Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE RAVEN
After a long layoff, This High Flying Colt
Left the field chasing his tail from the start

For those who may have missed it
Here is the instant replay

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

Raven Still looking strong and not showing any sign of tiring
AEA Right At His Tail looming a Major Threat to Steal Victory

Zippy and Digger Neck + Neck Competing to Catch The Bodacious Bouquet
Or To The Shire To Steal The Precious

Ruffian and Blunny just another Length back with an outside chance of some money

AT THE WIRE = WAY TOO CLOSE TO CALL
PHOTO FINISH ~ HOLD ALL TICKETS 🎟



OBJECT LIGHTS FLASHING
TRAINERS + JOCKEYS ON THE PHONE WITH STEWARDS

The sound of the crowd is divided into 2 Distinct Tones

The deep throated resonance of the men for the RAVEN
The higher pitched delicate voices of the ladies for AEA

After a very long time the tote board lights have stopped flashing
Now the ROAR from the crowd is definitely Masculine

CELEBRATING NATIONAL DAY OF SILENCE
A HOLIDAY DEFINITELY NOT OBSERVED BY RUFFIAN
THE. “ SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH “ STAKES


The Dynamic Dozen Are in the gate and ready to run

And Away They Go In The “ Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Stakes

The 12 Clearly divided evenly between the Speedsters and the SlowMoes

6 Across the track In front Heading into the Turn
Ruffian, Dusty, Blunny, Digger, Post Time Mike, Tiger Dancer

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

It is now Dusty all alone at the front with a huge lead
At least 13 lengths back are Tiger Dancer, Senator + Zippy

There’s a big gap to the rest of the field chasing this freaky fast foursome
Cruzan, Blunny, Digger, Raven
Another long gap back to The rest of the field
Ruffian, Post Time Mike, Roamin, AEA

THEY’RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

Dusty Having everything go her own way with no challengers in sight yet
But now the closers are starting to put the pressure on the front running Filly

Zippy ~ Digger ~ Raven Picking up the pace moving up quickly
Another few lengths back are ~ Tiger Dancer, Blunny, Senator

Another 7 Lengths back Post Time Mike, AEA,Ruffian, Cruzan + Roamin

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

Dusty starting to look a little leg weary but still with a commanding lead
Zippy, Digger, Raven are gaining Ground with every stride
Tiger Dancer, Blunny, and Senator only a couple of lengths back

Suddenly A Huge Roar From the crowd all eyes looking towards the back
The Cause of the Commotion is Cruzan, Who suddenly grew Pegasus wings
Flying from the back of the pack passing one after another
BUT ~ can he get there in time

The answer comes quickly and decisively
YES HE CAN AND YES HE DID

Dusty’s Jockey seems to have quite a shocked look on his face
Having been quite confident of a victory until the last couple strides
As Cruzan flew on by to Steal The Glory in a Heartbeat

This will probably go down as one of the most breathtaking finishes of the year
Proving once again the old clichés
“ Ain’t No Thing As A Sure Thing “
“ It Ain’t Over Till The Stout Lady Sings “

And the song she’s singing now is “ Don’t Stop Believing “

Cruzan With a breathtaking display of Determination
Stealing the victory away in the Final Furlong
