======= PREAKY PURRRFECTION =======

THE HORSES ARE BEING LOADED WITHOUT INCIDENT
EXCEPT FOR RUFFIAN PULLING HER GATE SHENANIGANS ~

KICKING UP HER HEELS -- TOSSING HER JOCKEY IN THE AIR
VET RUSHING IN TO EXAMINE THE FEISTY FILLY WHO APPEARS
NONE THE WORSE FOR IT + THE JOCKEY SEEMS OK TOO

WITH A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT OF A PEPPERMINT ~
RUFFIAN HAS AGREED TO ENTER THE GATE ~ HER JOCKEY IS BACK ON

NOW WE ARE FINALLY READY TO RUN!

AND AWAY THEY GO IN THE PREAKNESS DAY RUFFARAMA STAKES

BURSTING OUT OF THE GATE IS TIGER DANCER WHO IS ROARING
TO THE EARLY LEAD LEAVING THE FIELD WONDERING IF THEIR GATE
OPENED AT THE SAME TIME?

THERE COULD BE AN INQUIRY FOLLOWING THE RACE
TO EXAMINE THE STARTING GATE

NOW PICKING UP HER SPEED IS GOTADUN WHO HAS QUICKLY
JOINED TIGER DANCER ON THE LEAD

CRIMINAL TYPE IS NEXT
WITH CIGARSHOP + REAL QUIET RIGHT AT HIS TAIL

IT'S JUST A LENGTH BACK TO JOHN HENRY

IT'S A HUGE GAP BACK TO PEEPTOAD + BLUNNY

AND RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE IN THE EARLY GOING
RUFFIAN ~ ELITE MERCEDES ~ + DUSTY

THESE 3 FILLIES SHOWING NO SPEED AT ALL YET
BUT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO RUN

========== OUT OF THE TURN =========

IT'S NOW GOTADUN IN COMMAND OF THE LEAD
OUT THERE ON HER OWN LEADING THE WAY

REAL QUIET HAS PICKED UP HIS SPEED AND HAS MOVED INTO 2nd

CIGARSHOP NOW RUNNING IN 3rd

JOHN HENRY + CRIMINAL TYPE ARE NEXT JUST A LENGTH BACK

TIGER DANCER DID NOT HANDLE THE TURN WELL AT ALL AFTER
BEING CARRIED WIDE BY CIGARSHOP

===== THE HORSES HAVE REACHED THE TOP OF THE STRETCH =====

AND IT IS STILL GOTADUN SHOWING THE WAY

BUT THERE GOES CRIMINAL TYPE FLYING UP THE RAIL
MOVING RIGHT UP TO CIGARSHOP JUST IN BEHIND THE LEADER
AS REAL QUIET JUMPED A SHADOW - LOSING HIS MOMENTUM

AND THERE GOES BLUNNY PICKING UP THE PACE
MOVING UP JUST A HALF LENGTH BEHIND REAL QUIET

THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE FAR FAR BACK

======== AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME ==========

GOTADUN STILL IN COMMAND + LOOKING VERY POWERFUL TODAY

CRIMINAL TYPE IS ALL OUT TRYING FOR THE REPEAT WIN

BUT HOLD ON FOLKS.....

SOMEONE IS FLYING UP THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK
AMIDST SO MUCH TRAFFIC --- IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHO
THRU ALL THE DUST IN THE AIR FROM THE SPEED ~

WHOA NELLIE ................

IT'S NOT JUST ONE HORSE CREATING ALL THAT DUST IN THE AIR
IT'S TWO OF THEM MOVING AS ONE

DUSTY FROM THE CLOUDS ALMOST LAST
CIGARSHOP SUDDENLY SOARING AS IF HIS TAIL CAUGHT FIRE

BUT NOT TO BE OUTDONE ---

GOTADUN HAS A SHOW OF HER OWN AS SHE KICKED INTO ANOTHER
GEAR PULLING AWAY FROM THE FIELD -----
LEAVING THEM IN HER MIGHTY WAKE

ALL CHANCES FOR A CRIMINAL TYPE REPEAT GONE IN A HEARTBEAT

AND NOW THE RACE IS A MATCH RACE FOR 2nd

CIGARSHOP + DUSTY NECK AND NECK LOCKED IN THEIR OWN BATTLE
CRIMINAL TYPE STILL IN IT FOR A PIECE OF THE PURSE
