**RESULTS**



GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
MIDWEEK~MAYHEM AT PRESQUE ISLE DOWNS

OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY IS ANOTHER RACE
IN OUR ONGOING SERIES ~
BOTS = BATTLE OF THE SEXES = COLT DOGS -VS- FILLY KITTIES




DEFENDING CHAMPION TIGER DANCER WILL
TRY TO REPEAT HER DRAMATIC SHOCKING WIN
OF LAST TIME WHEN IN THE FINAL STRIDES ...
WITH ONE LAST SURGE OF POWER...
SHE STOLE THE 3-PEAT GLORY FROM
THE "MASTER-THIEF" -- CRIMINAL TYPE
WHO WILL DEFINITELY BE OUT FOR REVENGE TODAY!

WE HAVE HAD A FEW SCRATCHES INCLUDING
CIGARSHOP - OAKLAWN CAPPER- EL PRADO
LEAVING US WITH A SMALL BUT TALENTED FIELD OF NINE

THE HORSES ARE LOADED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND NOW
JUST WAITING FOR TIGER DANCER TO SETTLE DOWN
THE FILLY SEEMS ON EDGE & ANXIOUS FOR SOME REASON

AND AWAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO




WITH HOOVES ON FIRE....
RUFFIAN & CATALINA HAVE LEFT THE REST WONDERING
IF THEIR GATES HAD MALFUNCTIONED
AS THE 2 FREAKY FAST FILLYS HAVE TAKEN A GIGANTIC LEAD




OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME


RUFFIAN & CATALINA STILL RUNNING STRONGLY IN THE LEAD

BUT THE LEAD DID NOT LAST LONG
AS ONE COLT DECIDED EARLY ON
THAT REVENGE IS A TASTY DISH ... AND THOSE FILLIES
ARE GONNA EAT CROW INSTEAD OF OATS TODAY :4funnies_com_animated_emotico
AS HE SPROUTED IMAGINARY WINGS
TO FLY PAST BOTH OF THEM & TAKE COMMAND!




CRIMINAL TYPE NOW IN TOTAL CONTROL OF THE RACE
HAS RUN AWAY FROM THE FIELD WITH A 7 LENGTH LEAD




CATALINA & RUFFIAN STILL RUNNING STRONGLY
BUT LOSING GROUND AS CRIMINAL TYPE HAS
INCREASED HIS SPEED - SETTING INCREDIBLE FRACTIONS

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO STARK & JOHN HENRY

IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO BLUNNY & REAL QUIET

AND EVEN FARTHER BACK ARE TIGER DANCER & DUSTY
WHO SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING WITH THE TRACK SURFACE
SHOWING NO SPEED AT ALL YET




THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

CRIMINAL TYPE IN TOTAL COMMAND LEADS BY
10 LENGTHS & INCREASING THAT LEAD WITH EVERY STRIDE

CATALINA & RUFFIAN CONTINUE TO PLAY CATCH-THE-COLT
WHICH JUST ISN'T HAPPENING

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

CRIMINAL TYPE RUNNING LIKE A 2-YEAR OLD SHOWING
INCREDIBLE SPEED & DETERMINATION
HAS LEFT THE FIELD RUNNING FOR 2ND AS HE SUDDENLY
FOUND YET ANOTHER GEAR AND WITH AN AMAZING
TURN OF FOOT HAS EXTENDED HIS LEAD EVEN MORE

BUT JUST WHEN IT SEEMED THAT NOTHING ELSE
COULD BRING THE CROWD TO THEIR FEET.....

SURPRISE -- SURPRISE -- SURPRISE!
.... NO ----- NOT GOMER PYLE!



JOHN HENRY SUDDENLY FOUND HIS MOJO THAT
HAD BEEN HIDING SINCE THE GATE OPENED...




AND NOW THE COLT HAS FIRED ON ALL CYLINDERS
AS HE FLEW BY CATALINA & RUFFIAN
AS IF THE FILLYS WERE JUST TROTTING!

WITH THE WIRE JUST AHEAD THERE WAS NO WAY
HE COULD CATCH THE MASTER-THIEF
WHO STOLE THE RACE EARLY ON ....
BUT AT LEAST HE COULD BRING BOTS EXACTA GLORY
HOME FOR THE COLTS ...
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID IN THE FINAL FURLONG

{.....TODAY; THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT WEEK} --


REVENGE = THE NAME OF THE GAME TODAY ....



CRIMINAL TYPE -- HAVING LOST THE 3-PEAT IN THE
FINAL STRIDES TO TIGER DANCER......LAST TIME
SEEMED DETERMINED FROM THE START
THAT JUSTICE WOULD BE HIS --- AND SO IT WAS

TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY---
TIGER DANCER NOT ONLY DIDN'T REPEAT ~
SHE MANAGED TO WIN THE KEY TO THE CAT HOUSE!



**CONGRATS TO THE "OLE WAR HORSE"
WHO PROVED YET AGAIN....
AGE IS MIND OVER MATTER
AND IF YA DON'T MIND ~ IT DON'T MATTER!
