**RESULTS**






A TIGER MET A PEEPTOAD ONE DAY
AND TOGETHER THEY ENTERED A BAR
THE TIGER THEN ASKED THE PEEPTOAD
WILL YOU BE TRAVELING VERY FAR?

~~~





THE PEEPTOAD WAS A LITTLE BIT WARY
ANSWERED AS SHE GLANCED OVER HER BACK
YES, I AM HEADING TO SARATOGA
TO RUN IN A RACE AT THAT TRACK


THE TIGER NOW THINKING IT OVER
REPLIED: ''YEH, THAT MIGHT BE SOME FUN ~
CAN I JUST COME ALONG WITH YA
AND THEN SEE HOW GOOD WE CAN RUN''




SO THE PAIR HEADED ON TO SARATOGA
AND REGISTERED TO RUN ON THAT DAY
THEN DISCOVERED THEIR COMPETITION
NINE OTHERS WHO COULD STAND IN THEIR WAY

THEY ENCOUNTERED -- A 'RUFFIAN' TYPE FILLY
THEN MET -- THE 'ENERGIZER BLUNNY'
A 'CIGAR' SMOKIN COLT O SO BRAZEN
AND A 'SHARK' -- RUNNIN HARD FOR SOME MONEY



HEADING OVER TO THE NEXT BARN THEY WENT
TO SEE WHO ELSE MIGHT GONNA BE IN IT
THEY MET 'DUSTY' -&- 'CATALINA' --> 2 FILLYS
AND 'EL PRADO' MUMBLING ''IN IT TO WIN IT''



THE LAST OF THE RACE COMPETITION
'POST TIME MIKE' A COLT OF SOME FAME
ALONG WITH A FILLY CALLED 'THUNDER CAT'
TIGER -&- TOAD REALLY LOVING THAT NAME


THE TIME HAD NOW COME FOR REALITY
AS EACH HORSE IN THE GATE TOOK THEIR PLACE
A HORSE THAT HAD BEEN MENTIONED --> 'REAL QUIET'
NEVER MADE IT THAT DAY TO THE RACE

AND AWAY THE ELEVEN ALL WENT
WITH CIGARSHOP TAKING THE LEAD
PEEPTOAD, CATALINA, BLUNNY -&- STARK
CATALINA -&- THUNDER CAT ALL SHOWING SPEED




BUT THEN THINGS SUDDENLY CHANGED
WHEN OUT OF THE TURN THEY ALL CAME
A NEW LEADER WAS WAY OUT IN FRONT
AND -- POST TIME MIKE -- BE HIS NAME

CIGARSHOP WAS STILL IN THE CHASE
WITH -- PEEPTOAD FOLLOWED BY -- BLUNNY
TIGER DANCER STARTING TO ROAR NOW
THESE 5 WITH A SHOT AT BIG MONEY




EL PRADO -&- DUSTY FARTHER BACK
THE REST OF THE FIELD RUNNING SLOW
STARK, CATALINA, THUNDER CAT -&- RUFFIAN
NOT MUCH DID THIS BUNCH YET SHOW




AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH ONCE AGAIN
COMMAND OF THE LEAD NOW WAS TWO
THE PAIR FROM THE TAVERN WHO CAME
TO SEE HOW GOOD THEY COULD DO!




PEEPTOAD -&- TIGER DANCER TOGETHER
WHAT A SIGHT THAT WAS TO BEHOLD
AS EL PRADO CAUGHT UP TO THE DUO
LEAVING THE COLTS ALL OUT IN THE COLD!




AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY ALL CAME
THREE FILLYS ALL LEADING THE WAY
PEEPTOAD, TIGER DANCER, EL PRADO
BUT IS THIS HOW THE ORDER WILL STAY?

THE ANSWER CAME QUICKLY -&- BOLD
AS -- EL PRADO -- SO HOT NOW ON FIRE
CAUGHT UP AND TOOK OVER THE LEAD
AS THE THREE FILLYS ALL HIT THE WIRE




THE PHOTO SHOWED IT ALL VERY CLEARLY
EXACTLY WHO GETS MOST OF THE MONEY
EL PRADO, PEEPTOAD -&- THE TIGER
WITH THE PRECIOUS GOING TO BLUNNY!

CIGARSHOP WHO LEFT THE GATE BRISKLY
JUST RAN OUT OF STEAM AT THE MILE
DUSTY, POST TIME MIKE -&- RUFFIAN
GAVE TRAINERS NO REASON TO SMILE

THUNDER CAT, STARK -&- CATALINA
OUT RUN RIGHT FROM THE START
BUT EVEN WITHOUT ALL THE GLORY
THEY EACH RAN WITH ALL OF THEIR HEART




SO THE TWO WHO HAD MET IN THE TAVERN
THE TOAD AND THE TIGER FINISHED WELL
AND WHEN THEY EACH RETURN HOME
O WHAT A FINE STORY TO TELL

~~~

HOW STRANGERS CAN MEET IN A BAR
EACH DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN WAY
YET FRIENDSHIP IS BORN EVEN THEN
PROVING SOMETIMES 'DIFFERENT' CAN PAY

SO HERE IS THE WAY THEY ALL FINISHED
THREE FILLYS WITH MOST OF THE MONEY
AS GOLLUM IS SEEN LURKING NEAR BY
WATCHING THE PRECIOUS AGAIN GO TO BLUNNY!

SOME ON THIS PLANET LIVE SO BLINDLY

YET OPENING MINDS JUST LIKE DOORWAYS
CAN OFTEN SHOW HOW LIFE CAN BE CHANGED
