**RESULTS**


GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME TO
SUPURR SATURDAY AT TAMPA BAY DOWNS





TODAY THE ''NOT-SO-QUIET'' ONE WILL RUN
FOR A REPEAT VICTORY GALLOP WITH
9 CHALLENGERS READY -&- ABLE TO STOP HIM



9 ARE IN THE GATE STANDING CALMLY JUST WAITING FOR CRUZAN
TO SETTLE DOWN & GO IN ~ SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE BOTHERING
THIS COLT SO THE GATE CREW & VET ARE EXAMINING HIM TO BE SURE

ALL APPEARS TO BE OK AND WITH A FEW PEPPERMINTS ~
THE CANTANKEROUS COLT HAS DECIDED TO GO ON IN


AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO....



ONCE AGAIN, EXACTLY AS IN HER LAST START ~ DUSTY HAS
'DUSTED THE FIELD' HEADING INTO THE TURN WITH INCREDIBLE
FIERCE FRACTIONS ~ LEAVING THE REST RUNNING IN HER DUST!



AFTER SEEING THIS STYLE A LOT LATELY ~ SOME THINK SHE SHOULD
RUN IN SPRINTS MORE OFTEN THAN LONG DISTANCE CHALLENGES!


~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~


IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE REST OF THE FIELD TO CATCH UP
AS NOW IT'S PEEPTOAD IN COMMAND WITH 2 COLTS HOT ON HER TAIL




NEXT -- IT'S BLUNNY
WITH A HIGHLY-CHARGED-ENERGIZER-BATTERY ENERGY
AND CIGARSHOP RIGHT THERE WITH HIM, ABOUT TO OVERTAKE THE
FRISKY FAST FILLY IN FRONT

DEFENDING CHAMP, REAL QUIET IS NEXT ~ SURROUNDED BY 3 FILLYS
DUSTY ~ RUFFIAN ~ TIGER DANCER IN A LINE ACROSS THE TRACK
WITH REAL QUIET IN THE MIDDLE AND A SILLY GRIN ON HIS FACE! --



NOTHING QUITE LIKE A COLT WITH 3 FAB FILLYS TO DISTRACT HIM
FROM RUNNING HIS 'A' GAME! ~ IS THAT MAYBE THEIR SECRET PLAN?

IT'S A GOOD WAYS BACK TO THE TRAILING TURTLE-TRIO OF
CRUZAN ~ THUNDER CAT ~ POST TIME MIKE



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


REAL QUIET HAS MANAGED TO SHAKE OFF 2 OF THE 3 FILLYS
TRYING TO INTERFERE WITH HIS REPEAT WIN
BUT RUFFIAN IS STILL 'HANGIN-TUFF'
STAYIN RIGHT THERE WITH THE COLT IN CHARGE
LETTING HER ''INNER-CHEETAH'' NOW TAKE OVER!

IT'S JUST 2 LENGTHS BACK TO A TRIO ACROSS THE TRACK
BLUNNY ~ CIGARSHOP ~ PEEPTOAD SHOWING GOOD SPEED

ALL 3 STILL IN WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF OVERTAKING
THE DYNAMIC DUO OF RUFFIAN -&- REAL QUIET IN THE LEAD

IT'S ANOTHER 6 LENGTHS BACK TO DUSTY -&- TIGER DANCER
WHO ARE FOLLOWED BY THUNDER CAT

SLUGGISH -&- SLOW LIKE SLEEPY SNAILS WAY FAR BACK
ARE POST TIME MIKE + CRUZAN
THESE 2 SHOWING ABSOLUTELY NO SPEED AT ALL
PROBABLY BOTH COLTS WILL HAVE A FULL VET EXAM LATER



~~DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~


AND THE RACE IS ON! COLT -VS- FILLY
RUFFIAN & REAL QUIET LOCKED IN A MATCH RACE
REPEAT VICTORY ON THE LINE FOR THE COLT
BRAGGING RIGHTS ON THE LINE FOR THE FILLY



BLUNNY ~ CIGARSHOP & PEEPTOAD ALL OUT ARE NEXT ~
STILL RIGHT THERE WITH ONLY A TAIL LENGTH SEPARATING
THEM FROM THE DUO IN FRONT

THE REST NOW HAVE NO CHANCE AT THE MONEY


WITH THE WIRE JUST AHEAD, IT IS THE COURAGEOUS COLT WHO
WITH A DRAMATIC SUDDEN SURGE OF SPEED HAS PUT AWAY THE
FILLY TO TAKE COMMAND OF THE REPEAT VICTORY!

BREATHTAKING FINISH TO AN EXCITING 5-HORSE PHOTO FINISH!

NOW NEXT TIME, REAL QUIET RUNS FOR THE ELUSIVE 3-PEAT
(OR SHOULD WE SAY 3-PETE ~ HIS NICK-NAME IN THE BARN)
