WELCOME TO SUPURRR~SATURDAY
AND OUR FEATURE EVENT OF THE DAY
WE HAVE 12 RUNNERS ALL READY
TO LEAVE THEIR STALLS AND THEIR HAY
THE CROWD IS VERY EXCITED
TO SEE WHO HAS COME TO THE PARK
BUT ALSO A BIT DISAPPOINTED
AT NO OAKLAWN CAPPER & STARK
THE POST PARADE IS NOW OVER
AND INTO THE GATE THEY ALL GO
THE JOCKEYS HAVE SIGNALED THEY'RE READY
AS WE HEAR "AND AWAAAAAAAY THEY ALL GO" .....
OUT FOR THE LEAD THERE ARE SEVERAL
EACH OF THEM HOPING TO SCORE
CRIMINAL TYPE & JOHN HENRY
REAL QUIET & PEEPTOAD MAKE 4
ONLY A FEW LENGTHS BEHIND THEM
A TIGHTLY BUNCHED GROUP NOW WE SEE
TIGER DANCER-- CIGARSHOP & DUSTY
AND 2 MORE NOW JOINING THOSE THREE
POST TIME MIKE RUNNING STRONGLY
ALONGSIDE OF HIM WE SEE RUFF
THE 3 WHO ARE TRAILING BEHIND THEM
ARE FINDING THIS TRACK A BIT TOUGH
OUT OF THE TURN THEY ALL COME
WITH A MATCH RACE NOW UNDERWAY
IT'S PEEPTOAD & BLUNNY TOGETHER
WITH REAL QUIET NOT FOR AWAY
TIGER DANCER IS FLASHING HER SPEED NOW
JOHN HENRY AND CIGARSHOP LOOK STRONG
RUFFIAN & CATALINA TOGETHER
BUT, SEEM TO JUST MOSEY ALONG
AND VERY FAR BACK NOW WE SEE
TWO FILLYS STRUGGLING TO RUN
NEITHER HAS SHOWN ANY SPEED
FROM THE GATE WHEN THE RACE HAD BEGUN
DUSTY AND EL PRADO TOGETHER
ARE WAY AT THE BACK OF THE PACK
THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING SOME TROUBLE
PERHAPS IT'S THE SAND IN THE TRACK?
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH NOW
WITH PEEPTOAD WHO'S PULLING AWAY
BLUNNY & REAL QUIET BEHIND HER
BUT IS THIS HOW THE FINISH WILL STAY?
AND DOWN THE STRETCH HERE THEY COME
WHEN SUDDENLY WE HEAR A LOUD ROAR
SOMEONE IS CLOSING LIKE LIGHTNING
BUT ... NOT ONE OF THE FRONT RUNNING 4!
FROM WAY AT THE BACK FAR BEHIND
POST TIME MIKE HAS SUDDENLY SOARED
BUT WITH SO MUCH GROUND TO MAKE UP
CAN HE GET THERE IN TIME & THEN SCORE?
PEEPTOAD IS SIMPLY UNYIELDING
SHE IS ALL OUT AND RUNNING FOR GLORY
BUT POST TIME MIKE IS DETERMINED
TO REWRITE THE END OF THIS STORY!
NOW JOINING THE FRONT RUNNING DUO
EACH WITH A CHANCE AT THE MONEY
REAL QUIET IS COMING ON FAST
AND EQUALLY SPEEDY IS BLUNNY
TIGER DANCER IS ALSO RIGHT THERE
ALL FIVE HAVE A SHOT AT THE WIRE
A PHOTO WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE
WHOSE STAMINA REFUSED TO TIRE
THE TOTE BOARD FLASHING LIKE XMAS
OBJECTIONS BY ALL FIVE WE SEE
TRAINERS ALL OUT ON THE FIELD NOW
SO WHO WILL THE REAL WINNER BE?
5 JOCKEYS ARE ALL ON THE PHONE
EACH HAVING PLENTY TO SAY
STEWARDS ARE CAUGHT IN A FRENZY
WISHING THEY COULD GO AWAY!
BUT OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT WON'T HAPPEN
THEY ARE PAID TO MAKE THE RIGHT CALL
TO LISTEN TO ALL THE OBJECTIONS
AND THEN TO BE FAIR TO THEM ALL
THE LIGHTS HAVE FINALLY STOPPED FLASHING
THE CROWD IS UP ON THEIR FEET
DID PEEPTOAD HOLD ON AT THE WIRE
WAS THE DEFENDING CHAMPION BEAT?
ALL 5 SEPARATED BY A WHISKER
ONE OF THE CLOSEST RACES WE'VE SEEN
BUT POST TIME MIKE REALLY DID IT
BY A NOSE HE OUT RAN THE QUEEN
THE SECOND-PLACE WILL GO TO PEEPTOAD
THE SHOW SPOT WAS A NOSE FOR THE MONEY
AND REAL QUIET JUST SQUEEZED ON BY
"THE PRECIOUS" WILL THEN GO TO BLUNNY
BY HALF OF A WHISKER = $.60
TIGER DANCER LOST OUT FOR THE RING
BUT SHE GAVE ALL SHE HAD FROM THE GATE
AT THE END NOT ENOUGH SPEED DID SHE BRING
SO HERE IS THE ORDER OF FINISH
OF WHO RAN SO STRONG... & WHO NOT
ONE THING WE KNOW AT DAYS END
THE FRONT RUNNING 5 SURE WERE HOT
