CONGRATULATIONS TO DUSTY
WHOSE MEMORABLE CLOSING RUN WILL QUALIFY
FOR YEAR END CONTENDER AS “RACE OF THE YEAR “

For Those who missed those final moments here is the replay

Suddenly a huge Rooar has exploded from the crowd
Eyes are turning away from Ruffian To the back of the pack

Like a supersonic Jet or an impersonation of Zenyatta
Dusty Is firing on all cylinders passing one after another
But will it be too little too late :-\

The Answer comes in a Dazzling display Of acceleration and determination
Shocking the fans and even more so Ruffian’s Jockey

There was simply no way this Filly What is going to lose the race
And yet incredibly she has at the very last moment :banghead:

Today’s race will probably be in contention for
Meow Mix award Race Of The Year

THE FEATURE EVENT = SUMMERTIME SPALICIOUS STAKES

The Energized Eleven Are In The Gate Ready To Run

And Away they go in the Summertime Spalicious Stakes

Out of the gate like 2 Resounding Rockets Tiger Dancer + Roamin 🏎

This dynamic duo has left the field far behind in the early going

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

Thanks have changed dramatically as the Duo in the lead is now
Real Quiet + Tiger Dancer

Roamin Almost clipping heels with Thunder Cat losing his momentum
Thunder Cat coming out much the best of that inner-action now running 3rd

There is a huge gap back to the rest of the field as those 7
Have not yet Found their best Stride or their speed

THEY’RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

It is now Real Quiet alone on the lead
As Tiger Dancer is getting leg weary And dropping back

Thunder Cat and Roamin 🏎 Neck and neck are next

The Raven taking flight is moving up quickly
The Colt is right At the twin tails Just ahead of him

Tiger Dancer is next followed by A Not So “Energized Blunny

It’s a long way back to the rest of the field
who still have not shown any incentive to run

Digger (DC) Dusty 🌬 Ruffian Post Time Mike Cruzan 🏍

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

Real Quiet is the one to catch and so far nobody is doing that

Roamin + Thunder Cat neck and neck are next
Raven is only a half length behind them
Tiger Dancer still with a chance of some money

At the wire it is all Real Quiet by daylight

Objection lights are flashing causing the stewards to examine the replay
It’s a tight photo finish for second place
It might even be a dead heat between Roamin + Thunder Cat

The tote board has stopped flashing and the official results are now up

Real Quiet easily victorious
By The slimmest of Kitty Whiskers…..
Roamin emerges as the BridesMan of the day
Thunder Cat Catches The Bodacious Bouquet
Raven Steals The Precious
