**MM -- RESULTS**


MM results coming to you live from the ole Dog House where
your's truly is having a Brew, watching races on Cable and
trying to not get distracted by the pole dancers

Today the Colts stacked the gate 5/2 with a lot of Fillies scratching -
but then isn't that what Cats do? Scratch a lot!

Once again it was Colt domination of the race
Blunny & KD were too much to handle for Ruffian
who finished a respectable 3rd

John Henry captured The Precious
which serves GDQH right for not showing up to steal it

Dusty followed John Henry round the oval most of the race

Cigarshop lucked out in R9 or it would be him in MY Dog House
but his impressive $19.20 ended all threat of kicking me out

So now I accomplished a record making Quadra Peat of Dog House Finishes!
Not sure its something to brag about though

The 2013 Dog House Award sits right next to the HOTY Trophy
which is an odd thing but worthy of a good laugh

Guess I made the Dog House into such a great 'Man Cave'
now the incentive to leave is not that great

Official Results
Report errors to the Ruffzilla

I'm off to grab another Beer and some dollar bills to make it rain
on the pole dancers (though $19.80 won't be much of a storm)

Blunny ======== $73.60
KD =========== $52.90
Ruffian ======== $48.40
John Henry ====== $47.40
Dusty ========= $42.10
Cigarshop (DC) === $34.80
Criminal Type ==== $19.80
