**RESULTS**



GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
MIDWEEK~MAYHEM @ EVANGELINE DOWNS

WE HAVE A TENACIOUS FIELD OF 10 TO CONTEST TODAY'S RACE
BUT ALSO HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF LATE SCRATCHES:
CATALINA AND STARK -- UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THEIR TRAINERS
ARE TAKING A LITTLE TIME OFF FOR R&R

THE POST PARADE IS JUST ENDING AND THE HORSES ARE ENTERING
THE STARTING GATE WITHOUT INCIDENT
.... ALTHOUGH DUSTY DOES SEEM A BIT AGITATED

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO




IT'S A TIGHTLY BUNCHED GROUP HEADING INTO THE FIRST TURN
LED BY EL-PRADO FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY CIGARSHOP

JUST A LENGTH BEHIND THAT PAIR IS A TRIO OF
BLUNNY...... REAL QUIET ...... OAKLAWN CAPPER

JUST ANOTHER LENGTH BEHIND THAT GROUP ARE
RUFFIAN & CRIMINAL TYPE

AND TRAILING THE FIELD IN THE EARLY GOING ARE
TIGER DANCER ... JOHN HENRY & DUSTY

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

AND NOW THE REAL RUNNING HAS BEGUN
AS IT IS EL-PRADO STILL LEADING THE WAY
AS SHE HAS FROM THE GATE
WITH POWER SPEED & AUTHORITY

TIGER DANCER & RUFFIAN
WITH POWERFUL ACCELERATION ARE NOW WITHIN 3 LENGTHS
OF THE LEADER WHO IS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN

BLUNNY
RUNNING STRONGLY AS HE HAS FROM THE GATE AND NOW
HAS RUN PAST TIGER DANCER & RUFFIAN
... TO BE ONLY A LENGTH BEHIND EL PRADO

IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO A TRIO OF
CIGARSHOP - OAKLAWN CAPPER - REAL QUIET

EVEN FARTHER BACK ARE
JOHN HENRY --- CRIMINAL TYPE & DUSTY

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

EL PRADO LEADING THE WAY SHOWING NO SIGNS OF TIRING

BLUNNY & TIGER DANCER
IN A TIGHTLY LOCKED BATTLE ARE NEXT

EL PRADO HAS SHOWN NOTHING BUT STRENGTH & POWER FROM
THE GATE & APPEARS TO BE HEADED FOR THE WINNER'S CIRCLE AS
BLUNNY & TIGER DANCER ARE ALL OUT
TRYING TO CATCH THE FIERY FAST FILLY

HOLD ON FOLKS!
SOMETHING HAS THE CROWD UP ON THEIR FEET ROARING BUT
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS YET

OH...... NOW WE SEE WHAT IT IS!

FROM A MILE AWAY AT THE BACK OF THE PACK ---
CRIMINAL TYPE HAS FIRED LIKE A CANNON
HE IS PASSING ONE AFTER ANOTHER LIKE A ROCKET




HE HAS FLOWN BY THE REST OF THE FIELD
LIKE PEGASUS ON A MISSION
BUT WILL IT BE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE?




HE HAS GONE ON BY EVERYONE EXCEPT EL-PRADO AND NOW HAS
SET HIS AIM ON THE FRONT RUNNING LEADER

THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD
AND EL-PRADO IS STILL GOING STRONG
WITH CRIMINAL TYPE NOW JUST OFF OF HER TAIL

THE CROWD IS GOING WILD BECAUSE THERE IS JUST NO WAY THAT
EL PRADO COULD LOSE THIS ONE!

BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT EVERYBODY THOUGHT IN HER LAST RACE
WHEN AT THE LAST MOMENT RUFFIAN FLEW ON BY TO WIN

AND HERE IS THE WIRE
HOLD ALL TICKETS ---- TOO CLOSE TO CALL
PHOTOS WILL DETERMINE ALL 4 PLACINGS!

~Whooooooo..... Will Win??~


4 LIGHTS FLASHING
4 TRAINERS ON THE FIELD
4 JOCKEYS ON THE PHONE




THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE CLOSEST FINISHES WE HAVE SEEN LATELY
AND DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING

THE LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED FLASHING.....

QUITE THE DRAMATIC VICTORY --- TOP DOG TODAY!!
