GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR~SATURDAY AT OAKLAWN PARK


Image

WE HAVE 12 "REBELS" TO RUN FOR GLORY TODAY
WITH ONLY THE SCRATCH OF JOHN HENRY
WHO MAY NOT BE FULLY RECOVERED FROM HIS
TIME IN THE EQUINE HOSPITAL
WE WISH HIM WELL & HOPEFULLY BACK IN THE GATE SOON!

THE HORSES ARE LOADING CALMLY WITHOUT INCIDENT
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF POST TIME MIKE
WHO IS PUTTING UP QUITE A FUSS AND GIVING THE HANDLERS A HARD TIME

HERE COMES THE BLINDFOLD WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING
SO THEY WILL OPEN THE FRONT OF THE GATE
AND BACK THAT BAD BOY IN!
THE COLT IS NOW IN HIS GATE AND WE ARE READY TO RUN

AND THEY'RE OFF IN THE "REBEL 12" STAKES

Image

WHOA!
POST TIME MIKE HAS GONE DOWN TO HIS KNEES
STUMBLING OUT OF THE GATE ALMOST LOSING HIS JOCKEY

FIRING RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE IS
DEFENDING CHAMPION -- STARK
GOING RIGHT FOR THE EARLY LEAD & WHO IS RUNNING
FOR A 3-PEAT VICTORY GALLOP!

BUT HIS LEAD HAS BEEN DIMINISHED QUICKLY AS A TRIO
OF RUNNERS ARE RIGHT ON HIS TAIL

PEEPTOAD -- BLUNNY -- REAL QUIET

THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE TIGHTLY BUNCHED
AND RUNNING ABOUT FIVE LENGTHS BEHIND
THE FRONT RUNNING LEADERS
EXCEPT FOR TIGER DANCER AND POST TIME MIKE
WHO ARE VERY FAR BACK TRAILING THE FIELD

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME BUT NOW THINGS HAVE DRASTICALLY CHANGED!

PEEPTOAD & OAKLAWN CAPPER HAVE PULLED AWAY
FROM THE FIELD WITH REAL QUIET RIGHT AT THEIR TAILS

DUSTY --- CRIMINAL TYPE & STARK ARE NEXT

IT IS A HUGE GAP BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD
WHO JUST CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE SIX IN THE LEAD

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

PEEPTOAD & OAKLAWN CAPPER
NECK & NECK .......... STRIDE FOR STRIDE
BOTH SHOWING EXTRAORDINARY SPEED AND POWER

REAL QUIET AND DUSTY ARE LOCKED IN
A BATTLE OF THEIR OWN AND ONLY A LENGTH
BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING DUO

STARK WHO STARTED OFF VERY STRONGLY
HAS NOW DROPPED BACK INTO 5th

RUFFIAN FINALLY LET HER INNER CHEETAH LOOSE
AND HAS CAUGHT UP TO THE FRONT RUNNING FIVE

ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK ARE
CATALINA - BLUNNY - CRIMINAL TYPE
AND TIGER DANCER WHO FINALLY WOKE UP

RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE ARE
CIGARSHOP & POST TIME MIKE

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

PEEPTOAD JUST A HEAD IN FRONT
OF OAKLAWN CAPPER WHO IS RUNNING
ON HIS "HOME TRACK" AND WAS EXPECTED
TO RUN WELL HERE TODAY
AND HE HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED HIS DEVOTED FANS!

REAL QUIET IS RUNNING STRONGLY AND IS JUST OFF THE TAILS
OF THE FRONT RUNNING DUO STILL IN WITH A GOOD CHANCE

DUSTY IS JUST 2 LENGTHS BEHIND HIM

AND THEN THERE IS A BIG GAP BACK TO
DEFENDING CHAMPION STARK WHO WILL NOT WIN THE GLORY
OF A 3-PEAT TODAY LEAVING HIS FANS VERY DISAPPOINTED

RUNNING RIGHT WITH HIM IS RUFFIAN

CATALINA AND BLUNNY ARE NEXT
THEN IT IS CRIMINAL TYPE & TIGER DANCER

CIGAR SHOP IS STRUGGLING

AND POST TIME MIKE LOOKS LIKE
HE'S OUT FOR A WALK IN THE PARK
SHOWING NO SPEED AT ALL
HAVING GONE TO HIS KNEES COMING OUT OF THE GATE
LOSING ALL HOPE OF RUNNING A GOOD RACE

THE CROWD IS GOING WILD AS PEEPTOAD
IS SHOWING EXCEPTIONAL DYNAMIC DETERMINATION
TRYING TO HOLD OFF THE CHALLENGE OF
OAKLAWN CAPPER WHO IS EQUALLY DETERMINED
TO STAND IN THE WINNERS CIRCLE

REAL QUIET RUNNING STRONGLY IS NOT OUT OF IT YET

IT IS GOING TO COME RIGHT DOWN TO THE WIRE
AND COULD BE A PHOTO FINISH FOR THE WIN

BUT SUDDENLY PEEPTOAD DECIDED THAT ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH
AND IT WAS TIME TO TURN UP THE HEAT
AND FLASH HER TAIL IN OAKLAWN CAPPER'S FACE

AND INDEED HER SUPER SPEED WAS ENOUGH
FOR HER PRETTY NOSE TO TOUCH THE WIRE FIRST!

OAKLAWN CAPPER -- RUNNING ON HIS HOME TRACK
RAN AN EXCEPTIONAL RACE WITH NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF FOR HIS FANS

REAL QUIET ALSO RAN STRONGLY FROM THE GATE TO FINISH A STRONG THIRD

DUSTY RAN WELL - JUST NOT SPEEDY ENOUGH
BUT DOES MANAGE TO STEAL "THE PRECIOUS"

DEFENDING CHAMPION STARK WILL NOT COMPLETE
THE ELUSIVE 3-PEAT GLORY TODAY BUT DOES CAPTURE
THE FROSTED WHISKER TROPHY!
AN HONOR OF ITS OWN!

STARK IS FOLLOWED BY:
RUFFIAN
CATALINA
BLUNNY
CRIMINAL TYPE
TIGER DANCER
CIGAR SHOP
POST TIME MIKE
