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

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