**SS RESULTS @ OAKLAWN**



GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME
TO SUPURRR~SATURDAY
OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY:
THE BUNNY HOP STAKES




WE'VE HAD A FEW SCRATCHES -- LEAVING US WITH
A SMALL BUT TALENTED FIELD OF TEN
AS POST-TIME-MIKE SEEKS TO REPEAT
HIS LAST VICTORY GALLOP




WE ALSO HAD A FIRST TIME STARTER PRE-ENTERED
BUT WHO GOT STRANDED DUE TO FLIGHT TURBULENCE
WELCOME -- THUNDER CAT -- OUR NEW MAIDEN FILLY
WHO WE HOPE TO SEE IN THE GATE NEXT TIME

AND NOW ON WITH THE SHOW




THE POST PARADE HAS JUST ENDED AS THE HORSES ARE
BEING LOADED WITHOUT INCIDENT -- EXCEPT FOR RUFFIAN
WHO IS BEING A FRISKY, FEISTY, FILLY -
GIVING THE STARTING CREW MORE THAN THEIR PAY GRADE IS WORTH!

SOME CATNIP LACED PEPPERMINTS IS ALL IT TOOK TO
CONVINCE THE ORNERY FILLY TO GO INTO HER GATE




FINALLY WE ARE READY TO RUN IN -- THE BUNNY HOP STAKES

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO





IT'S A TRIO OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD
BLUNNY ~ EL PRADO ~ PEEPTOAD TAKE THE FIELD INTO THE TURN

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME -- WITH BLUNNY THE CLEAR LEADER

DUSTY TURNED UP THE HEAT WITH A POWERFUL MOVE ON THE TURN
SHE IS NOW JOINED BY CATALINA AS THESE 2 FILLYS TRY TO CATCH
THE RUNAWAY 'ENERGZER -BLUNNY'
WHO IS AT LEAST 10 LENGTHS AHEAD OF THE FIELD

IT'S ANOTHER 2 LENGTHS BACK TO
CIGARSHOP - STARK -&- EL PRADO

PEEPTOAD DID NOT HANDLE THE TURN WELL AND HAS LOST GROUND

RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE WAY FAR BACK ARE
TIGER DANCER ~ POST TIME MIKE -&- RUFFIAN

AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH IT'S ALL THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY'
JUST TOYING WITH THE FIELD -&- SHOWING NO SIGNS OF TIRING

DUSTY -&- CATALINA ALMOST CLIPPED HEELS
AND NOW BOTH FILLYS ARE LOSING GROUND, BACKING UP BADLY


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


BLUNNY LEADING THE WAY ~
BUT SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET
AS FROM THE CLOUDS -- POST TIME MIKE
TURNED ON HIS CAJUN MOJO AND IS FLYING PAST EVERYONE

ONE BY ONE THIS COLT IS SHOWING THE REST OF THE FIELD
HIS TAIL, AS HE FLIES ON BY, MOVING WITHIN A LENGTH
OF THE SUPER SPEEDY 'ENERGIZER BLUNNY!'

CIGARSHOP -&- PEEPTOAD ALSO FOUND ANOTHER GEAR
MOVING UP QUICKLY AND CLOSING THE GAP
TO THE FRONT RUNNING DUO OF BLUNNY -&- POST TIME MIKE

WE NOW HAVE A HOT MATCH RACE UNFOLDING
AS BLUNNY DIGS DEEP TO HOLD ONTO THE LEAD

POST TIME MIKE IS ALL OUT
WITH SHEER WILL POWER -&- DETERMINATION
TO GET HIS NOSE ON THE WIRE FIRST

THESE 2 COLTS ARE AT LEAST 13 LENGTHS AHEAD OF THE REST


THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD ~ TOO CLOSE TO CALL!




DID THE ''ENERGIZER-BLUNNY'' HOLD ON TO WIN THE BUNNY HOP STAKES?
HOW IRONIC IS THAT IF HE DID! .... WAY COOL
OR DID POST TIME MIKE HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO REPEAT

ONLY THE PHOTO WILL LET US KNOW
OBJECTION LIGHTS ARE FLASHING
TRAINERS OUT ON THE FIELD ARGUING WITH THE STEWARDS
JOCKEYS ON THE PHONES

AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION -&- REPLAY VIEWING
THE LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED FLASHING

~YES FOLKS, IN THE BUNNY HOP STAKES ~
THE 'ENERGIZER BLUNNY' -- MADE IT VERY CLEAR
IT WAS ONLY RIGHT THAT HE SHOULD WIN THIS 'NAMESAKE' RACE
TO PROVE HOW LIFE IS OFTEN STRANGER THAN FICTION!

POST TIME MIKE -- WITH A POWERFULLY IMPRESSIVE CLOSING RUN
MUST SETTLE FOR 2nd PLACE THIS TIME

THE SHOW SPOT WAS ANOTHER PHOTO DETERMINATION
AS CIGARSHOP'S LONGER NOSE PREVAILED OVER PEEPTOAD'S

~~~~


SO CONGRATS TO BLUNNY FOR A GATE TO WIRE VICTORY IN --
