9 ARE STANDING QUIETLY AWAITING THE RAUCOUS RUFFIAN
TO SETTLE DOWN AND GO ON INTO HER GATE!
PERHAPS SHE IS REMEMBERING HER MAMA ~ SHENANIGANS?




WITH SOME SOOTHING WORDS, PEPPERMINTS -&- A PAT ON HER NECK,
SHE HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO WALK ON INTO THE GATE


AND AWAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE REAL QUIET BIRTHDAY STAKES...




~ LIKE A CAJUN HOT TABASCO SAUCE ON FIRE ~
CATALINA HAS LEFT THE REST OF THE FIELD WONDERING
IF THEIR OWN GATES HAD MALFUNCTIONED?

THE FRISKY FILLY IS AT LEAST 10 LENGTHS OUT IN FRONT
LEADING THE FIELD INTO THE TURN

POST TIME MIKE WITH A SUDDEN SURGE OF SPEED IS NOW 2nd

REAL QUIET ~ THUNDER CAT -&- CRUZAN ARE NEXT ~

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO
DUSTY ~ TIGER DANCER -&- BLUNNY

TRAILING THE FIELD WAY FAR BACK ARE RUFFIAN -&- CIGARSHOP


OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME


IT'S CATALINA STILL IN FRONT
BUT NOW HAS A DETERMINED DUSTY RIGHT ON HER TAIL
WITH TIGER DANCER -&- REAL QUIET
ONLY ANOTHER LENGTH BEHIND THAT DUO

CRUZAN IS NEXT ABOUT 7 LENGTHS BACK
FOLLOWED BY:
BLUNNY ~ THUNDER CAT ~ POST TIME MIKE

BACK IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE ARE
CIGARSHOP -&- RUFFIAN
AS NEITHER ONE HAS SHOWN ANY SIGNS OF SPEED YET


THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


CATALINA STILL HOLDING ONTO A SHORT LEAD
BUT APPEARS TO BE GETTING A BIT LEG WEARY

THUNDER CAT IS ON THE MOVE NOW
GAINING GROUND QUICKLY
NOW NECK -&- NECK WITH DUSTY
WHO ALSO APPEARS TO BE TIRING

REAL QUIET IS RIGHT ON DUSTY'S TAIL
NOW JOINED BY TIGER DANCER

THERE'S A HUGE GAP BACK TO
BLUNNY ~ CRUZAN ~ POST TIME MIKE

EVEN FARTHER BACK ARE
CIGARSHOP -&- RUFFIAN
DOING A TURTLE-TANGO '2-STEP'
SINCE ALL 4 LEGS DON'T SEEM TO BE MOVING MUCH!



AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


CATALINA -&- THUNDER CAT
NOW NECK -&- NECK STRIDE FOR STRIDE
THUNDER CAT ALL OUT
RUNNING FOR REPEAT VICTORY GLORY

CATALINA SUPURRR SPEEDY FROM THE GATE,
SHOWING SIGNS OF TIRING
BUT NOT YIELDING TO A TENACIOUS THUNDER CAT

IT'S A TORRID TRIO RIGHT AT THE TAILS
OF THE DYNAMIC DUO IN FRONT
DUSTY ~ REAL QUIET ~ TIGER DANCER
IN A LINE ACROSS THE TRACK

CATALINA AND THUNDER CAT HEADING TO THE WIRE TOGETHER
WHERE WE MIGHT JUST SEE 2 NOSES HIT THE WIRE IN A DH

BUT NOW A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD
HAS DESTROYED THE IDEA OF A DEAD HEAT
AS CATALINA SUDDENLY TURNING UP THE HEAT
WITH ONE FINAL FIERCE FURIOUS SURGE
LEAVING THUNDER CAT WITH
A SHOCKED, STUNNED LOOK ON HER FACE!



IT IS A COURAGEOUS CATALINA
ALL ALONE AT THE WIRE
LEAVING 'NO' DOUBT AT ALL
WHO IS THE CAJUN QUEEN TODAY!

DEFENDING CHAMP, THUNDER CAT,
WITH AN INCREDIBLE CLOSING RUN
MISSES OUT ON HER REPEAT VICTORY

JUST HOLDING OFF A DETERMINED DUSTY
RIGHT AT HER TAIL

AS REAL QUIET STEALS THE PRECIOUS
BY A WHISKER OVER TIGER DANCER
