LEAVING THE REST OF THE FIELD WONDERING WHAT JUST HAPPENED

DID THEIR GATES OPEN AT THE SAME TIME?

INTO THE TURN
Image

IT'S ALL EL PRADO IN CHARGE OF THE RACE

RUFFIAN JUMPED A SHADOW IN THE TURN & HAS DROPPED BACK BADLY
--- LOSING ALL MOMENTUM

AND THERE GOES CIGARSHOP -- JOHN HENRY & CRIMINAL TYPE
A COLT TRIO MAKING A POWERFUL MOVE TO BE
WITHIN JUST 2 LENGTHS BEHIND THE LEADER

IT'S ANOTHER 10 LENGTHS BACK TO
TIGER DANCER & CATALINA

AND AT THE BACK ARE
DUSTY ~ GOTADUN-QH & RUFFIAN


THE HORSES HAVE REACHED THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
Image

AND NOW THE COMPLEXION OF THE RACE HAS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED

EL PRADO ONCE 15--20 LENGTHS IN THE LEAD ---
NOW SHOWING SIGNS OF TIRING AND LOSING GROUND

BUT NOTHING IS SLOWING DOWN JOHN HENRY WHO IS SHOWING
INCREDIBLE DETERMINATION & ENERGY

CIGARSHOP ALSO RUNNING POWERFULLY TODAY
RUNNING STRIDE FOR STRIDE NEXT TO JOHN HENRY

BOTH COLTS ARE RIGHT AT THE TAIL OF EL PRADO

CATALINA & TIGER DANCER
BOTH FILLIES TURNING UP THE HEAT NOW AND GAINING GROUND
WITH EVERY STRIDE ----- ARE NEXT

GOTADUN-QH
NOW MAKING HER BID IS JUST OFF THE TAIL OF TIGER DANCER

CRIMINAL TYPE & DUSTY ARE ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK

ALONE WAY AT THE BACK IS A VERY TIRED RUFFIAN

-------- AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

THE FEVER PITCH OF THE CROWD IS SOARING BECAUSE
WE HAVE A 3-WAY MATCH RACE ON OUR HANDS NOW FOLKS!

IT'S NO LONGER A RUNAWAY WIN FOR EL PRADO WHICH IT
SEEMED LIKE UNTIL THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

CIGARSHOP & JOHN HENRY ARE TURNING THIS INTO
A REAL BATTLE ON THE FRONT END

CATALINA & TIGER DANCER ALL OUT & WITH A SHOT ARE NEXT
ABOUT 3 LENGTHS BEHIND THE LEADERS

GOTADUN-QH STILL RUNNING STRONGLY IS NEXT

AND NOW THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING

JOHN HENRY SUDDENLY BROKE AWAY FROM CIGARSHOP
AND NOW IS NECK & NECK WITH EL PRADO

THESE 2 RUNNING SIDE BY SIDE
THE FILLY & THE COLT
A POSSIBLE DEAD HEAT LOOMS JUST AHEAD

CIGARSHOP IS RIGHT THERE --- A WHISKER AWAY

AND HERE COMES THE WIRE
WAY TOO CLOSE TO CALL!
