GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM
FOR A DAY OF ALL GRASS ~ NO DIRT!

OUR FEATURE EVENT IS THE BOTS: BATTLE OF THE SEXES

CIGARSHOP WILL BE RUNNING FOR THE ELUSIVE 3-PEAT GLORY
(OR A FROSTED WHISKER)
7 OTHERS WILL BE RUNNING TO TRY & PREVENT THAT!

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE BOTS CHALLENGE

IT'S A TRIO OUT FOR A HUGE LEAD WITH CIGARSHOP SANDWICHED BETWEEN THUNDER CAT AND CATALINA HEADING INTO THE TURN
(IS THAT A SMILE WE SEE ON HIS FACE?)

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME AS THE CROWD IS SUDDENLY
GOING WILD --- SCREAMING LIKE A PACK OF BANSHEES!

THE TRIO IN THE LEAD SAW A ''BLURR'' GO BY THEM LIKE A
BOLT OF LIGHTNING WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE TIGER DANCER!

THE FIERCE FILLY ON FIRE HAS LEFT THE REST IN HER WAKE AS
SHE ROARED ON BY TAKING A HUGE LEAD OF AT LEAST 20+ LENGTHS

NOW THE OTHER HALF OF THE 'BIG CAT' DIARY FAME, RUFFIAN,
TURNED HER 'INNER CHEETAH' LOOSE ALONG WITH DUSTY
TO JOIN CIGARSHOP ALL CHASING THE FRISKY FILLY IN FRONT

IT'S A FEW LENGTHS BACK TO THUNDER CAT ~ BLUNNY & REAL QUIET
AS CATALINA FAILED TO HANDLE THE TURN WELL ~ DROPPING BACK

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH AS THE TIGER HAS DANCED
AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE FIELD WITH FIERCE FRACTIONS
SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

TIGER DANCER PUTTING ON AN EXHIBITION NOW WITH AWESOME
ACCELERATION & POWER LEAVING THE OTHERS TO RUN FOR 2ND

THE CLOSERS ARE FINALLY PICKING UP SOME SPEED
BLUNNY ~ REAL QUIET & DEFENDING CHAMP CIGARSHOP WHO
SEES HIS HOPE OF A 3-PEAT DISAPPEARING QUICKLY

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO A FILLY TRIO OF
THUNDER CAT ~ RUFFIAN & DUSTY
AS CATALINA HAS DROPPED FAR BACK HEADING FOR THE CAT HOUSE

THERE IS NO DOUBT OR PHOTO NEEDED TO KNOW WHO WILL
STAND IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE AND DINE IN THE PENTHOUSE
