MISSING HIS FLIGHT TO THE TRACK ~
DEFENDING CHAMP, DUSTY WILL HAVE 8 CHALLENGERS TRYING
TO PREVENT A REPEAT WINNING 'PURRRFORMANCE'

COLTS & FILLYS ARE IN THE GATE AND WE ARE READY TO RUN

AWAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE ''WOOF OR PURRR'' STAKES

IT'S REAL QUIET OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD WITH A DUO OF
FAB FILLYS RIGHT ON THIS TAIL HEADING INTO THE TURN
THUNDER CAT & DUSTY NOT LETTING THE QUICK COLT GET AWAY

===== OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME ===

IT IS NOW THUNDER CAT IN COMMAND JUST A LENGTH IN FRONT
OF REAL QUIET AND RUFFIAN WHO LET HER 'INNER-CHEETAH'
COME OUT EARLY ON SPEEDING RIGHT BY DUSTY ~

IT'S 7 LENGTHS BACK TO DUSTY + TIGER DANCER FOLLOWED
BY RAVEN ~ CIGARSHOP & CRUZAN AS CATALINA TRAILS THE FIELD

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

THUNDER CAT CONTINUES TO TURN UP THE HEAT
NOW INCREASING HER LEAD OVER THE REST BY 15 LENGTHS
AS SHE HAS 3 CALCULATING COLTS IN HOT PURSUIT
BUT WHO ARE NOT GAINING GROUND ON THE FIERCE FILLY IN FRONT

REAL QUIET, CIGARSHOP & RAVEN UNDER A DRIVE TO CATCH HER

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO DEFENDING CHAMP, DUSTY WHO
WILL HAVE TO DIG DEEP TO FIND HER MOJO FOR ANY CHANCE
OF A REPEAT VICTORY TODAY

ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK IS A TIRING TRIO OF
RUFFIAN ~ CRUZAN AND TIGER DANCER FOLLOWED BY CATALINA

===== AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME =====

THUNDER CAT IN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE RACE IS SHOWING
NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN AT ALL AND HAS STEADILY BEEN
INCREASING HER LEAD STRIDE BY STRIDE OVER THE FIELD ~

REAL QUIET IS THE ONLY ONE WHO MAY BE ABLE TO ROUSE
A CHALLENGE BUT HE WILL HAVE TO SPROUT WINGS TO DO IT

CIGARSHOP & RAVEN LOCKED IN A BATTLE FOR THE SHOW SPOT
AS DEFENDING CHAMP, DUSTY HAS TOSSED IN THE DUST-RAG
LOSING ANY HOPE OR CHANCE OF A REPEAT WINNING EFFORT

THERE WILL BE NO PHOTO NEEDED TODAY FOR THE WINNER
HAS ROARED HOME BY 20 LENGTHS OVER A TRIO OF COLTS
