EVERYONE STANDING QUIETLY....

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE RUFFARAMA!

AND IT'S FOUR ACROSS THE TRACK TO TAKE THE EARLY LEAD

DUSTY // JOHN HENRY // CIGARSHOP // PEEPTOAD

WHOA.........

THEIR LEAD DIDN'T LAST BUT A FEW SECONDS BECAUSE
THERE GOES RUFFIAN TURNING HER INNER CHEETAH LOOSE
VERY EARLY ON TO TAKE COMMAND OF THE LEAD

AND THERE GOES TIGER DANCER + CATALINA
TO JOIN RUFFIAN AT THE FRONT

****** HEADING INTO THE TURN ******

HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS FOLKS
THIS RACE LOOKS TO BE A REALLY CONTENTIOUS BATTLE

AS JOHN HENRY HAS TURNED UP THE HEAT
AND HAS OVERTAKEN THE 3 FILLIES IN THE LEAD ------
TAKING COMMAND OF THE RACE AND MOVING LIKE A POWERHOUSE

IT'S 5 LENGTHS BACK TO A TRIO OF FILLIES
TIGER DANCER // PEEPTOAD // CATALINA

RUFFIAN CARRIED WIDE ON THE TURN HAS LOST MOMENTUM

BACK ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS ARE
DUSTY + CIGARSHOP

IT'S ANOTHER 5 LENGTHS BACK TO CRIMINAL TYPE

AND AT THE BACK SHOWING NO SPEED YET IS BLUNNY

*** THE HORSES HAVE REACHED THE TOP OF THE STRETCH ***

JOHN HENRY MOVING LIKE A TORNADO ACROSS KANSAS IS IN
FULL COMMAND OF THE LEAD .... AND RUNNING LIKE A CHAMPION
WHICH IS AMAZING CONSIDERING HIS LAST 2 RACES

TRAINER SAYS HE HAD A DIETARY CHANGE PLUS TRAINING IN
THE AFTERNOONS SEEMS TO AGREE WITH HIS ATTITUDE ABOUT
NOT WORKING WELL IN EARLY MORNING ---
GUESS HE PREFERS "SLEEPING IN"

BUT HOLD ON FOLKS.......
SOMEONE IS FLYING UP THE RAIL.... MOVING LIKE PEGASUS

IT'S ---- IT'S ---- IT'S ---

TIGER DANCER MOVING LIKE A SLEEK JUNGLE CAT
PUTTING IN HER BID ----- ROARING AS SHE HAS MOVED UP
RIGHT TO THE TAIL OF JOHN HENRY

THE PRESSURE IS ON THE SPEEDY LEADER NOW

AND THERE GOES DUSTY FLYING ON THE OUTSIDE

SHE SUDDENLY FOUND ANOTHER GEAR AND NOW HAS
MOVED UP ----- PASSING CATALINA

PEEPTOAD + RUFFIAN .... NECK + NECK ARE NEXT

.AND AT THE BACK
CIGARSHOP ---- CRIMINAL TYPE ---- BLUNNY


***** AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME *****

IT'S ALL JOHN HENRY WHO SUDDENLY SPROUTED WINGS
AND HAS TAKEN OFF YET AGAIN TO LEAVE THE FILLIES
WONDERING ----
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE SO CLOSE"

HE IS RUNNING AWAY WITH THE RACE
REMINDING THE CROWD OF SECRETARIAT'S BELMONT WIN

IT HAS TURNED INTO A BATTLE FOR 2ND + 3RD NOW

TIGER DANCER ------ ROARING
DUSTY ---------- KICKING UP A DUST STORM BEHIND HER
CATALINA -------------- DETERMINED TO REPEAT

BUT IT'S ALL JOHN HENRY ALONE ON THE LEAD
NOBODY IS GONNA CATCH HIM TODAY

AND NOW TIGER DANCER HAS ROARED AGAIN TO
SECURE HER RUNNER UP SPOT

DUSTY AND CATALINA ====
ALL OUT ---- NECK AND NECK LOCKED INTO
THEIR OWN BATTLE FOR THE SHOW SPOT

AND HERE COMES THE WIRE

NO PHOTO FOR THE WIN TODAY FOLKS
CLEARLY A POWERFUL RACE BY JOHN HENRY
RE-ENERGIZING HIS FAN BASE WHO HAD BEEN
DISAPPOINTED IN HIS RECENT EFFORTS

TIGER DANCER
ONE OF HER BEST EFFORTS LATELY EASILY TAKES 2ND
