GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME TO SUPURRR SATURDAY
IT IS PEGASUS DAY AT GULFSTREAM PARK

SO OUR FEATURE EVENT: THE 'WING + A PRAYER' STAKES



DEFENDING CHAMP ---> POST TIME MIKE
WILL HAVE 10 CHALLENGERS
TRYING TO PREVENT A REPEAT VICTORY

TEN ARE STANDING QUIETLY
WAITING FOR CIGARSHOP TO
SETTLE DOWN -&- STOP TRYING TO GO
INTO THE GATE NEXT TO TIGER DANCER

FINALLY WITH A CARROT -&- EXTRA HANDLERS, HE'S IN


AND AWAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 'WING + A PRAYER' STAKES....



CRUISING LIKE A JET PLANE -- IT IS CRUZAN
LEAVING THE REST IN HIS CONTRAIL PATH
HEADING INTO THE TURN!



IT'S A LONG WAY BACK TO RUFFIAN
FOLLOWED BY CATALINA AND THUNDER CAT

BLUNNY -&- POST TIME MIKE ARE NEXT
WITH PEEPTOAD -&- REAL QUIET
JUST ANOTHER LENGTH BACK

DUSTY -&- TIGER DANCER ARE VERY FAR BACK
BUT NOT AS FAR AS CIGARSHOP WHO 'STALLED' LEAVING THE GATE
THEN STUMBLED BADLY COMING OUT, ALMOST LOSING HIS JOCKEY!



~~ OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME ~~


THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY
AS CRUZAN FAILED TO HANDLE THE TURN WELL
VEERING OUT SUDDENLY ...
CARRYING CATALINA ALONG WITH HIM!

IT IS NOW A FILLY DUO IN COMMAND ~
RUFFIAN AND PEEPTOAD LEAD THE WAY
WITH THUNDER CAT JUST A LENGTH BEHIND
THAT FRISKY FILLY PAIR



A COLT TRIO IS NEXT, ABOUT 5 LENGTHS BACK
BLUNNY ~ CRUZAN ~ POST TIME MIKE SHOWING GOOD ENERGY

A FEW LENGTHS BEHIND THAT TRIO ARE
REAL QUIET AND CATALINA

VERY FAR BACK IS CIGARSHOP
WITH A FUNNY 'GRIN' ON HIS FACE
LOOKING LIKE A 'FILLY SANDWICH'
BETWEEN TIGER DANCER -&- DUSTY!
"A PHILLY SAMMICH" ... WANT FRIES WITH THAT --


~~ THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH ~~


ONCE AGAIN THINGS HAVE CHANGED AT THE FRONT
NOW IT IS THUNDER CAT JUST TOYING WITH THE FIELD



SUDDENLY A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD ...
AS ALL EYES HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM THE FILLY IN FRONT
TOWARDS THE BACK -- AS TIGER DANCER HAS 'RE-FUELED'
THAT 'TIGER-IN-HER-TANK'
AND IS FLYING LIKE PEGASUS UP THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK!



SHE HAS PASSED ONE AFTER ANOTHER ....
WITH ONLY THUNDER CAT AHEAD LEFT TO CONQUER

ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY
BLUNNY -&- CRUZAN HIT THEIR HIGH SPEED
AND NOW ARE JUST A LENGTH BEHIND
THE FRONT RUNNING FILLY DUO

PEEPTOAD ~ RUFFIAN AND A LATE RUNNING DUSTY ARE NEXT

DEFENDING CHAMP, POST-TIME-MIKE
IS SEEING HIS CHANCES FOR A REPEAT
QUICKLY VANISHING ~ UNABLE TO GAIN ANY GROUND

CATALINA AND REAL QUIET ARE NEXT
AS CIGARSHOP IS MEANDERING ALL OVER THE TRACK
POSSIBLY HAVING THROWN A SHOE LEAVING THE GATE?



~~ DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME ~~


THUNDER CAT AND TIGER DANCER
SHOWING A NEW VERSION OF
THE 'BIG CAT DIARIES'
WITH BLUNNY -&- CRUZAN ABOUT 4 LENGTHS OFF
OF THE TENACIOUS TWOSOME TAILS



THE FILLY TRIO OF PEEPTOAD ~ DUSTY ~ RUFFIAN
ARE STILL IN WITH A CHANCE AT SOME MONEY

SUDDENLY AS THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD ....
IT IS THUNDER CAT
LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT TO THE WIRE
LEAVING TIGER DANCER BEHIND

NO PHOTO NEEDED FOR THE WIN
BUT DEFINITELY NEEDED FOR
PLACE / SHOW / PRECIOUS MONEY
