**RESULTS**


GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO
MIDWEEK MAYHEM & BOTS DAY AT DELTA DOWNS


OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY WILL BE:
"THE ST VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE"




THE RACE TURNED OUT TO IMPRESSIVELY LIVE UP TO IT'S NAME
AS THE COLTS CAME ARMED WITH CUPID'S DARTS
..... LACED WITH DEADLY DYNAMIC DETERMINATION ~
WHILE THE FILLYS CAME ARMED WITH KISSES, CUTENESS & CANDY





THEIR WILEY WICKED WAYS WOULDN'T WORK
ON THE CLEVER, COURAGEOUS COLTS
WHO WERE DETERMINED NOT TO BE AFFECTED
BY THE FRIVOLITY OF THE FRISKY FILLYS!


WHEN THE GATES OPENED, IT WAS JOHN HENRY -&- STARK
OUT FOR AN EARLY LEAD -- WITH CATALINA JUST OFF THEIR TAILS
BLUNNY QUICKLY JOINED THAT TRIO
REAL QUIET -&- CIGARSHOP PICKED UP SPEED TO JOIN HIM

TRAILING FAR BACK IN THE EARLY GOING ARE:
RUFFIAN -- TRYING TO DEFEND HER VICTORY OF LAST WEEK,
ALONG WITH DUSTY -&- TIGER DANCER

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

JOHN HENRY HAS KICKED CLEAR
OF STARK -&- CATALINA
AND NOW HAS THE LEAD ALL TO HIMSELF

BLUNNY IS RIGHT THERE AND LOOKING VERY STRONG
REAL QUIET IS STAYING RIGHT WITH HIM
AS THE 3 COLTS HAVE TAKEN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE RACE

THE FILLYS -------> ARE NOWHERE IN SIGHT



THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


JOHN HENRY IS STILL LOOKING POWERFUL
BUT HIS LEAD IS DIMINISHING
AS BLUNNY -&- REAL QUIET ARE
GAINING GROUND WITH EVERY STRIDE


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


JOHN HENRY EVEN MORE DETERMINED
IS NOW SHOWING GREAT COURAGE
TRYING TO HOLD ON
TO HIS QUICKLY DIMINISHING LEAD

REAL QUIET HAS MOVED UP INTO 2nd
AND NOW IS JUST A HEAD IN FRONT OF BLUNNY

SUDDENLY IT'S CIGARSHOP KICKING INTO GEAR
JOINING THE OTHER 3 COLTS IN THE LEAD

TIGER DANCER FINALLY AWOKE -- TO REALIZE
THIS WAS -NOT- A 'LOVE FEST' FOR VALENTINE'S DAY!
THIS WAS A BATTLE OF THE SEXES FOR HONOR & GLORY!



BUT HER SUDDEN AWARENESS
WAS JUST TOO LITTLE TOO LATE!

STARK -&- CATALINA ALMOST CLIPPED HEELS ON THE TURN
COSTING THEM BOTH TO LOSE MOMENTUM AND DROP BACK

RUFFIAN -&- DUSTY -- SHOWING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
ARE IN A CLOSE BATTLE FOR THE KEY TO THE CAT HOUSE!

....


THE WIRE IS JUST AHEAD......


JOHN HENRY DETERMINED TO HOLD ON
DIGS DEEP TO FIND JUST A LITTLE MORE
AS HIS NOSE TOUCHES THE WIRE -- 1st




REAL QUIET IS EQUALLY DETERMINED -- TO ACQUIRE YET ANOTHER
'BRIDESMAID' GOWN FOR HIS 'IMPRESSIVELY LARGE' --- COLLECTION
AND FINDS MORE TO SEAL THE 2nd PLACE DEAL





IT'S A TIGHT PHOTO FOR THE SHOW SPOT -&- THE PRECIOUS




OBJECTION LIGHTS ARE FLASHING
AS 2 TRAINERS RUN ONTO THE TRACK
AND 2 JOCKEYS ARE ON THE PHONE

STEWARDS ARE HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH ALL
LISTENING TO THE OBJECTIONS,
REVIEWING THE REPLAY OF THE FINAL FURLONG ~




THE LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED FLASHING AND OFFICIAL
ORDER OF FINISH -- IS NOW UP ON THE TOTE BOARD

THE ''BATTLE OF THE SEXES'' WAS NO BATTLE AT ALL!

IT'S A GENUINE ''VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE'' BY THE COLTS
FINISHING 1--2--3--4 IN A SPECTACULAR SUPERFECTA!!!!




ADDING CROW -&- HUMBLE PIE TO THE VICTORY DINNER ~
THERE'S A FILLY IN THE CAT HOUSE!
