ALL THE HORSES ARE STANDING QUIETLY IN THE
GATE ~ JUST WAITING FOR TIGER DANCER TO DECIDE
THAT SHE WILL GO IN --- OR NOT
SHE HAS BEEN A VERY FINICKY FILLY LATELY WHEN
IT'S TIME TO ENTER THE GATE ---
ALTHOUGH HER CONNECTIONS HAVE SPENT A LOT
OF TIME WITH GATE RE-TRAINING
APPARENTLY IT'S NOT WORKING THAT WELL - YET
NOW SHE HAS BEEN CONVINCED TO GO IN AND WE ARE
READY TO RUN THE 'BELIEVE IT OR NOT STAKES'
AND ........ AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO!
LIKE A ROCKET LAUNCHED TO MARS ----
REAL QUIET, OUR REIGNING HOTY, LEFT THE GATE
LEAVING THE REST OF THE FIELD WONDERING IF
THERE HAD BEEN A MALFUNCTION WITH THEIR OWN?
DID PEGASUS SUDDENLY SNEAK INTO THE RACE?
REAL QUIET HAS SEPARATED HIMSELF FROM THE OTHERS
BY AT LEAST 20 LENGTHS
AND ALTHOUGH THE RACE JUST BEGAN, IT'S GONNA TAKE
A 'SUPER-HORSE' TO CATCH THIS COLT!
HE IS RUNNING FREAKY FAST FRACTIONS AND
COULD POSSIBLY BREAK THE TRACK RECORD
IF HE CAN CONTINUE RUNNING AT THIS SPEED!
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
REAL QUIET IS OUT THERE ON HIS OWN
WITH A DAZZLING DISPLAY OF POWER
NOBODY IS EVEN GETTING WITHIN 15 LENGTHS
OF THIS COLT AND IT STILL APPEARS THAT THE
OTHER 11 RUNNERS ARE ONLY RUNNING FOR A
PIECE OF THE PURSE ----
UNLESS THERE IS A SHOCKER SURPRISE WHICH CAN & OFTEN HAPPENS NOT ONLY ON THE TRACK ~ BUT IN LIFE!
CIGARSHOP IS RUNNING THE BEST OF THE REST
BUT STILL IS NOWHERE NEAR THE FRONT RUNNING
REAL QUIET WHO IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE RACE
THE ONLY 'QUIET' IS THE SOUND BETWEEN HIM
AND THE REST OF THE FIELD!
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
REAL QUIET SIMPLY PUTTING ON A SHOW NOW
CIGARSHOP CONTINUES AT A DECENT PACE
BUT JUST NOT GAINING MUCH GROUND
STARK & BLUNNY HAVE NOW INCREASED SPEED
JOINING CIGARSHOP AS THESE 3 COLTS ARE
THE ONLY ONES WHO APPEAR TO HAVE ANY
CHANCE AT ALL OF HITTING THE WIRE FIRST
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
THE ''FRONT RUNNING MASTERPIECE'' aka REAL QUIET
CONTINUES TO LEAD BY ALMOST 20 LENGTHS AND
SHOW ABSOLUTELY NO SIGN OF SLOWING DOWN!
SOME OF THE TRAINERS MIGHT CONSIDER ASKING
WHAT 'SUPPLEMENT' IS BEING ADDED TO HIS FEED?
CIGARSHOP IS JUST A LENGTH IN FRONT OF STARK
AS BLUNNY JUMPED A SHADOW AND LOST MOMENTUM
IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO POST TIME MIKE
AND RUFFIAN ----- JUST AHEAD OF JOHN HENRY WHO
APPEARS TO HAVE LOST ALL CHANCE OF A REPEAT WIN
VERY FAR BACK ARE OAKLAWN CAPPER, DUSTY
AND PEEPTOAD AS TIGER DANCER TRAILS THE FIELD
SHOWING NO INCLINATION OR INTEREST IN RUNNING
THE WIRE IS JUST AHEAD WITH NO DOUBT OF WHO
WILL STAND IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE
ONLY THE 2nd / 3rd / 4th PLACINGS ARE IN QUESTION
AND IT IS STARK WHO JUST ANSWERED THAT
QUESTION WITH A SUDDEN SURGE OF SPEED
THAT PUT HIM CLEARLY AHEAD OF CIGARSHOP
BLUNNY ONCE AGAIN STEALS "THE PRECIOUS"
AND MAY HAVE TO GO INCOGNITO FOR AWHILE
SO GOLLUM CAN'T FIND HIM!
REAL QUIET CROSSES THE LINE WITH NOBODY
EVEN CLOSE TO HIM --- AND WHO NEVER WERE
