GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM AT DELTA DOWNS
DUE TO TIGER DANCER WORKING ON THE MEOW-MIX AWARDS ~
THE RUFFZILLA WILL STEP IN TO PRESENT THE MM RESULTS
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
TODAY, RUFFIAN WILL FACE 8 CHALLENGERS WHO WILL TRY TO
PREVENT HER 'INNER CHEETAH' FROM SPEEDING TO THE WIRE 1ST
8 ARE IN THE GATE WAITING FOR A VERY RAUCOUS RUFFIAN TO
SETTLE DOWN AND GO IN ~ SOMETHING HAS THIS FILLY ON EDGE
COULD BE THE SNAKE SHE NOTICED WHILE WALKING IN THE POST PARADE ON HER WAY TO THE GATE?
FINALLY AFTER SOME CONVINCING AND PEPPERMINTS, THE
FRACTIOUS FILLY HAS GIVEN IN AND WE ARE READY TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO
OUT FOR THE SHORT EARLY LEAD ARE BLUNNY & REAL QUIET
WITH CRUZAN RIGHT AT THEIR TAILS
THESE 3 COLTS LEAD THE WAY INTO THE TURN
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME AS NOW IT IS BLUNNY ON THE LEAD
ALONE AS REAL QUIET FAILED TO HANDLE THE TURN VERY WELL
AND IS DROPPING BACK QUICKLY
TIGER DANCER IS NEXT FOLLOWED BY CRUZAN & CATALINA
IT'S A FEW LENGTHS BACK TO THUNDER CAT & RUFFIAN
AND EVEN FARTHER BACK, ARE CIGARSHOP & DUSTY
========== AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH ===========
BLUNNY THE 'ENERGIZER BUNNY' HAS HOPPED HIS WAY INTO
A BIG LEAD WITH A FAST MOVING DUSTY & CRUZAN DIMINISHING
HIS LEAD WITH EVERY STRIDE
CIGARSHOP SUDDENLY FOUND HIS BEST ENERGY AND IS
NOW MOVING UP RIGHT BEHIND CRUZAN AND DUSTY
THUNDER CAT ALSO IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SOME SPEED
AS TIGER DANCER IS STARTING TO LOOK LEG WEARY
CATALINA & REAL QUIET ARE NEXT
DEFENDING CHAMP, RUFFIAN TRAILS THE FIELD NOW APPARENTLY
REALIZING SHE HAS NO CHANCE OF A REPEAT VICTORY,
IS MEANDERING ALL OVER THE TRACK
============ AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME ===========
BLUNNY CONTINUES TO SHOW THE WAY
DUSTY & CRUZAN NECK & NECK IN A BATTLE FOR 2ND
CIGARSHOP & THUNDER CAT IN A BATTLE OF THEIR OWN
HOPING TO STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS'
AS THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD,
THE SPEEDY 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY'
CHARGES HIS INNER BATTERIES
LEAVING THE REST FOR 2ND PLACE MONEY ~
SO IT'S A HIPPITY-HOP GATE TO WIRE VICTORY FOR BLUNNY
DUSTY JUST EDGES OUT CRUZAN BY A KITTY WHISKER FOR 2ND
CIGARSHOP MANAGES TO SQUEAK OUT ENOUGH SPEED
TO STEAL THE PRECIOUS AWAY FROM THUNDER CAT
============= OFFICIAL ORDER OF FINISH =============
BLUNNY = $68.70
DUSTY = $54.80
CRUZAN = $54.60
CIGARSHOP = $43.40
========== ALSO RAN ===========
THUNDER CAT = $41.30
TIGER DANCER = $37.50
CATALINA = $36.90
REAL QUIET = $33.90
(DC) RUFFIAN = $23.20
