FEATURE EVENT
THE 'CHEETAH OR SNAIL' STAKES

THE DETERMINED DOZEN ARE IN THE GATE READY TO RUN

AND THEY'RE OFF IN THE 'CHEETAH OR SNAIL' STAKES

LIKE TWIN METEORS, CRUZAN & EL PRADO ZOOM TO THE LEAD
PEEPTOAD & ROAMIN ARE CATCHING UP QUICKLY AS THESE 4
LEAD THE FIELD INTO THE TURN

*** OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME ***

CRUZAN ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD AFTER EL PRADO STUMBLED
COMING OUT OF THE TURN, LOSING HER MOMENTUM

IT'S 13 LENGTHS BACK TO CIGARSHOP AND ANOTHER FEW TO
DUSTY ~ ROAMIN ~ RUFFIAN, FOLLOWED BY EL PRADO

ANOTHER LENGTH BACK TO RAVEN ~ PEEPTOAD + TIGER DANCER

THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' IS NEXT
JUST A HALF LENGTH AHEAD OF THUNDER CAT

AND THE EARLY TRAILER IS POST TIME MIKE

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

CRUZAN SUDDENLY JUMPED SOMETHING ON THE TRACK
LOSING MOMENTUM AND BACKING UP BADLY

THUNDER CAT IS STARTING TO RUMBLE
EL PRADO REGAINING HER ENERGY IS ALSO MOVING UP QUICKLY

ROAMIN ~ CIGARSHOP ~ BLUNNY & PEEPTOAD ARE SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY POST TIME MIKE ~ TIGER DANCER + DUSTY AS THE DEFENDING CHAMP, RUFFIAN, APPARENTLY NEVER
AWAKENED HER 'INNER CHEETAH' AND IS MOVING MORE SNAIL LIKE

*** AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME ***

SUDDENLY THE RACE HAS TURNED INTO A 'STAMPEDE'
THE CLOSERS ARE COMING QUICKLY AND STRONG
THUNDER CAT ~ RAVEN ~ EL PRADO ~ CRUZAN ~ ROAMIN

JUST A LENGTH BACK TO CIGARSHOP ~ BLUNNY ~ PEEPTOAD
WITH POST TIME MIKE & TIGER DANCER NEXT

DUSTY IS FAR BACK
FOLLOWED BY A SNAIL SPEED RUFFIAN JUST MEANDERING ALONG
WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OF HER 'INNER CHEETAH'
OR PERHAPS A MEMORY LOSS THAT SHE WAS RUNNING FOR 3-PEAT!
