** CATRAGEOUS **
THANK YOU, TOM DURKIN
(His Final Season at Saratoga)
THE HORSES ARE STANDING QUIETLY
THO TIGER DANCER SEEMS RESTLESS
MAYBE JUST EAGER TO RUN?
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE RUFFARAMA
OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD IS -- CATALINA
WHO FIRED LIKE A ROCKET
AND IS SETTING SOME SPEEDY FRACTIONS EARLY ON
BUT FIRING SHOTS OF THEIR OWN ARE
TIGER DANCER + PEEPTOAD
WHO NOW HAVE JOINED UP WITH CATALINA
IT'S A FILLY TRIO OUT IN FRONT IN THE EARLY GOING
AND NOW JOHN HENRY HAS JOINED THE FILLIES
MAKING IT FOUR ACROSS THE TRACK
THESE FOUR HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE FIELD
BY 10 LENGTHS
===== INTO THE TURN THEY GO =====
IT'S TIGER DANCER WHO HAS SURGED AHEAD
TO TAKE COMMAND OF THE LEAD ALONE
LOOKING POWERFUL TODAY
BUT NOW IT'S CRIMINAL TYPE WHO SUDDENLY EXPLODED
WITH A TREMENDOUS SURGE OF POWER AND HAS MOVED UP INTO 2nd
JUST A HALF LENGTH BEHIND TIGER DANCER
CATALINA RUNNING STRONGLY IS TUCKED IN BEHIND THE
FRONT RUNNING DUO OF TIGER DANCER + CRIMINAL TYPE
PEEPTOAD + JOHN HENRY ARE NEXT RUNNING NECK + NECK
BLUNNY + CIGARSHOP ARE ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK
AND VERY FAR BACK THE EARLY TRAILERS ARE DUSTY + RUFFIAN
===== THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH =====
AND NOW THE RACE HAS TURNED INTO A REAL BATTLE ON THE FRONT END
TIGER DANCER + CRIMINAL TYPE
NECK AND NECK ~ STRIDE FOR STRIDE
BUT THERE GOES -- PEEPTOAD
WITH A MONSTER LEAP OF HER OWN
TO JOIN THE FRONT RUNNING DUO
AND NOW THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES
THE REASON IS THAT DUSTY SUDDENLY WOKE UP AND REALIZED
THAT SHE IS IN A RACE AND FIRED ON ALL CYLINDERS TO JOIN UP
WITH PEEPTOAD JUST IN BEHIND THE LEADERS
CATALINA LOST GROUND ON THE TURN AND IS NEXT
===== AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME =====
TIGER DANCER ALL OUT RUNNING FOR A REPEAT VICTORY
CRIMINAL TYPE SHOWING BRILLIANT ENERGY + SPEED
TRYING TO DENY HER THAT VICTORY
DUSTY + PEEPTOAD JUST 2 LENGTHS BEHIND THE DYNAMIC DUO
AND IT'S ANOTHER SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO
CATALINA ~ RUFFIAN ~ JOHN HENRY ~ BLUNNY
AT THE BACK WHO HAS TRAILED THE FIELD FROM THE GATE IS CIGARSHOP
WHO HAS APPEARED LETHARGIC FROM THE START
AND NOW THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AGAIN ECHOING A MIGHTY ROAR
AS TIGER DANCER + CRIMINAL TYPE ARE LOCKED IN A POWER BATTLE
THE FILLY RUNNING HER HEART OUT FOR THE REPEAT WIN
THE COLT WITH DYNAMIC DETERMINATION RUNNING LIKE A 2 YR OLD
NEITHER ONE GIVING IN OR GIVING UP
THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD
CAN TIGER DANCER HOLD ON FOR A REPEAT ~
OR WILL THE CRIMINAL SNEAK IN AND STEAL THE GLORY
=== HERE COMES THE WIRE ===
**NO PHOTO FINISH TODAY FOLKS
WITH A FINAL SURGE OF POWER ~ ~ ~
CRIMINAL TYPE HAS STOLEN THE WIN + THE GLORY
FROM THE DANCING TIGER
WHO GAVE A BREATHTAKING PERFORMANCE
