IT'S A GAP OF 8 LENGTHS BACK TO THE EARLY TRAILERS
JOHN HENRY / TIGER DANCER / RUFFIAN
=========== OUT OF THE TURN ============
WITH SEVERAL HORSES NOT HANDLING THE TURN VERY WELL
AND A LOT OF BUMPING GOING ON IN THIS LARGE FIELD ....
SOME EMERGED IN FINE FORM AS OTHERS TOOK A BEATING
LOSING A LOT OF GROUND
AND NOW IT'S REAL QUIET COMING AWAY WITH THE LEAD
BUT IT'S JUST A LENGTH BACK TO
BLUNNY -- DUSTY --- OLDOWAN --- RAVEN -- CRIMINAL TYPE
IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO
CIGARSHOP --- PEEPTOAD --- CATALINA
AND VERY FAR BACK ARE
TIGER DANCER --- JOHN HENRY ---- RUFFIAN
THESE 3 HAVE SHOWN NO EARLY SPEED OR ENERGY YET
BUT WE HAVE PLENTY OF RACE STILL LEFT TO RUN SO
ANYTHING CAN + OFTEN DOES HAPPEN
========= THEY'VE REACHED THE TOP OF THE STRETCH =========
AND NOW THE FIELD IS STARTING TO BUNCH UP ON THE FRONT END
REAL QUIET TRYING TO HOLD ONTO THE LEAD BUT SEVERAL HORSES
HAVE SOMETHING ELSE ON THEIR MINDS!
DUSTY SUDDENLY FOUND HER INNER SPEED AND HAS MOVED UP
JUST IN BEHIND REAL QUIET
TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY AWAKENED FROM THE BACK OF THE PACK
AND IS MOVING UP QUICKLY....
IT'S JUST 3 LENGTHS BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD WHO ARE
SO TIGHTLY BUNCHED IT'S HARD TO TELL WHERE ANYONE IS....
============ AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
AND NOW SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING LIKE
A CAT IN A ROOM FULL OF ROCKING CHAIRS!
THE RACE HAS SUDDENLY TURNED INTO A STAMPEDE .....
IT'S ALL DUE TO CIGARSHOP + DUSTY WHO AT THE SAME MOMENT
FIRED ON ALL CYLINDERS ROARING DOWN THE TRACK SIDE BY SIDE
LIKE A PAIR OF TWIN TORNADOES!
TRACK RECORD MAY BE SET WITH THIS KIND OF CLOSING SPEED
AND THERE GOES TIGER DANCER === BLUNNY === PEEPTOAD
ALSO TURNING UP THE HEAT ON THE LEADERS
JOHN HENRY + RAVEN FINALLY WOKE UP AND ARE PICKING UP SOME SPEED
BUT HOLD ON FOLKS.....
IT AIN'T OVER TILL A NOSE TOUCHES THE WIRE AND REAL QUIET SEEMS
VERY DETERMINED TO REPEAT HIS LAST VICTORY.....
BUT THERE GOES CIGARSHOP AND DUSTY FLYING RIGHT ON PAST HIM WITH
AMAZING SPEED FOR THE FINAL FURLONGS OF A CLASSIC DISTANCE RACE
AND NOW CIGARSHOP SEEMS TO BE SAYING ---
''ENOUGH ALREADY ... TIME TO PUT THIS RACE IN THE RECORD BOOK''
AND THERE HE GOES SEPARATING HIMSELF FROM DUSTY + REAL QUIET
ALONE ON THE LEAD AND WILL HIT THE WIRE BY DAYLIGHT
DUSTY SHOWING BRILLIANT SPEED IN THE FINAL HOME STRETCH
WILL FINISH A STRONG 2ND
REAL QUIET TRYING TO DEFEND HIS TITLE IS GONNA HAVE TO BE
CONTENTED WITH A 3RD PLACE FINISH BUT SHOWED TOP FORM
GATE TO WIRE
