**RESULTS**



Criminal Type reporting from the Ole Dog House here at
the Charles Town Race Track in West Virginia

Bet you didn't know the Dog House is Towed each week
to the Track of the Day!

So it was quite an interesting journey up the Coast
from Gulfstream Park to West Virginia

Couldn't help singing Take Me Home Country Roads
although the Tow Truck Driver begged me to stop

We almost got a ticket for driving too slow which is
what I had asked the driver to do so I could
enjoy The View (Not the one with Whoopie)

So now on with the Show featuring the BOTS Challenge

The Battle Of The Sexes was a little unbalanced today
with 6 COLTS and only 4 FILLYS in the gate
But that has never slowed the Feisty Fillys down in the past

Today started out as a true BOTS day
a.k.a. = Battle Of The Sexes
Between Criminal Type and Dusty
Who both left the gate like twin Jets
leaving the field watching their tails disappear in the distance

But immediately Criminal Type turned up the heat
leaving Dusty playing catch-up

Things heated up even more, heading into the turn
when Cigarshop found his "MoJo" he had lost -
And soon was just a couple of lengths behind Dusty

Oaklawn Capper Showed good early speed running
Right at the heels of Cigarshop

Catalina & Blunny were another few Lengths back

Defending Champ Stark - Tiger Dancer & Real Quiet
were another few lengths back
Showing no speed at all in the early going

And all alone at the very back was Ruffian
Who apparently had left her "Inner Cheetah"
Back at the barn Cat Napping as she meandered
Along, trailing the field by at least 20 lengths

At the top of the stretch Criminal Type increased his lead
with yet another powerful move

But there might have been some Tabasco Hot Sauce essence blowing in the wind right into the noses of Dusty & Tiger Dancer
as the 2 Fillies suddenly caught fire which kept Dusty in front Of
The Speedy Cigarshop & moved Tiger Dancer right up to his tail
--- Turning Cigarshop into A "Filly Sandwich" -
Which no doubt he enjoyed!

Some of the Tabasco drifted over and was inhaled by Real Quiet
who also suddenly moved up very quickly

Back another few lengths were
Catalina & Oaklawn Capper

Stark showing no speed it all & seemed very lethargic today
when compared to his last few races

And way behind Stark it was Ruffian
Without a care in the world
Just taking in the scenery
Glancing over at the fans
And maybe thinking this was just a daily workout
Without any rush to get anywhere

And down the stretch they came
With Criminal Type leading the way
The "Master Thief" taking no prisoners today
Stealing the race from the gate

Dusty and Cigarshop running neck & neck
Trying to catch the runaway leader
But Without success

Tiger Dancer still running well but not gaining any ground
on the three in front of her

With one final desperate surge of power
Dusty managed to put her tiny nose in front of Cigarshop
to hold on for 2nd by a Filly nostril hair

Cigarshop with Mojo & Ego restored
Takes a hard earned show spot

Tiger Dancer just holds on for "The Precious"

Official order of finish shows COLTS Win BOTS
Thanks to the "Ole War Horse" Criminal Type

But we can't help but wonder if some odd "Magic"
was at work with CT winning at CT?
From Dog House to Penthouse where the "Perks"
are pretty much the same except for the Glory of Winning

1) Criminal Type = $98.80
2) Dusty = $86.40
3) Cigarshop = $81.80
4) Tiger Dancer = $55.20

Catalina = $53.60
Oaklawn Capper = $53.40
Real Quiet = $44.20
Blunny = $31.40
Stark (DC) = $16.40
(We can attribute his poor effort to the "Procedure"
performed by Dr Bramlege to Reverse his Gelding-Ness)

And the GOLDEN GOOSE EGG goes to RUFFIAN = $0
Not an easy thing to do avoiding even a 3rd place $$

So now we leave the Country Roads of West Virginia
and journey on to another adventure next week

Over & Out from the Penthouse
Bourbon & Babes waiting for the Party to start
Everyone welcome especially those Frisky Fillys!

Congrats to Criminal Type on an outstanding race and outstanding race call. The last shall be the first indeed!

Congrats to the superfecta crew led by by Criminal Type, job well done!

See y'all @ Aqueduct on Saturday.

KUDOS TO THE 'MASTER THIEF'
WHO STOLE THE RACE AWAY
CATNIP TO THE DUSTY ONE
WHO ALMOST WON THE DAY

SHE GAVE A MIGHTY CHASE
SHE DID HER BEST TO WIN
BUT WHEN THE WIRE CAME
THE DAY BELONGED TO HIM

HIS SPEED WAS O SO FAST
HIS LEAD WAS JUST TOO MUCH
AND FOR THE COLTS THIS DAY
HE HAD THE MAGIC TOUCH!

CT AT CT? HOW CAN YA BEAT THOSE ODDS!
