**JOYFUL KITTEN**

THANK YOU TOM ---

THE HORSES ARE ALL LOADED EXCEPT FOR JOHN HENRY
WHO IS BEING A VERY BAD BOY AND REFUSING TO GO IN

HERE COME THE ASSISTANT HANDLERS
TO HELP CONVINCE HIM TO GO IN

SOME OF THE HORSES ARE BEING TAKEN BACK OUT
AFTER GETTING RESTLESS IN THE GATE

TRAINER HAS BEEN CALLED DOWN TO CONSULT
ON SCRATCHING HIM OUT OF THE RACE

AFTER A BRIEF CONSULT AND ADVICE FROM TRAINER WE
HAVE A 'GOOD TO GO' SIGNAL

WITH SOME URGING AND A FEW PEPPERMINTS JOHN HENRY
AGREED TO ENTER HIS GATE AND NOW
--------- WE ARE READY TO RUN

-----AND THEY'RE OFF IN THE RUFFARAMA-----

ROARING OUT OF THE GATE TO TAKE THE EARLY LEAD IS RUFFIAN
BUT RIGHT AT HER TAIL IS CATALINA

THESE 2 FAST FRISKY FILLIES ARE ON THEIR TOES TODAY
SHOWING EXCELLENT SPEED IN THE EARLY GOING

IT'S JUST ABOUT 4 LENGTHS BACK TO A COLT DUO
CIGARSHOP + CRIMINAL TYPE

JUST OFF THEIR TAILS ARE PEEPTOAD + DUSTY

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO BLUNNY + GOTADUN

AND WAY BACK AFTER STUMBLING OUT OF THE GATE IS
JOHN HENRY WHO APPEARS TO HAVE NO INTEREST IN RUNNING

AND INTO THE TURN THEY GO

RUFFIAN ROARING ALONG WITH CATALINA STAYING RIGHT WITH HER

AND THERE GOES PEEPTOAD WITH A SUDDEN SURGE OF SPEED
TO COLLAR THE FRONT RUNNING DUO

NOW THESE 3 FEIRCE - FRISKY + FAST FILLIES TAKE COMMAND
LEAVING THE REST OF THE FIELD IN THEIR WAKE

CIGARSHOP DETERMINED TO STAY WITH THEM IN DEFENSE
OF COLT HONOR IS NEXT


THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

CATALINA HAS PUT A PRETTY NOSE IN FRONT OF RUFFIAN
PEEPTOAD IS RIGHT THERE

AND THE 3 FIREY FILLIES IN A LINE ACROSS THE TRACK
ARE PUTTING ON AN EXHIBITION REMINDING THE COLTS
WHO IS IN CHARGE!

IT'S ABOUT 15 LENGTHS BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD
WITH CIGARSHOP + BLUNNY AT THE FRONT OF THAT BUNCH

GOTADUN -- DUSTY --- CRIMINAL TYPE ARE NEXT
AND JOHN HENRY TRAILS BY 20

AND NOW THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS CATALINA HAS
SUDDENLY EXPLODED WITH A NEW SUPER SONIC SURGE OF SPEED
TO TAKE COMMAND OF THE LEAD .... ALONE

------ AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME -----

CATALINA ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD NOW JUST PUTTING ON A SHOW

RUFFIAN + PEEPTOAD ARE NECK AND NECK ABOUT 10 LENGTHS BACK
OF THE INCREDIBLE CATALINA WHO IS JUST SHOWING OFF NOW

THEY HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE REST
OF THE FIELD WHO ARE JIST RUNNING FOR 4TH PLACE

AND NOW PEEPTOAD IS PICKING UP SPEED ---
PASSING RUFFIAN --- MOVING INTO AN UNCONTESTED 2ND

RUFFIAN STILL RUNNING WELL IN 3RD

THE 4TH PLACE SPOT IS GONNA BE CLOSE ---
MAYBE A PHOTO FINISH OR DH WITH CIGARSHOP & BLUNNY

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD AS CATALINA IS JUST TROTTING ALONG
WITH THE VICTORY LINE JUST AHEAD
NO NEED FOR SPEED NOW
NOBODY IS GONNA CATCH "SPEEDY GONZALES" TODAY

AND HERE'S THE WIRE
