GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR~SATURDAY AT SARATOGA


THE POST PARADE IS JUST BEGINNING
FOR OUR FEATURE EVENT OF THE DAY
WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL LATE SCRATCHES
LEAVING US WITH A FIELD OF 10

Image

--- BLUNNY'S FLIGHT WAS RE-ROUTED AND LANDED IN TEXAS

--- OAKLAWN CAPPER IS STILL STRANDED IN ARKANSAS
BUT HIS TRAINER INFORMED US HE WILL RETURN SOON

--- REAL QUIET IS MIA AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY -
(ABDUCTED BY ALIENS PURRRHAPS???)
Image ~Oooops; This is Bovine NOT Equine~


THE HORSES ARE STANDING QUIETLY IN THE STARTING GATE
AND JUST WAITING FOR JOHN HENRY TO SETTLE DOWN

AND AWAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO

Image



OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD IS A TRIO:
OF STARK - CIGARSHOP - PEEPTOAD

BUT THEIR LEAD DOES NOT LAST VERY LONG AS
DUSTY ... RUFFIAN ... TIGER DANCER, HAVE
CAUGHT UP QUICKLY TO THE FRONT RUNNING TRIO

POST TIME MIKE & CATALINA ARE NEXT

AND TRAILING THE FIELD IN THE EARLY GOING
ARE CRIMINAL TYPE & JOHN HENRY

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
WITH A NEW LEADER IN COMMAND

RUFFIAN HAS LET HER INNER CHEETAH COME OUT TO RUN...
WITH A BREATHTAKING TURN OF FOOT
TAKING OVER THE LEAD EASILY

TIGER DANCER - PEEPTOAD & DUSTY
ALSO HAVE TURNED UP THE HEAT
SETTING BLISTERING FRACTIONS --- AS THE 4 FILLYS LEAD THE WAY

Image


IT'S JUST A FEW LENGTHS BACK TO STARK
WHO IS RUNNING STRONGLY
AS HE CLOSES THE GAP WITH EVERY STRIDE

POST TIME MIKE - CIGARSHOP & CATALINA ARE ANOTHER 7 LENGTHS BACK

AS CRIMINAL TYPE & JOHN HENRY CONTINUE TO TRAIL

Image~Heard any good jokes lately??~ -- :lol:


THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

RUFFIAN SUDDENLY SPOOKED AT SOMETHING
AND IS DROPPING BACK BADLY ....
OPENING THE DOOR FOR TIGER DANCER TO TAKE
COMMAND OF THE LEAD WITH POWERFUL AUTHORITY

STARK IS MOVING UP QUICKLY INTO CONTENTION ---
AND NOW IS JUST 5 LENGTHS BEHIND
THE FREAKY FAST FILLY IN FRONT


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


TIGER DANCER IS TOTALLY IN COMMAND
SHOWING INCREDIBLE SPEED ... BLISTERING FRACTIONS
AND SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN
IF ANYTHING ... SHE HAS INCREASED HER SPEED
AS THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD

SUDDENLY THERE IS A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD
AS EVERYONE IS UP ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES

Image

WHAT HAS CAUSED ALL THE COMMOTION ---
IS AN EXPLOSIVE LATE RUN BY NOT JUST ONE ... BUT 2 COLTS
WHO ARE CLOSING LIKE TWIN METEORS ACROSS THE SKY

POST TIME MIKE ALONG WITH CRIMINAL TYPE
FROM ANOTHER TIME ZONE
ARE PASSING EVERYONE IN THEIR PATH!
BUT STILL WITH A HUGE AMOUNT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP BEFORE THE WIRE

IT'S DOUBTFUL EITHER COLT CAN WIN
BUT MAY BE FAST ENOUGH TO SNAG A PIECE OF THE PURSE

STARK CONTINUES TO GAIN ON THE FAST FILLY IN FRONT AS NOW
THE RACE HAS TURNED INTO A SERIOUS BATTLE BETWEEN THE
FIERY FILLY & THE COURAGEOUS COLT!

TIGER DANCER WITH ONE MORE ASTONISHING ACCELERATION
AND THE WIRE JUST AHEAD ....
DANCING TO A VICTORY GALLOP SONG IN HER OWN MIND .....
JUST YARDS TO GLORY .....

BUT FOLKS ...... AS WE ALL KNOW --- OVER AND OVER AGAIN -- :roll:

IT AINT OVER TILL THE STOUT LADY SINGS

AS STARK FIRES A SHOT HEARD ROUND THE TRACK
PASSING THE TENACIOUS TIGER
AND HIS NOSE TOUCHES THE WIRE

TRULY A RACE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS:
TRACK SETTING FRACTIONS
THRILLING FINAL FURLONG
DRAMATIC STRETCH RUN BY ALL FOUR
STARK -- TIGER DANCER -- POST TIME MIKE
AND CRIMINAL TYPE WHO, LIKE THE MASTER THIEF HE IS ...
MANAGES TO STEAL THE PRECIOUS AFTER
WATCHING 9 TAILS IN FRONT OF HIM MOST OF THE RACE


**SUPER "STARK THE SHARK" IS BACK!
