AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO....
LIKE A JUNGLE CAT AFTER PREY, RUFFIAN HAS TURNED HER
'INNER CHEETAH' LOOSE RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE
TAKING A HUGE LEAD OVER THE FIELD
A FRISKY FOURSOME IS CLOSING QUICKLY
AS CIGARSHOP, EL PRADO, THUNDER CAT -&- PEEPTOAD
ARE NOW ONLY A LENGTH BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING FILLY
STARK, TIGER DANCER -&- BLUNNY MAKE UP THE NEXT TIER
ABOUT 4 LENGTHS BACK -- AS THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE
TAKING THEIR TIME OR POSSIBLY HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE MUD
TRAILING IN THE EARLY GOING:
REAL QUIET ~ DUSTY ~ CATALINA -&- POST TIME MIKE
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
IT'S TIGHTLY BUNCHED AT THE FRONT
WITH CIGARSHOP -&- THUNDER CAT
JUST A HALF-LENGTH IN FRONT OF
PEEPTOAD -&- EL PRADO
RUFFIAN DID NOT HANDLE THE TURN AT ALL
SLIPPING AND SLIDING IN THE SLOP
AND NOW LOSING GROUND QUICKLY
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
CIGARSHOP ~ THUNDER CAT -&- PEEPTOAD
IN A LINE ACROSS THE TRACK
AS EL PRADO -- WHO ALSO DID NOT HANDLE THE
SLOPPY SURFACE -- HAS LOST HER MOMENTUM
AND IS DROPPING BACK
REAL QUIET ~ TIGER DANCER AND RUFFIAN ARE NEXT
ABOUT 5 LENGTHS BACK JUST IN FRONT OF POST TIME MIKE
TRAILING THE FIELD ARE STARK ~ DUSTY ~ BLUNNY -&- CATALINA
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
CIGARSHOP -&- THUNDER CAT
HAVE NOW TURNED THIS INTO A MATCH RACE
--- STRIDE FOR STRIDE --- NECK & NECK
PEEPTOAD HAS LOST GROUND AND IS BACK RUNNING IN 3rd
... SUDDENLY A HUGE ROAR HAS ERUPTED FROM THE CROWD
A BLUR OF SPEED IS FLYING UP THE RAIL BUT HARD TO SEE
WHO IT IS --- AS THE SKIES HAVE OPENED UP AGAIN
AND THE RAIN IS MAKING VISIBILITY DIFFICULT
AH YES ~ NOW I CAN SEE WHO IS CAUSING THE UPROAR
IT'S DUSTY -- FLYING FROM THE CLOUDS PASSING EVERYONE
AND APPARENTLY LOVING THE RAIN SOAKED TRACK!
THE MUD AND RAIN HAVE DONE NOTHING TO SLOW THIS
FIERCE FILLY FROM TAKING COMMAND AS SHE FLIES RIGHT
PAST CIGARSHOP AND THUNDER CAT HEADING TO THE WIRE
JUST WHEN YA THINK YOU KNOW WHO WILL WIN ~
OR AT LEAST ONE OF THE 2 FRONT RUNNERS ~
ALONG COMES THE SHOCKER OF A CLOSING RUN
STIRRING MEMORIES OF THE GREAT 'ZENYATTA'
AND AWAY SHE GOES LEAVING THE REST IN HER WAKE
WINNING BY DAYLIGHT ~ COVERED IN MUD BUT HAPPY
CIGARSHOP WITH A LAST SUDDEN SURGE OF SPEED
TAKES 2nd -- AS THUNDER CAT HOLDS ON FOR THE SHOW
PEEPTOAD EARNS THE PRECIOUS IN 4th
"WOW" -- THE ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE WHAT WE JUST SAW!!
WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN ~ SLOPPY TRACK ~
WINNING IMPOSSIBLE ~ FROM THAT FAR BACK
THE IMPOSSIBLE BECAME REALITY
