THE NIMBLE NINE ARE IN THE GATE ~ TURTLES OR HARES?

AND AWAY THEY GO IN THE ''TURTLE VS: HARE" STAKES

3 SPEEDY 'HARES' AWAY QUICKLY TAKING A BIG LEAD
THO NONE OF THE TRIO IS THE 'ENERGIZER BLUNNY'

DUSTY ~ THUNDER CAT & POST TIME MIKE
TAKE THE FIELD INTO THE TURN

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY IN THE 'WINX' OF AN EYE

THE 'THUNDERING CAT' HAS ROARED HER WAY TO A HUGE LEAD

CRUZAN WITH A SUDDEN EXPLOSIVE SURGE OF SPEED IS NEXT

FOLLOWED RIGHT AT HIS TAIL BY DUSTY WITH POWER OF HER OWN
BUT THIS DUO IS 13 LENGTHS BEHIND THE FRISKY FILLY IN FRONT

IT'S 10 LENGTHS BACK TO ANOTHER TRIO SHOWING SOME ENERGY
ROAMIN ~ RUFFIAN & TIGER DANCER

THE FINAL TRIO OF TARDY 'TURTLES' SO FAR
BLUNNY ~ REAL QUIET ~ POST TIME MIKE

BUT REMEMBER ~ WHEN THE HARE & TURTLE MET WHAT HAPPENED?
SO THAT SCENARIO MAY BE TRUE IN A HORSE RACE
AFTER ALL ~ THIS IS THE 'TURTLE VS: HARE' STAKES

AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

THUNDER CAT IS STARTING TO LOOK LEG WEARY AS NOW
THE CLOSERS ARE STARTING TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON HER

DUSTY ~ BLUNNY & REAL QUIET ARE ON THE MOVE GAINING QUICKLY

CRUZAN'S EARLIER ENERGY IS WANING AS THE COLT IS BACKING UP

RUFFIAN'S CHEETAH ROARING BEFORE IS JUST PURRRING NOW

DOING THEIR TURTLE TANGO AT THE BACK
ROAMIN ~ TIGER DANCER ~ POST TIME MIKE

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

THUNDER CAT IS LOSING GROUND WITH EVERY STRIDE

THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY IS NEXT ~
HOPPING ALONG ON A HIGHLY CHARGED BATTERY
PASSING DUSTY CLOSING IN ON THE LEADER WITH EVERY HOOFBEAT

REAL QUIET IS ANYTHING BUT QUIET AS THE CAPRICIOUS CALCULATING COLT IS MOVING LIKE A JET PLANE UP THE RAIL PASSING DUSTY
AS IF THE FILLY WERE OUT FOR A MORNING JOG!

BLUNNY WITH A QUICK LOOK OVER HIS SHOULDER HEARS THE
THUNDERING HOOFS BEHIND HIM ~ CONTEMPLATING THE IRONY
OF THE 'THUNDER' IS BEING DONE BY 'REAL QUIET'

WITH ONE FINAL SPECTACULAR SURGE OF SPEED ~
THE SLOW MOVING 'TURTLE TEMPO' REAL QUIET HAS INDEED
DONE WHAT THE STORYBOOK TURTLE DID TO THE HARE!
