We Now Turn You Over To Our
Track Announcer ~
LA GRUMPY FELINUS
Thank U Trevor
The Horses Are All In Except For
JOHN HENRY who is being a very bad actor
refusing to go into his gate while kicking out
at the handlers who are trying their best
to calm him down
This Colt clearly has NO interest in running
anywhere except back to his stall and hay!
OK --- The Handlers Got Clever
Offering him a peppermint he decided to
enter the gate and let the jockey back on
NOW WE ARE READY TO RUN!
AND ------
AWAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO!
Roaring Out Of The Gate...
RUFFIAN Lets The Cheetah Out Early
Taking Command
But EL PRADO Is Quick to recover from
a slow start and has shot right past RUFFIAN
To take over the Lead
CRIMINAL TYPE & CATALINA
Side by side are next just 2 Lengths off
the front running Fillies
CIGARSHOP

DUSTY ~ TIGER DANCER ~ JOHN HENRY
INTO THE TURN
ITS EL PRADO
Having Things Her Own Way Out In Front

HERE COMES CIGARSHOP
Clearly With Running On His Mind He
Is not about to let the Filly get away
with an uncontested lead and has turned
up the heat
CRIMINAL TYPE

speed is right there
EL PRADO ~ CIGARSHOP ~ CRIMINAL TYPE
