HAVE FLOWN BY THE FIELD AS IF THEY WERE ALL OUT
FOR A MORNING WORKOUT JOG!

THE FEARSOMELY FAST FILLYS IN THE FRONT

BLUNNY IS NEXT -- BUT IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO
DUSTY ~ CATALINA ~ CIGARSHOP

TRAILING THE FIELD IS A FLUSTERED, FRUSTRATED, FRAZZLED FILLY
~RUFFIAN~ WANDERING ALL OVER THE TRACK
TRYING TO AVOID THE RAINDROPS
AS IF THEY WERE TINY ATTACK MODULES!
YOU MIGHT THINK SHE WAS AN ARABIAN, WITH THIS BEHAVIOUR!

SUDDENLY, TIGER DANCER DECIDES THAT ENUFF IS ENUFF!

SHAKING LOOSE FROM EL PRADO ... THE TIGER 2-STEP-DANCE
HAS TURNED INTO A TIGER RUNAWAY RUMBA
AS THE FORMIDABLE FLAMBOYANT FILLY
NOW MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE RACE
PUTTING A PRETTY TIGER WHISKER ON THE WIRE!
