**RESULTS**
.... I'M STEPPING IN TO HELP DUSTY
WHO'S HAVING SOME TECHNICAL WOES
THE TWILIGHT ZONE OF THE INTERNET
WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT SOMETIMES GOES!
THE MIDWEEK MAYHEM UPON US
THE CROWD CAN HARDLY NOW WAIT
BUT DUE TO SEVERAL LATE SCRATCHES
THERE'S ONLY 8 IN THE GATE
WE SEE THE FAST FILLY, CATALINA
WHO LATELY IS BLAZINGLY HOT
SHE'LL TRY TO REPEAT HER LAST VICTORY
AND GIVE IT ALL THAT SHE'S GOT
THE 4 COLTS WHO SHOWED UP TO STOP HER
STARK ~ JOHN HENRY ~ RQ & BLUNNY
AND THE 3 OTHER FEISTY FAST FILLYS
WILL BE RUNNING FOR ALL OF THE MONEY
THE POST PARADE IS JUST OVER
THE 8 IN THE GATE SET TO RUN
CAN DEFENDING CHAMP CATALINA
HAVE ENUFF TO NOW 'GET-ER-DONE?'
CATALINA ~ JOHN HENRY & STARK
TAKE OFF WITH AN EARLY SLOW LEAD
NOW BLUNNY IS COMIN ON FAST
LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY INDEED!
TIGER DANCER IS MOVING UP NOW
BUT EVEN MUCH FARTHER BACK
ARE REAL QUIET, DUSTY & RUFFIAN
ANY SPEED IS WHAT THEY ALL LACK!
THEY'RE NOW AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
AND IN THE LEAD IT'S ALL Mr. BLUNNY
CATALINA ~ ~ STARK & JOHN HENRY
ALL UP THERE TO TRY FOR THE MONEY
DUSTY IS STARTING TO QUICKEN
TIGER DANCER IS STARTING TO FADE
BLUNNY IS RUNNING LIKE LIGHTENING
BUT JUST WHEN THE BEST PLAN IS LAID ~
SOMEONE CAN RUIN THE GLORY
WHEN THE GOING BEGINS TO GET TUFF
THE CROWD IS ROARING LIKE BANSHEES
CAUSE UP THE RAIL NOW HERE COMES RUFF!
SHE HAS CALLED ON HER ''INNER CHEETAH''
FROM SO FAR BACK SHE HAS RUN
PASSING MOST OF THE OTHERS
BUT AHEAD OF HER ---- BLUNNY'S THE ONE
SHE'LL HAVE TO DIG DEEP TO GET PAST HIM
SHE HAS STARK RUNNING RIGHT AT HER HOOVES
WITH THE WIRE GETTING MUCH CLOSER
CAN THE FILLY FIND ALL THE RIGHT MOVES
THE ANSWER TO THAT WE WILL KNOW
ONCE THE PHOTO HAS SHOWN US THE WINNER
WHO WILL BE EATING SOME CROW
AND WHO WILL BE SERVED VICTORY DINNER?
...
-&-
IT'S A VERY TIGHT PHOTO OF THREE
BETWEEN RUFFIAN, STARK -&- BLUNNY
CATALINA IS NEXT ~ BUT NOT CLOSE ENUFF
SHE WON'T GET THE BIG PAYOFF MONEY
THE CROWD IS SCREAMING SO LOUD NOW
HIGH PITCHED TONES FOR THE FILLY
THE MEN ALL CHEERING THE COLTS
THE LADIES ALL THINK THEY ARE SILLY
CAUSE THEY KNOW IN THEIR HEARTS WHO HAS WON
EVEN IF THE PHOTO'S NOT UP YET
THEY'VE SEEN HOW INTENSE IS THAT FILLY
AND JUST HOW DETERMINED SHE CAN GET!
AND NOW THE LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED FLASHING
THE LADIES IN THE CROWD WERE ALL RIGHT
CAUSE WHAT THAT PHOTO REVEALED
IS THE FILLY IS QUEEN OF THE NIGHT!
THE PHOTO IS TIGHT FOR THE PLACE SPOT
AND SHOWS BLUNNY AHEAD BY A DIME!
POOR STARK WITH ALL OF HIS EFFORT
JUST COULDN'T GET THERE IN TIME
SO NO REPEAT FOR THE CHAMP, CATALINA
AND YET WHEN HER STORY IS TOLD
SHE MAY NOT HAVE REPEATED HER VICTORY
BUT SHE DID STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS OF GOLD'
THEN THE FINAL 4 RUNNING TODAY
HAD NO SPEED OR DESIRE TO RUN
THEY SEEMED TO MEANDER ALONG
JUST ENJOYING A DAY IN THE SUN
AND WINNING THE KEY TO THE CAT HOUSE
BUT ONLY BY A MEAGER 4 DOLLARS
TIGER DANCER ON REAL QUIET'S TAIL
BUT ALL SHE COULD DO WAS JUST FOLLOW
SO THE ''BIG CAT DIARY'' IS QUITE DIFFERENT
WITH ONE IN THE PENTHOUSE A WINNER
THE TIGER WILL DINE IN THE CAT HOUSE
ON A TASTY MEOW MIX & RAILBIRD DINNER!
SO HERE IS THE ORDER OF FINISH
OF WHO RAN THE BEST - WHO DID NOT
TIGER DANCER LETHARGIC
RUFFIAN THE CHEETAH GOT HOT!
SHE 'HOT FOOTED IT' RIGHT TO THE WIRE
PURSUING THE ENERGIZER BLUNNY
SHE CALLED ON HER INNER CHEETAH
TO GET HER ALL OF THE MONEY
**ANOTHER GREAT WIN FOR THE FILLY KITTIES
