Good afternoon and welcome to Midweek Mayhem at Saratoga

Our Feature Event Honoring INTERNATIONAL TIGER DAY
THE EYE 👁 OF THE TIGER STAKES

Defending Champion The Energizer Blunny
Will have 9 Contentious Capable Challengers
Trying to prevent a repeat Bunny Hop Victory

The Tenacious Ten are in the gate and ready to run

And Away they go in the Eye 👁 Of The Tiger

Like Twin Rockets Cruzan + Roamin
Leave the rest of the field in their Dust

Out of the Turn they come
Roamin Has now taken over the lead all alone
after Cruzan did not handle the turn well ~ losing momentum quickly

Ruffian suddenly let her Inner Cheetah Out To run
Passing Cruzan on her way to catching the Colt in front

It is A 6-Pack Across the track 15 lengths back
Cruzan 🏍
Dusty
Thunder Cat
Blunny
Raven
Digger

Trailing the field in another time zone
Real Quiet + Tiger Dancer

They’re At The Top of The Stretch

Roamin Is showing signs of getting leg weary
Dusty has suddenly found her best stride moving up quickly

Then there’s a gap back to Digger, Blunny, Ruffian, Raven, Thunder Cat,
With Tiger Dancer and Real Quiet Even farther back

And Down The Stretch They Come
Roamin Losing ground quickly as the closers are starting to find their best stride

Suddenly a huge roar erupts from the crowd
as all eyes turn away from the Colt on the lead

What could be causing the excitement….. ?
It is CRUZAN Firing on all cylinders passing one after another easily
Taking complete control and command of the race

Inspired by his speed Dusty found enough to fly past Roamin into 2nd
It’s a 6-way battle behind these three in front for a piece of the Pie

Digger ……… Blunny With little chance of a repeat victory now,
Ruffian, Raven, Thunder Cat, Tiger Dancer + Real Quiet

All alone at the Wire scoring a runaway victory is Cruzan

15 Lengths Back is Dusty Just holding off Roamin for 2nd
