GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO SUPURR SATURDAY
AT GULFSTREAM PARK
CELEBRATING GROUND HOG DAY + PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL SOWERBY
OUR FEATURE EVENT WILL BE
''THE SHADOW KNOWS''
BUT ~ WITH SO MUCH RAIN ~
WILL THERE EVEN BE ENOUGH SUNSHINE SUNDAY
TO EVEN CREATE A SHADOW FOR PHIL?
DEFENDING CHAMP, CRUZAN, WILL HAVE 10 CAPABLE CHALLENGERS
TRYING TO PREVENT ANOTHER 'CRUISIN' VICTORY AT THE WIRE
AND AWAY THEY GO IN 'THE SHADOW KNOWS' STAKES
TAKING AN EARLY LEAD IS A QUIK STEPIN TRIO
REAL QUIET ~ THUNDER CAT ~ BLUNNY
BUT CATCHING UP TO THOSE 3 IS TIGER DANCER WITH A
HUGE SUDDEN BURST OF POWER, PASSING ALL 3 & NOW IN FRONT
DUSTY ~ BRI & CATALINA ARE NEXT SHOWING EARLY SPEED
IT'S FAR BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD, WHO HAVE NOT YET
FOUND THEIR BEST STRIDE, HEADING INTO THE TURN
ROAMIN ~ RUFFIAN ~ POST TIME MIKE ~ CRUZAN
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
THE "ENERGIZER-BLUNNY" APPARENTLY RUNNING ON A FULLY CHARGED
BATTERY PACK TODAY IS NOW LEADING THE WAY
IT'S ABOUT 13 LENGTHS BACK TO
REAL QUIET, TIGER DANCER AND POST TIME MIKE
ANOTHER BIG GAP BACK TO
ROAMIN ~ DUSTY ~ THUNDER CAT ~ BRI & CATALINA
TIGER DANCER FAILING TO HANDLE THE TURN WELL, JUMPING
A SHADOW ON THE TRACK, IS DROPPING BACK QUICKLY NOW
THE EARLY TRAILERS RUFFIAN & DC~CRUZAN ARE IN NO HURRY YET
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
THE ENERGIZER BLUNNY CONTINUES TO LEAD THE WAY
BUT REAL QUIET IS STARTING TO TURN UP THE HEAT WITH A
HUGE BURST OF SPEED PASSING A BEWILDERED BLUNNY
WONDERING WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO HIS HUGE LEAD?
DUSTY FINDING HER BEST STRIDE ALSO MOVING UP QUICKLY
AND NOW ONLY A FEW LENGTHS BEHIND THE 2 COLTS IN FRONT
ROAMIN HAS 'AWAKENED' GETTING INTO HIGH GEAR, MOVING UP
RIGHT AT HIS TAIL ARE DEFENDING CHAMP, CRUZAN STILL IN WITH
A CHANCE OF SOME PURSE MONEY, IF NOT A REPEAT VICTORY
AND POST TIME MIKE STARTING TO SHOW SOME SPEED
A FILLY QUINTET IS NEXT WHO WILL NEED TO PICK UP THE PACE
TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF A TRIP TO THE BANK TODAY
TIGER DANCER, THUNDER CAT, CATALINA, BRI & RUFFIAN
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
REAL QUIET BEING ANYTHING BUT 'QUIET' IS PUTTING ON AN IMPRESSIVE
DISPLAY OF POWER & AUTHORITY IN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE LEAD
AS THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP
NOW SEEMINGLY RUNNING ON A HALF-CHARGED-BATTERY!
IT'S ANOTHER 10 LENGTHS BACK TO DUSTY & ROAMIN
EVEN FARTHER BACK ARE CRUZAN SEEING HIS REPEAT CHANCES
QUICKLY DISAPPEARING IN THE DISTANCE
POST TIME MIKE IS NEXT BUT NOT GAINING ANY GROUND
TIGER DANCER, THUNDER CAT, CATALINA & BRI ARE NEXT
RUFFIAN APPARENTLY FAILED TO AWAKEN HER "INNER-CHEETAH"
MEANDERING ALONG TRYING TO AVOID THE PUDDLES ON THE TRACK
SHOWING AN OBVIOUS DISLIKE OF RAIN AND BEING WET!
WITH YET ANOTHER DISPLAY OF SUPERIORITY REAL QUIET
EASILY CROSSES THE FINISH LINE AT LEAST 13 LENGTHS IN FRONT
THE NOT-AS-ENERGIZED BLUNNY STILL HAS ENOUGH LEFT
TO HOP INTO 2ND FOR THE 'BRIDESMAN' ROLE OF THE DAY
DUSTY IS A CLEAR CUT 3RD
CATCHING THE BODACIOUS BOUQUET
ROAMIN JUST 'OUT-CRUISES' CRUZAN TO STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS'
