GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO SUPURRR SATURDAY
WITH THE LATE SCRATCH OF 2X DEFENDING CHAMP, EL PRADO
WHO UNFORTUNATELY WILL MISS THE CHANCE AT A 3~PEAT
WE HAVE 6 FAB FILLYS & 5 CHARISMATIC COLTS TO RUN IN THE
FEATURE EVENT TODAY: THE DANCING TIGER STAKES
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO
STARK COMES AWAY WITH A SHORT LEAD HEADING INTO THE TURN
FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY CIGARSHOP & THUNDER CAT
IT'S JUST ANOTHER 2 LENGTHS BACK TO A FILLY-FOURSOME OF
RUFFIAN ~ DUSTY ~ PEEPTOAD AND CATALINA
AT THE BACK IN THE EARLY GOING AT SNAIL SPEED ARE:
BLUNNY ~ REAL QUIET ~ TIGER DANCER & POST TIME MIKE
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
AND WE NOW SEE A NEW LEADER IN COMMAND AS THUNDER CAT
HAS ROARED HER WAY TO THE FRONT BY AT LEAST 13 LENGTHS
WHEN CIGARSHOP FAILED TO HANDLE THE TURN & DROPPED BACK
PEEPTOAD & CATALINA ARE GAINING ON THE LEADER WITH
TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY GOING FROM PURRRRR TO ROAR
JOINING THE OTHER 2 FILLYS BEHIND THUNDER CAT
AS THESE 4 FRISKY FAST FILLYS LEAD THE FIELD
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
THUNDER CAT IN FRONT BUT THE CLOSERS ARE STARTING TO RALLY ~ ~
DIMINISHING HER LEAD WITH EVERY STRIDE
THE FASTEST OF THESE IS PEEPTOAD WHO SUDDENLY
LEAPED INTO 'OVERDRIVE' RUNNING RIGHT PAST THUNDER CAT
TAKING THE LEAD WITH RECORD BREAKING SPEED!
ALONG WITH PEEPTOAD BREAKING THE SPEEDING LIMIT IS
CIGARSHOP WHO HAS RECOVERED FROM HIS MISSTEP ON THE TURN
NOW ONLY 3 LENGTHS BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING FILLY
THUNDER CAT & CATALINA ARE NEXT FOLLOWED BY RUFFIAN + STARK
IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS FARTHER BACK TO
BLUNNY ~ TIGER DANCER ~ REAL QUIET ~ POST TIME MIKE & DUSTY
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
PEEPTOAD ALL OUT CONTINUES TO LEAD
WITH CIGARSHOP BREATHING DOWN HER NECK
THUNDER CAT & CATALINA NOW IN A BATTLE OF THEIR OWN
RUNNING FOR PURSE MONEY & THE PRECIOUS
WHAT HAD BEEN A GIGANTICOUS LEAD BY PEEPTOAD ~
NOW HAS TURNED INTO A MATCH RACE OF DETERMINATION
PEEPTOAD WITH AN INCREDIBLE DISPLAY OF POWER
CIGARSHOP REBOUNDING WITH A COURAGEOUS RALLY
THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD AS THE FILLY & THE COLT
NECK & NECK ~ STRIDE FOR STRIDE HIT THE WIRE TOGETHER
HOLD ALL TICKETS FOLKS
OBJECTION LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ~ JOCKEYS ON THE PHONES
STEWARDS ARE REVIEWING THE REPLAY AND DETERMINED
THAT THE OBJECTION LODGED AGAINST CIGARSHOP FOR
VEERING IN NEARING THE WIRE, HAS BEEN DISMISSED
