Good afternoon and welcome to Midweek Mayhem At Tampa Bay Downs
Defending Champion Cruzan will have 7 Contentious Challengers
Trying To Prevent Another Repeat Victory

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME


Ruffian Leads the way followed closely by Digger , Tiger Dancer + Blunny
Zippy is a few lengths back, And even farther back are Roamin…Cruzan + Dusty

THEYRE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

Ruffian Continues to show the way at the front
defending champion Cruzan is gaining ground quickly
Digger and Tiger Dancer are next
Blunny and Zippy are only a couple of Lengths behind that duo

Far back are Roamin and Dusty

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

Ruffian now has a Hot To Trot Cruzan on her Tail

These 2 Have separated themselves from the rest
as Digger and Tiger Dancer are running for the Bodacious Bouquet

Blunny and Zippy still With a chance at some purse money

Suddenly with an explosive surge of supersonic speed
Defending champion Cruzan has flown past Ruffian
And will Repeat by daylight as well as BOTS Glory for the Colts

Tight photo finish for the Bodacious bouquet
Digger by the slimmest of Whiskers over Tiger Dancer
