GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO
SUPURRR SATURDAY AT BELMONT PARK
WE HAVE A FULL FIELD OF LUCKY 13 TO RUN IN
OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY ~ FALLING LEAVES STAKES
TIGER DANCER WILL BE RUNNING FOR A REPEAT VICTORY
WITH 12 VERY TALENTED CHALLENGERS INCLUDING FOUR
FORMER HORSES OF THE YEAR ~
(REAL QUIET, CATALINA, DUSTY & CRIMINAL TYPE)
ALL TRYING TO PREVENT THAT REPEAT FROM HAPPENING!
EVERYONE IS STANDING QUIETLY IN THE GATE WAITING
FOR RUFFIAN & POST TIME MIKE TO SETTLE DOWN AS THEY
ARE RAISING A RUCKUS ABOUT NOT GOING IN!
IT'S AMAZING HOW PEPPERMINTS CAN CONVINCE SOME HORSES
TO DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ~ EVEN RUN!
FINALLY EVERYONE HAS SETTLED DOWN
AND WE ARE READY TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE FALLING LEAVES S.
CIGARSHOP & STARK ARE OFF TO A GOOD START TAKING
COMMAND OF A SHORT EARLY LEAD
DUSTY IS JUST A LENGTH BEHIND THAT COLT DUO
THE REST OF THE FIELD HAS NOT SHOWN ANY SPEED YET
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME AS NOW WE SEE A CHANGE
AT THE FRONT WITH STARK & PEEPTOAD TAKING COMMAND
JUST A LENGTH BACK ARE CATALINA ~ DUSTY & TIGER DANCER
FOLLOWED BY JOHN HENRY & OAKLAWN CAPPER
IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO RUFFIAN & CIGARSHOP
BUT THEN A BIG GAP TO THE REST OF THE FIELD WHO HAVE
SHOWN NO SPEED YET
POST TIME MIKE -- REAL QUIET -- BLUNNY -- CRIMINAL TYPE
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
STARK WITH A HALF LENGTH LEAD OVER CATALINA AS
PEEPTOAD IS RIGHT THERE SHOWING GOOD ENERGY
TIGER DANCER IS JUST OFF THE TAILS OF THAT TRIO
WITH CIGARSHOP & BLUNNY RIGHT AT HER NECK!
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
STARK FULL OF RUN & STILL IN COMMAND WITH THE 2 FILLYS
GIVING HIM ALL HE CAN HANDLE TO HOLD ONTO THE LEAD
CATALINA & PEEPTOAD CHALLENGING THE FRONT RUNNING
COLT WITH POWER & DETERMINATION
TIGER DANCER ~ CIGARSHOP & BLUNNY STILL TOGETHER
THEN IT'S ANOTHER 3 LENGTHS BACK TO A VERY TIGHTLY
BUNCHED GROUP OF 5 AS CRIMINAL TYPE FINALLY AWAKENED
AND DECIDED TO RUN ALONG WITH OAKLAWN CAPPER, DUSTY,
REAL QUIET & JOHN HENRY
AND RUNNING FAR BACK IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE ARE
RUFFIAN & POST TIME MIKE ~
APPARENTLY STILL ENGAGED IN WHATEVER 'THAT' WAS
BACK AT THE GATE?
IT'S A BOLD BATTLE AT THE FRONT WITH A COURAGEOUS COLT
TRYING TO FEND OFF THE FIERCE FILLYS FULL OF FIRE!
THE WIRE IS COMING FAST
WITH ONE FINAL FLURRY OF DETERMINATION & POWER ~
STARK HAS LEFT CATALINA & PEEPTOAD TO FIGHT FOR 2ND
