SUPURRR SATURDAY RESULTS = 4/4

[RUFFIAN]

BIG EXCITEMENT RULED THE DAY
WITH HIGH STAKES TO BE THE PRIZE
ELEVEN ENTERED THE GATE
UNDER WONDERFULLY SUNNY SKIES

AND WITH MUCH ANTICIPATION
WE HEARD --- 'AWAAAAAAAAY THEY GO'
THEN TWO SHOT OUT OF THE GATE
BUT THE REST WERE MIGHTY SLOW

CRIMINAL TYPE + REAL QUIET
THE ONES WHO FIRED A SHOT
THERE WAS NO DOUBT AT ALL
THESE TWO WERE HOT TO TROT


AROUND THE TURN THEY WENT
JOHN HENRY PICKED UP THE PACE
CIGARSHOP + BLUNNY WOKE UP
THEN PEEPTOAD JOINED THE RACE

POST TIME MIKE WAS RIGHT THERE
OFF A LONG LAYOFF HE CAME BACK
SHOWING HIS EXPERTISE
AND SEEMING TO LIKE THE TRACK

IT WAS SEVERAL LENGTHS TO RUFFIAN
AND BEHIND HER WAY AT THE REAR
WERE DUSTY + EL PRADO
CATALINA WAS NOWHERE NEAR!

AT THE HEAD OF THE STRETCH THINGS CHANGED
REAL QUIET + POST TIME MIKE NOW LED
CRIMINAL TYPE HAD BACKED UP BADLY
AND THEN PEEPTOAD MOVED AHEAD

THEN WITH A MIGHTY TURN OF FOOT
POST TIME MIKE JUST SAID "ENOUGH!"
AND SHOT RIGHT PAST REAL QUIET
WHO STILL SEEMED MIGHTY TUFF!

PEEPTOAD TURNED UP THE HEAT
TO JOIN THE COLTS AHEAD
EL PRADO PICKED UP SPEED
OVER CRIMINAL TYPE BY A HEAD

BLUNNY BACKED UP BADLY
DUSTY WAS NEVER IN IT
RUFFIAN + JOHN HENRY
SIMPLY HAD NO CHANCE TO WIN IT

BUT SUDDENLY IN THE GRANDSTAND
EVERYONE ON THEIR FEET WE SEE
ALL SCREAMING LIKE THE BANSHEES
THE CAUSE ........ WHAT COULD IT BE?

AND THEN WE SAW THE REASON
AS BLAZING UP THE TRACK
WAS THE FILLY CATALINA
WHO WAS FIRING FROM WAY BACK

THE SPEED WAS RECORD BREAKING
THE CROWD JUST SCREAMED IN AWE
AS THE FILLY MOVED UP CLOSER
A SHOCKER IS WHAT WE SAW

AND THEN IN THE FINAL FURLONGS
WITH THE TWO COLTS ON THE LEAD
WE ALL JUST SIMPLY WONDERED
DID SHE HAVE WHAT SHE WOULD NEED

TO REACH THOSE COLTS IN TIME
TO BE FIRST AT THE WIRE
WAS SHE HOPING DEEP WITHIN
THAT THEY WOULD SIMPLY TIRE

BUT NEITHER COLT WAS FADING
POST TIME MIKE WOULD NOT GIVE IN
AND REAL QUIET WAS LIKELY THINKING
NO DANG FILLY WAS GONNA WIN!


WITH THE WIRE JUST YARDS AHEAD
CATALINA GOT VERY TUFF
DETERMINED TO BEAT THOSE COLTS
EVEN IF IT MEANT GET VERY RUFF

WITH THE TWO COLTS IN A MATCH RACE
AND TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE
CATALINA WITH ONE CHOICE
AND THAT WAS GO REAL WIDE

BUT HER STRONG DETERMINATION
AND THE POWER SHE FOUND WITHIN
GAVE HER JUST ENOUGH MOMENTUM
TO DIG DEEP AND FINALLY WIN!

AND THE COLTS WHO JUST GOT BEATEN
WERE APPARENTLY SHOCKED WITH AWE
WHEN THAT FIREY FILLY ROARED PAST
AND HER WIN IS WHAT THEY SAW


SO CONGRATS TO CATALINA
WITH A SHOCKING CLOSING RUN
ON A DAY FILLED WITH SURPRISES
AND AMAZING SUPURRRR FUN
