**RESULTS**


GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR SATURDAY AT GULFSTREAM PARK


OUR FEATURE EVENT FIELD CAME UP A LITTLE SHORT
AS WE HAD 4 LATE SCRATCHES

TIGER DANCER WAS THE VICTIM OF A FLIGHT
CANCELLATION DUE TO TECHNICAL ISSUES

ALSO MISSING IN ACTION ARE
CIGARSHOP, OAKLAWN CAPPER & POST TIME MIKE

THE LATE SCRATCHES HAD LEFT US WITH A FINE FIELD OF 9

WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME JOHN HENRY
BACK TO THE GATE AFTER SPENDING TIME AT THE EQUINE HOSPITAL

THE POST PARADE HAS JUST ENDED
AS THE HORSES ARE ENTERING THE STARTING GATE WITHOUT INCIDENT

STARK IS ACTING UP A LITTLE BIT -
BUT WITH A PEPPERMINT & A LITTLE COAXING HE
HAS AGREED TO GO IN

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO


OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD IS JOHN HENRY
AND JOINING HIM VERY QUICKLY IS PEEPTOAD
ALONG WITH CRIMINAL TYPE AND CATALINA

COMING OUT OF THE TURN ---
THE FRONT RUNNERS HAVE BEEN JOINED NOW BY
REAL QUIET & BLUNNY

DUSTY AND RUFFIAN ARE FARTHER BACK
AND SHOWING NO SPEED YET

TRAILING THE FIELD IS STARK WHO HAS NOT
GOTTEN INTO GEAR YET

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


CRIMINAL TYPE SUDDENLY JUMPED A SHADOW ---
FADING BADLY ALMOST CLIPPING HEELS WITH RUFFIAN

THE SPEED HAS INCREASED DRASTICALLY
AS REAL QUIET & BLUNNY HAVE NOW TAKEN OVER COMMAND OF THE RACE

IT'S PRETTY FAR BACK TO CATALINA -
JOHN HENRY & PEEPTOAD WHO NOW ARE PLAYING A CATCH-UP GAME
WITH A LOT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP
AFTER THE OTHER TWO COLTS FIRED LIKE TWIN MISSILES!

THERE IS A BIG GAP BACK TO
DUSTY, RUFFIAN AND CRIMINAL TYPE

EVEN FARTHER BACK IS STARK
WHO SEEMS TO BE HAVING AN ISSUE
WITH THIS TRACK SURFACE TODAY

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


IT NOW HAS TURNED INTO A TWO HORSE RACE
WITH REAL QUIET AND BLUNNY

BOTH COLTS ARE RUNNING NECK AND NECK ---
STRIDE FOR STRIDE --- EVENLY MATCHED
NEITHER ONE SHOWING ANY SIGN OF SLOWING DOWN

IT'S A CLOSE BATTLE FOR A PIECE OF THE PURSE
BETWEEN CATALINA AND JOHN HENRY

THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD
WHEN SUDDENLY THERE'S A ROAR FROM THE CROWD
AS REAL QUIET DECIDED TO PUT AN END TO THE "MATCH RACE"
AND ASSERT HIS SUPERIORITY OVER BLUNNY ....

WITH ONE FINAL POWERFUL MOVE
HIS NOSE TOUCHES THE WIRE FIRST

THERE WILL BE A PHOTO FINISH FOR THE SHOW SPOT
--------- BETWEEN CATALINA AND JOHN HENRY

THE PHOTO FINISH RESULT SHOWS
CATALINA TAKING THE SHOW SPOT
& JOHN HENRY TAKING HOME "THE PRECIOUS"

REAL QUIET AND BLUNNY BOTH RAN A POWERFUL RACE
LEAVING THE REST OF THE FIELD PLAYING CATCH UP
MOST OF THE TIME

So now now only am I a gelding but they're adding 4 wraps and sending me to shock wave therapy before my next race.

Just curious.......does this performance mean I get to keep score sometime soon?

p.s. congrats to Real Quiet and those completing the superfecta, job well done!

STARK....

Exciting good news just for you

I consulted with Dr. Bramlage The renowned horse veterinarian regarding
doing a reversal of your GELDING STATUS to being a COLT again!!!

He said that was not a big deal
& could be done immediately!

Isn't that exciting!
So by your next race you'll be just like the other colts ----- Maybe even Faster! ;)
