Defending Champion Cruzan will be running for a Repeat Romp
7 Contentious Challengers All trying to prevent that from happening

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO!
And It IS the Defending Champion Cruzan away with a Huge Lead!
This Colt Definitely has winning on his mind today

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

Cruzan Continues to lead the way far ahead of the closest challengers

It’s at least 20 Lance back to Zippy + Digger
This Duo Followed closely by Roamin + Blunny

Even farther back are the three FILLYS
Dusty ~ Ruffian ~ Tiger Dancer
Who seem to have forgotten it’s a Battle Of The Sexes today!

THEY’RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

Cruzan Beginning to look a little leg weary as the closers are gaining ground quickly
Digger and Roamin just a length behind the front runner
Blunny + Zippy Just another couple lengths behind that duo

The 3 Frustrated Fillys Out for a morning stroll
Showing no energy or interest in running today

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

With a repeat victory on the line
Cruzan is doing everything he can to hold on

But Digger and Roamin I’m not making that easy to do
They are gaining on the defending champion with every stride

The Energizer Blunny and Zippy are several lengths behind them

AT THE WIRE ………… TOO CLOSE TO CALL !
PHOTO TO DETERMINE IF THE CHAMP REPEATS OR NOT!

The stewards are examining the replay
with an objection flashing on the tote board

FINALLY AFTER A LONG DELAY…..
