GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME
TO A DAY OF EXCITEMENT AND FUN
SO NOW LET'S GO AND MEET THE FIELD
13 WHO ARE READY TO RUN ....
THE HORSES ARE LOADED INTO THE GATE
ALL WENT IN WITHOUT TROUBLE TODAY
WITH SO MANY RUNNERS TRYING TO WIN
LET'S ONLY HOPE IT CAN STAY THAT WAY
THE GATES ALL OPEN AND AWAY THEY GO
WILL #13 BE LUCKY OR NOT
IT'S THE NUMBER WORN BY POST TIME MIKE
WILL THE COLT BE LETHARGIC OR HOT?
HE IS RUNNING TO REPEAT HIS LAST WIN
AND TO GARNER ALL OF THE GLORY
THE QUESTION IS HOW FAST CAN HE RUN
WILL VICTORY BE THE END OF HIS STORY
THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION WE HAD ASKED
HE HAS ANSWERED RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE
AS HE TOOK OFF LIKE A HOT ROCKET
WITH DESTINY WOULD HE HAVE A DATE?
BUT HE WASN'T ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD
HE WAS JOINED BY 2 FILLYS RIGHT AWAY
EL PRADO & CATALINA RIGHT WITH HIM
BUT IS THAT THE WAY IT WOULD STAY?
REAL QUIET BEGAN TO SHOW SPEED
THEN RUFFIAN LET OUT A ROAR
OUT OF THE TURN THEY ALL RAN
TIGER DANCER & JOHN HENY FINDING MORE
PEEPTOAD FINALLY PICKED UP HER PACE
BEHIND HER CAME DUSTY & BLUNNY
CIGARSHOP- CRIMINAL TYPE & STARK
WOULD NEED A LOT MORE FOR SOME MONEY
AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH IT WAS CLEAR
POST TIME MIKE WAS JUST RUNNING AWAY
EL PRADO HAD FADED SO BADLY
CAUSE NOTHING WAS GOING HER WAY
CATALINA WAS STILL RUNNING STRONGLY
SHE NOW WAS JUST ONE LENGTH BEHIND
SHE TURNED THINGS INTO A MATCH RACE
BUT COULD SHE BE FIRST AT THE LINE?
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY ALL CAME
POST TIME MIKE STILL LEADING THE WAY
WITH CATALINA RIGHT ON HIS TAIL
COULD SHE FIND MORE TO RUIN HIS DAY
WHEN SUDDENLY A ROAR FROM THE CROWD
HAS EVERYONE UP ON THEIR FEET
CAUSE OUT OF THE CLOUDS HERE COMES STARK
COULD HE BRING THE LEADER DEFEAT
HE HAD TURNED UP THE HEAT MIGHTY FAST
HE WAS RIGHT AT CATALINA'S LONG TAIL
THE POST TIME MIKE LOVING FANS
SUDDENLY LET OUT A SORROWFUL WAIL
AS IF THAT WEREN'T ENOUGH FOR THOSE FANS
SUDDENLY PEEPTOAD NOW WAS ON FIRE
SHE CAUGHT UP TO STARK IN A HEARTBEAT
ALL 4 HEADING RIGHT FOR THE WIRE
BUT POST TIME MIKE WAS DETERMINED
TO BE THE FIRST AT THE WIRE
HE PICKED UP HIS SPEED LIKE A JET PLANE
SHOWING NO SIGNS AT ALL HE WOULD TIRE
THE 3 WHO WERE RUNNING BEHIND HIM
WERE ALL OUT AND TRYING THEIR BEST
BUT POST TIME MIKE THEN EXTENDED
HIS LEAD OVER ALL OF THE REST
THERE WAS NO QUESTION OR DOUBT
FROM THE GATE TO THE WIRE TODAY
WHO WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST
AS POST TIME MIKE LED THE WAY
CATALINA HELD ON AS THE BRIDESMAID
BUT A PHOTO WAS NEEDED FOR SHOW
PEEPTOAD & STARK WERE SO CLOSE
BUT TO STARK THE PHOTO WOULD GO
PEEPTOAD WOULD THEN STEAL "THE PRECIOUS"
SO FOR HER THE DAY NOT A LOSS
BUT THE REPEAT WIN BY THE CHAMP
SHOWED CLEARLY WHO WAS THE BOSS
THE COMPLETE ORDER OF FINISH
WITH THE MONEY EACH RUNNER EARNED
TRYING TO CATCH THE FAST LEADER
AS THE TRACK HE HAD CLEARLY JUST BURNED
