GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM
UNDER RAINY SKIES & UMBRELLAS

OUR FEATURE EVENT
IN ANTICIPATION OF DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
WELCOMING SPRING

THE HOPE ''SPRINGS' ETERNAL STAKES

WITH THE SCRATCHES OF BRI & CATALINA
DEFENDING CHAMP, REAL QUIET, WILL HAVE 7 CONTENTIOUS CHALLENGERS TRYING TO PREVENT A REPEAT ROAR TO THE WIRE

THE EBULLIENT EIGHT ARE IN THE GATE READY TO RUN

AND AWAY THEY GO IN THE 'HOPE "SPRINGS" ETERNAL' STAKES

LEAVING THE REST IN THE DUST ~ DUSTY HITS THE GROUND RUNNING
SEPARATING HERSELF FROM THE FIELD BY DAYLIGHT
HEADING TO THE TURN

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

DUSTY CONTINUES TO SHOW THE WAY WITH IMPRESSIVE SPEED
NOBODY IS EVEN CLOSE ENOUGH TO CHALLENGE ~ YET

IT'S AT LEAST 17 LENGTHS BACK TO THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY
AND THUNDER CAT, NECK AND NECK

ANOTHER 13 LENGTHS BACK ARE ROAMIN & REAL QUIET

THIS DUO IS FAR AHEAD OF THE TRAILING TURTLES TRIO
CRUZAN ~ TIGER DANCER ~ RUFFIAN

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

DUSTY CONTINUES ALONG ON HER MERRY WAY
WITHOUT A CHALLENGER IN SIGHT

THUNDER CAT IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF LIFE NOW
INCREASING SPEED ~ MOMENTUM & POWER GAINING GROUND

BLUNNY ALSO HAS RE-CHARGED HIS ENERGIZER BATTERY
MOVING RIGHT ALONG SIDE BY SIDE WITH THUNDER CAT

DEFENDING CHAMP, REAL QUIET, BEING VERY QUIET TODAY
SHOWING NO ENERGY OR INTEREST AT ALL SEEMINGLY
NOT LIKING THE RAIN AND THE MUD IN HIS FACE!

ROAMIN, RUFFIAN AND CRUZAN STRUGGLING IN SNAIL SPEED

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

DUSTY SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN
CONTINUES TO LEAD BY OPEN DAYLIGHT

SUDDENLY A ROAR FROM THE CROWD AS THUNDER CAT
HAS SPROUTED INVISIBLE WINGS FLYING UP THE RAIL

THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY HAS HOPPED INTO HIGH-CHARGE-BATTERY MODE MOVING RIGHT ALONG WITH THUNDER CAT AS THIS DRAMATIC
DUO IS GAINING GROUND ON THE RUNAWAY FILLY IN THE LEAD

TIGER DANCER ALSO HAS FOUND HER BEST TIGERIFFIC ROAR
MOVING UP QUICKLY AND NOW JUST 7 LENGTHS BEHIND
THUNDER CAT & BLUNNY WHO ARE IN HOT PURSUIT OF DUSTY

THE ONE-FILLY-SHOW OF SUPREMACY IS QUICKLY TURNING INTO
A 3~WAY MATCH RACE NOW AS THUNDER CAT & BLUNNY ARE
RIGHT AT THE TAIL OF THE DYNAMIC DUSTY ONE AT THE FRONT!

THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD
DUSTY ALL OUT DESPERATELY TRYING TO HOLD ON GAMELY

THUNDER CAT WITH A THUNDERING ROAR OF POWER
GAINING GROUND WITH EVERY STRIDE
BUT IS IT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE?

THE ANSWER CAME DELIVERED WITH A MIGHTY SURGE OF SPEED
AS THE 'THUNDER ROLLS' ON TO A VIVACIOUS VICTORY

A DISAPPOINTED DOWNHEARTED DUSTY, FAILING TO HOLD ON
TO THE IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF POWER FROM THE GATE
LOSING BY A WILD WHISKER OF THE THUNDERING CAT

THE ENERGIZER BLUNNY HOPPING BOLDLY IN THE FINAL FURLONGS
STAYS STRONG TO LAND IN THE SHOW SPOT

TIGER DANCER WITH AN AMAZING FINAL FURLONGS ROAR
HEADS TO THE SHIRE TO STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS'
