGTHS BACK TO BLUNNY
THE NEXT TIER IS MADE UP OF REAL QUIET --
OAKLAWN CAPPER, POST TIME MIKE, CATALINA
AND TIGER DANCER
AND EVEN FARTHER BACK ARE
RUFFIAN AND JOHN HENRY
RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE IS -- STARK
THEY ARE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
CRIMINAL TYPE IN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE RACE HAS EXTENDED HIS LEAD
DUSTY HAS JUMPED A SHADOW ON THE TRACK AND NOW IS FALLING BACK BADLY
BLUNNY HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND NOW IS RUNNING SECOND
SUDDENLY THERE IS A ROAR FROM THE CROWD
AS RUFFIAN HAS LET HER INNER CHEETAH TAKE CONTROL
AND SHE IS PASSING ONE AFTER ANOTHER FROM VERY FAR BACK
RUFFIAN NOW HAS OVERTAKEN BLUNNY AND
RUNNING IN 2nd -- BUT STILL VERY FAR BEHIND CRIMINAL TYPE
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
CRIMINAL TYPE LIKE A MASTER THIEF
IS STEALING THIS RACE AND TAKING NO PRISONERS
IT'S A MATCH RACE NOW FOR SECOND
BETWEEN RUFFIAN AND BLUNNY
DUSTY IS RUNNING JUST BEHIND THOSE THREE
FARTHER BACK & TIGHTLY BUNCHED ARE
CATALINA, TIGER DANCER, OAKLAWN CAPPER
AND REAL QUIET
THERE'S A BIG GAP BACK TO STARK
AND EVEN FARTHER BACK IS POST TIME MIKE
RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE AND BEING EASED
IS JOHN HENRY STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP
AS THE WIRE DRAWS CLOSER THERE IS NO DOUBT
OF WHO WILL BE IN THE WINNERS CIRCLE
CRIMINAL TYPE HAS LED FROM THE START
AND WILL LEAD AT THE WIRE
THE REAL BATTLE IS BETWEEN RUFFIAN & BLUNNY
