GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME
TO SUPURRR-SATURDAY AT DEL MAR

OUR FEATURE EVENT: SURF & TURF STAKES
*FOR OUR VEGETARIAN FANS: THE 'CATNIP SALAD' STAKES

WE HAVE 10 TALENTED CHALLENGERS -- WHO
WILL BE TRYING TO HOLD BACK CIGARSHOP
FROM REACHING THE WIRE 1st

THE HORSES ARE ALL LOADED AND READY TO RUN

AND THEY'RE OFF .... IN THE "SURF -&- TURF" STAKES....




OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD ARE: CATALINA -&- STARK
FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY CIGARSHOP -&- DUSTY

THIS SPEEDY FOURSOME WILL LEAD THE FIELD INTO THE TURN


OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME


CATALINA NOW HAS BEEN JOINED BY
CIGARSHOP -&- REAL QUIET

AFTER STARK FALTERED ON THE TURN
ALMOST RUNNING INTO THE INFIELD FENCE!
HE SEEMED TO HAVE MORE FOCUS ON CATALINA'S TAIL
THAN RUNNING STRAIGHT AHEAD!
SOME COLTS ARE SO EASILY DISTRACTED! --

THESE 3 HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES
FROM THE REST -- BY AT LEAST 13 LENGTHS
AS THE OTHER 8 HAVE YET TO START THEIR BEST RUNNING

THE 2nd TIER IS MADE UP OF
THUNDER CAT ~ POST-TIME-MIKE

IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO
DUSTY ~ BLUNNY -&- STARK

AND TRAILING THE FIELD LIKE A TRIO OF TURTLES
ARE: TIGER DANCER ~ PEEPTOAD -&- RUFFIAN




THE 3 FILLYS APPEAR TO BE MORE ENGAGED
WATCHING THE SEAGULLS IN THE INFIELD ~
DISCUSSING WHAT FUN IT MIGHT BE TO CHASE THEM INSTEAD OF JUST RUNNING AROUND IN A CIRCLE




THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


CATALINA TURNING UP THE HEAT IS NOW ALONE ON THE LEAD
LEAVING CIGARSHOP -&- REAL QUIET IN HER DUST




~ AND SPEAKING OF 'DUST' ~
DUSTY FINALLY FOUND HER BEST RUNNING STRIDE MOVING UP
QUICKLY ALONG WITH PEEPTOAD FROM FAR BACK AS THESE
TWO FRISKY FILLYS ARE CLOSING IN ON THE SPEEDY CATALINA

REAL QUIET IS NEXT STILL SHOWING GOOD SPEED
ALONG WITH CIGARSHOP -&- POST TIME MIKE

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO A QUINTET OF SNAILS
RUFFIAN ~ STARK ~ BLUNNY ~ THUNDER CAT -&- TIGER DANCER




AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


WITH A DRAMATIC SURGE OF POWER,
PEEPTOAD HAS LEAPED RIGHT INTO THE LEAD
JOINING CATALINA -- AS THESE 2 FIERY FILLYS
TOGETHER HEAD FOR THE WIRE -- LOOMING UP JUST AHEAD




IT'S ONLY A FEW LENGTHS BEHIND THAT DYNAMIC DUO
TO REAL QUIET -- WHO HAS CAUGHT UP TO DUSTY
AS THESE TWO ARE NOW ENGAGED IN A BATTLE
OF THEIR OWN FOR THE SHOW -&- PRECIOUS

DEFENDING CHAMP CIGARSHOP -- NOT FINDING ENOUGH TO KEEP UP
AS HE SEES HIS REPEAT GLORY FADING LIKE YESTERDAY'S NEWS

THE CROWD IS GOING WILD
AS THE 2 FAST FILLYS AT THE FRONT
~ ARE NECK -&- NECK ~ STRIDE FOR STRIDE ~

CATALINA FROM THE GATE ~ PEEPTOAD FROM THE CLOUDS

~ HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS FOLKS ~
THIS IS GONNA BE A FIERCE FILLY PHOTO FINISH



THE STEWARDS ARE REVIEWING THE REPLAY OVER -&- OVER
COULD WE POSSIBLY SEE A FILLY DEAD HEAT AT THE WIRE?

THE ANSWER TO THAT FINALLY WAS REVEALED AFTER THE
TOTE BOARD LIGHTS STOPPED FLASHING IN ALL FOUR PLACINGS

CATALINA EMERGES AS -- THE GATE TO WIRE WINNER

PEEPTOAD WITH AN INCREDIBLE DISPLAY OF POWER
IS 2nd -- LOSING THE WIN BY A SLIM KITTY WHISKER!

REAL QUIET WITH A SLIGHTLY LONGER NOSE
JUST EDGES OUT DUSTY FOR THE SHOW SPOT ~
BUT SHE DOES STEAL THE PRECIOUS
TO SOOTHE THE LESSER PURSE $$
