Good Afternoon And Welcome To Supurr Saturday At Oaklawn Park

FEATURE EVENT = THE PROVOCATION STAKES

Defending Champion Post Time Mike
Will Have 9 Contentious Challengers
Trying To Prevent Another Repeat Romp

The Tenacious Ten Are In The Gate Ready To Run

AND AWAY THEY GO IN THE PROVOCATION

It’s Zippy Away with an early lead
Dusty is right at his tail
She is followed by Digger and Senator

This Fast Foursome Lead The Field Into The Turn

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

It’s Now Ruffian Who has let her Inner Cheetah Out Early in the Lead
Dusty is just a Length back with Zippy at her Tail

It is several lengths back to Senator, Blunny, and Roamin

Another gap back to Cruzan + Digger

Trailing The Field way far back
Defending Champion, Post Time Mike + Tiger Dancer

THEY’RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

Ruffian Resoundingly Roaring At The Front
Dusty Stayin Right with her just a length behind
Cruzan with an amazing Turn of foot has moved up into third
Tiger Dancer Suddenly found her best mojo moving up quickly

Defending champion Post Time Mike is struggling to keep up
Blunny is right behind him followed by Senator, Zippy, Roamin
Trailing The Field is Digger Who doesn’t seem to like the track surface today

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

Ruffian Showing why her name sake The Cheetah Is The Fastest of all
But Dusty is staying right with her and still in with a chance at victory

These 2 Fiercely Fast Fillys Have left the rest running for third place
Which Cruzan seems to have pretty well in his sights

The Wire Looms Just Ahead

TOO CLOSE TO CALL
TOTE BOARD LIT UP WITH OBJECTION LIGHTS
Stewards Examining The Replay
The Objection Has Been Dismissed
Much To The Chagrin Of The Trainer, Jockey + Owner Of The Objector
