IT'S A LONG WAY BACK TO THE REST
SUDDENLY A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD HAS EVERYONE
UP ON THEIR FEET AS A BLURR IS MOVING UP THE RAIL FROM THE CLOUDS PASSING ALL IN THE WAY AT RECORD BREAKING FRACTIONS
WHO CAN IT BE? TIGER DANCER? RUFFIAN ? NOT DUSTY?
NO NO AND NO IS THE ANSWER!

ONE OF THE MOST BREATHTAKING DISPLAYS OF DETERMINATION
AND PROFOUND POWER WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR THIS YEAR!
JUST THINK BACK TO ZENYATTA'S RACES WHEN THERE WAS NO WAY
SHE WOULD EVER COME FROM THAT FAR BACK TO WIN ~ YET SHE DID
THAT IS WHAT CRUZAN HAS JUST DONE ~ THE 'IMPOSSIBLE'
A STUNNED BLUNNY HAS A SHOCKED LOOK ON HIS FACE
WHEN VICTORY ALMOST SEEMED A 'SURE THING'
