Memorial
It is Post Time Mike Away like a rocket separating himself from the field
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
Post Time Mike has now been joined by Real Quiet + Catalina
This tenacious trio Leads the way with Blunny just a Length back
Just another length back is Ruffian Followed closely by Digger
Itβs a long way back to Dusty ~ Cruzan + Tiger
Dancer
THEYβRE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
Real Quiet Spooked at something on the track losing all his earlier momentum
And now has dropped far back
Catalina continues to lead the way followed by Post Time Mike
The Energizer Blunny Hopping quickly into contention is next
Cruzan is right there along with Digger
Ruffian Is struggling trying to awaken her Inner Cheetah
Real Quiet has regained his composure moving up quickly
Dusty is another few lines back followed by Tiger Dancer
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
Catalina far ahead of the rest Showing no sign of slowing down
It is five across the track far behind the Fiercely Fast Filly in front
Blunny β¦ Post Time Mike β¦ Cruzan β¦ Digger β¦ Real Quiet
Another several length spec is Dusty followed by Ruffian
As Tiger Dancer continues to meander along showing no interest in running
Suddenly The crowd is on their feet looking toward the back of the track
To see Ruffian Who seems to have found Pegasus Wings
Connected to the Cheetah
Flying up the rail passing everybody in her way
The crowd is going wild as Ruffian has collared the Front Running Catalina
But Catalina is having none of it ~ digging deep and finding more
With a sudden surge of supersonic speed she will not be denied the victory
Ironically It Will Be A Feline
