GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR~SATURDAY AT SARATOGA
OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY IS
"THE SPALICIOUS STAKES"
WE HAVE A FULL GATE OF 14 READY TO RUN
WITH 13 ALREADY IN AND STANDING NICELY
JUST WAITING FOR CRIMINAL TYPE TO AGREE
TO GO IN AS ONCE AGAIN THE COLT IS BEING
FRISKY ... FRACTIOUS & FOOLISH
WITH ADDITIONAL HELPERS PLUS A CARROT
THE QUIRKY COLT HAS GONE IN
AND THEY'RE OFF .... IN THE SPALICIOUS STAKES
OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD IS OAKLAWN CAPPER AND DUSTY
IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO A QUINTETTE OF
BLUNNY ~ EL PRADO ~ PEEPTOAD ~ REAL QUIET & POST TIME MIKE
THE REST OF THE FIELD IS FAR BACK WITH
CRIMINAL TYPE BRINGING UP THE REAR
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
OAKLAWN CAPPER WITH A SLIGHT LEAD OVER CIGARSHOP
DUSTY DID NOT HANDLE THE TURN WELL AND HAS DROPPED BACK
CRIMINAL TYPE SUDDENLY FOUND HIS MOJO
MAKING AN EXPLOSIVE MOVE FROM LAST
TO WITHIN A HALF LENGTH OF THE 2 COLTS IN FRONT
JOINING CRIMINAL TYPE --
WITH A DRAMATIC SURGE OF SPEED IS PEEPTOAD
IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO
DUSTY - CATALINA - BLUNNY -
REAL QUIET & POST TIME MIKE
THE "CLOSERS" HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO SHOW
ANY SPEED AT THE HALFWAY POINT
RUFFIAN - EL PRADO - TIGER DANCER - JOHN HENRY
& STARK HAVE YET TO GET INTO GEAR
THEYRE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
OAKLAWN CAPPER SUDDENLY SPOOKED AT
SOMETHING ON THE TRACK --
VEERING SHARPLY TO HIS RIGHT --
ALMOST CLIPPING HEELS WITH CRIMINAL TYPE
WHO EMERGED FROM THE INCIDENT SEEMINGLY UNSCATHED
AND EVEN INCREASING HIS SPEED!
THIS LEFT CIGARSHOP ALONE ON THE LEAD
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
CIGARSHOP IN COMMAND
BUT SUDDENLY THERE IS A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD
A TRIO OF PEGASUS HAVE TAKEN FLIGHT
ALMOST APPEARING TO FLY AS ALL 3 ARE
PASSING EVERYONE IN THEIR WAY....
RUFFIAN --- DUSTY --- JOHN HENRY
OUT OF THE CLOUDS LIKE THE 2nd COMING OF ZENYATTA ~
AND JUST AS SUDDENLY ... AT THE SAME MOMENT
CRIMINAL TYPE & EL PRADO FIRED LIKE TWIN ROCKETS
JOINING THE SPEED DEMONS JUST AHEAD
HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOLKS...
THIS IS GONNA BE A THRILLER TO THE WIRE!
JOHN HENRY SUDDENLY FINDING HIMSELF IN FRONT
CIGARSHOP & CRIMINAL TYPE RIGHT AT HIS NECK!
A COLT TRIO WITH HOOVES OF FIRE
NECK & NECK --- STRIDE FOR STRIDE
ANY OF THE 3 COULD WIN...
OR COULD WE SEE A 3-WAY DEAD-HEAT?!?
THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD
WHEN SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS GOING WILD!
WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE UPROAR?
IT'S DUSTY WHO HAS SPROUTED WINGS OF HER OWN
AND JUST AS THE 3 COLTS WERE BATTLING TO WIN
--- THE FIERCE FIERY FILLY PUT THEM ALL AWAY
TO PUT HER PRETTY NOSE ON THE WIRE FIRST!
THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING
ALTHOUGH THE TONE OF THE VOICES SEEMS
TO BE HIGHER PITCHED AS THE LADIES
CHEERED FOR THE FAB-FILLY WHO PUT
THREE COLTS IN THEIR PLACE.... BEHIND HER!
A STUNNING SHOCKER AFTER WHAT SEEMED
LIKE A SURE THING OF COLT GLORY
