GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO SUPURR SATURDAY
TODAY WE ARE AT PIMLICO RACE TRACK ON PREAKNESS DAY
CRABCAKES + CATNIP BUFFET
OUR FEATURE EVENT CELEBRATING DUSTY & RAVEN
*** THE "DUSTY RAVEN" STAKES
{{ NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A BRITISH PUB!}}
DEFENDING CHAMP, RAVEN, WILL HAVE 11 CONTRARY CAPABLE
CHALLENGERS TRYING TO PREVENT THE FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN!
AND AWAY THEY GO IN THE ''DUSTY RAVEN'' STAKES
IT'S BLUNNY & TIGER DANCER OUT FOR A SHORT EARLY LEAD
QUICKLY JOINED BY ROAMIN ~ THUNDER CAT & PEEPTOAD
THESE 5 LEAD THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY NOW
IT IS PEEPTOAD LEAPING WITH A MIGHTY LEAD TO THE FRONT
SHE IS AT LEAST 18 LENGTHS AHEAD OF THE REST!
RUFFIAN IS NEXT
BLUNNY ~ ROAMIN ~ THUNDER CAT + TIGER DANCER
ARE ANOTHER 7 LENGTHS BACK FOLLOWED BY
RAVEN ~ POST TIME MIKE + CIGARSHOP
TRAILING THE FIELD IN THE EARLY GOING
DUSTY ~ CRUZAN & EL PRADO
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
IT'S STILL PEEPTOAD WHO CONTINUES LEAPING HER WAY
TO A HUMONGOUS LEAD AS THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE
STARTING TO SHOW SOME ENERGY PICKING UP THE PACE
BUT IF ANYONE IS GONNA CATCH THE RUNAWAY FILLY IN FRONT
WE MAY NEED TO SEE PEGASUS WINGS SPROUTING SOON!
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
PEEPTOAD STILL LEAPING ALONG IN FRONT BUT FINALLY
NOW STARTING TO SHOW SOME WEARINESS AS HER LEAD
IS DIMINISHING WITH EVERY STRIDE ~ BUT STILL FAR AHEAD
SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS UP ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING
LIKE A BUNCH OF BANSHEES IN THE WILD!
SOMEONE HAS INDEED SPROUTED 'PEGASUS WINGS'
IT IS THE MIGHTY ROAR OF 'THE CHEETAH'
WHO NOW IS MOVING LIKE A JUNGLE CAT WITH PREY IN SIGHT ~
'THE PREY' BEING IN THE FORM OF A 'PEEPTOAD'
THE CROWD IS GOING WILD AS THE FRISKY FILLY IS GAINING
GROUND ON THE LEAPING PEEPTOAD IN FRONT, WITH EVERY STRIDE
ALL EYES ARE ON RUFFIAN ~
CAN THE FIERCE FILLY BE ABLE TO CLOSE SUCH A HUGE GAP OR WILL THE WIRE COME TOO SOON FOR A CAPRICIOUS CHEETAH TO WIN?
THE ANSWER CAME QUICKLY & CONVINCINGLY AS RUFFIAN
FLIES BY PEEPTOAD WITH SUPURR-SONIC-SPEED,
LEAVING THE LEADER WITH A SHOCKED EXPRESSION
SEEING HER HUGE LEAD DISAPPEAR IN A HEARTBEAT!
IT WILL BE A PHOTO TO DETERMINE THE 'BODACIOUS BOUQUET'
BETWEEN POST TIME MIKE & THUNDER CAT
AS THE LOSER OF THE PHOTO WILL STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS'
THE 'DUSTY-RAVEN' STAKES ENDS WITH A MIGHTY ROAR OF AWE!
THERE WAS NO DOUBT FROM THE START ~ THRU THE MIDDLE ~
INTO THE HOME STRETCH =
THAT A PEEPTOAD WOULD LEAP INTO THE WINNER CIRCLE
BUT AS WE ALL KNOW FOR SO LONG ~
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A ''SURE THING'' IN RACES!
IT AIN'T OVER TILL THAT STOUT LADY SINGS
AND TODAY THE SONG SHE SANG LOUDLY WAS
''WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!''
'THE CHEETAH' SHOWED WHY 'SUDDEN-SUPURR SPEED'
IS HER ''TRADEMARK''
$$$ OFFICIAL ORDER OF FINISH $$$
