**RESULTS**

WELCOME TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM
WE'RE AT 'OAKLAWN PARK' IN THE SUN
WE HAD A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES
LEAVING 8 NOW TO JUST 'GET ER DONE'

DEFENDING CHAMPION IS BLUNNY
WHO'S SURE GONNA TRY HIS BEST
BUT 7 OTHER TOP RUNNERS
ARE GONNA MAKE IT A TEST

EL PRADO RETURNS OFF A LAY OFF
BUT SO FAR IS RUNNING QUITE WELL
STARK IS A COLT WHO'S ON FIRE
BUT IN RACING YA NEVER CAN TELL

........

DUSTY'S BEEN GETTING SO DIZZY
SHE'S BEEN BOUNCING JUST LIKE A YO-YO
BETWEEN THE CATHOUSE -&- PENTHOUSE
SO ... TODAY WHERE WILL SHE GO-GO?

~YO-YO MAMA;
**NOT to be confused with YoYo Ma~ --

CIGARSHOP SEEMS TO JUST FIND
A UNIQUELY ODD WAY TO RUN
BUT WIN LOSE OR TIE AT THE WIRE
THIS COLT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE FUN

CATALINA ~ A SHINING STAR FILLY
A FORMER HORSE OF THE YEAR
IN ANY GIVEN RACE THAT SHE'S IN
SHE IS ALWAYS ONE THEY SHOULD FEAR!

TIGER DANCER CAN VARY HER '4-STEP'
TWEEN RUNNING REAL WELL -&- THEN NOT
SOME DAYS SHE'S DOWN IN THE CAT HOUSE
BUT OTHER DAYS SHE'S QUITE HOT

~~~~

RUFFIAN WHOSE FAST 'INNER CHEETAH'
DECIDES ON WHEN SHE WILL ROAR
EITHER SNOOZING BACK AT THE BARN
OR LIGHTNING FAST FRACTIONS TO SCORE

SO NOW THE GATE HAS BEEN LOADED
ALL 8 ARE STANDING QUITE WELL
AND AFTER 7 SHORT FURLONGS
WHOSE STORY IS IT WE'LL TELL?

AND AWAY THEY GO JUST LIKE TURTLES
THE FRACTIONS ARE SURE MIGHTY SLOW
DUSTY ~ RUFFIAN -&- BLUNNY
BUT LITTLE SPEED DO THEY SHOW

~~~~

CIGARSHOP IS MOVING UP SLOWLY
CATALINA -&- STARK ARE THERE TOO
EL PRADO -&- TIGER DANCER FAR BACK
MAYBE BOTH FILLYS HAVE THROWN A SHOE?

AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH THINGS HAVE CHANGED
AS ALONE ON THE LEAD WE SEE BLUNNY
DUSTY IS SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK
TRYING TO HOLD ON FOR SOME MONEY

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY ALL COME
WITH BLUNNY NOW LEADING THE WAY
DUSTY STILL TUCKED IN BEHIND HIM
BUT IS THIS HOW THE FINISH WILL STAY?

THE ANSWER TO THAT CAME ON QUICKLY
WITHOUT WARNING WE ALL HEAR A ROAR
AS RUFFIAN LETS OUT HER 'CHEETAH'
THE CROWD ON THEIR FEET WANTING MORE

IF 'MORE' IS WHAT THEY ARE WANTING ~
EL PRADO HAS ANSWERED THEIR CALL
WITH LIGHTING FAST HOOVES SHE HAS RUN
AS THE 2 FILLYS NOW LEADING THEM ALL

IT'S RUFFIAN NOW IN COMMAND
WITH NO SIGNS AT ALL GIVING IN
EL PRADO DETERMINED TO TRY
AND NOT LET THE FRONT FILLY WIN

BUT WISHES AND HOPES ARE JUST THAT
YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YA WANT
EL PRADO GIVING HER ALL
BUT COULD NOT PASS THE FILLY IN FRONT

WITH ONE FINAL SURGE OF HER POWER
DUSTY HAS PASSED ON BY BLUNNY
TO PICK UP THE SHOW SPOT REWARD
AND GET HERSELF THE 3rd PLACE MONEY

THERE'S SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT BLUNNY
HOW OFTEN HE STEALS THAT GOLD RING
IS HE MAYBE RELATED TO GOLLUM
OR SIMPLY ENJOYS WINNING SOME 'BLING' ?

SO HERE'S HOW THEY CAME TO THE WIRE
RUFFIAN ~ EL PRADO -&- DUSTY
A FILLY TRIFECTA OF GLORY...
AS THE COLTS KINDA RAN A BIT RUSTY

AND BACK IN THE CAT HOUSE WE FIND
TIGER DANCER ALONE IN THE DARK
JUST $5.40 IS ALL SHE HAD NEEDED
FOR THE DOGHOUSE TO WELCOME HOME STARK!

$$-OFFICIAL ORDER OF FINISH-$$

1st ~ RUFFIAN ========= $57.40

2nd ~ EL PRADO ======== $49.20

3rd ~ DUSTY =========== $41.00

4th ~ BLUNNY {DC} ======= $37.60

==== ALSO RAN ====

CATALINA ======= $31.60

CIGARSHOP ======$12.00

STARK ========== $8.40

TIGER DANCER ===== $3.00 (Maybe just enough for a burger -&- fries) --
~~ #8 ~~
