SUPURRR SATURDAY RESULTS => 11/21 (DELTA DOWNS)

[RUFFIAN]

IT'S REALLY VERY DISAPPOINTING
THAT 3 FILLYS DID MISS THE GATE
IN OUR SUPURRR SATURDAY RACE
SADLY NOW WE ONLY HAVE EIGHT


WE HAVE NO LEAPING PEEPTOAD
NO CATALINA OR TIGER DANCER
SO IT LEAVES JUST DUSTY + RUFF
TO TRY AND FIND A GOOD ANSWER

THE EIGHT ARE LOADING SO NICELY
EXCEPT FOR PERSNICKETY RUFF
SHE'S REFUSING TO EVEN GO IN
MAKING THE HANDLER'S JOB VERY TUFF


THE PEPPERMINTS ALONG WITH A BLINDFOLD
HAVE FINALLY NOW DONE THE TRICK
FOR THIS VERY 'TEMPERAMENTAL' FILLY
WHO EVEN KNOWS WHAT MAKES HER TICK?


"AND THEY'RE OFF" WE FINALLY HEAR
FOR THE EARLY LEAD THERE ARE THREE
REAL QUET ---- CIGARSHOP AND BLUNNY
THEN IT'S DUSTY NOW THAT WE SEE

OUT OF THE TURN THEY ALL COME
AS THE CROWD IS UP ON THEIR FEET
TWO COLTS HAVE NOW SPROUTED WINGS
AND IT'S DOUBTFUL THEY CAN BE BEAT

IT'S CRIMINAL TYPE + POST TIME MIKE
FROM THE CLOUDS THEY JUST DID APPEAR
AND NOW THE OTHERS BEHIND THEM
HAVE LOST ALL HOPE OF GETTING NEAR

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
IT'S A MATCH RACE NOW TO THE WIRE
CRIMINAL TYPE AND POST TIME MIKE
BUT WHICH ONE MAY FALTER OR TIRE


BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING DUO
JOHN HENRY NOW GOT INTO GEAR
REAL QUIET HAS MADE UP SOME GROUND
BUT THE OTHER 4 NOT EVEN NEAR

IT'S MANY LENGTHS BACK TO THE OTHERS
CIGARSHOP ----- DUSTY AND BLUNNY
RUFFIAN JUST TROTTING ALONG
NONE WITH A SHOT AT THE MONEY

AND DOWN THE STRETCH HERE THEY COME
THE TWO COLTS BOTH LOOKING STRONG
WHEN SUDDENLY A ROAR FROM THE CROWD
AS POOF! -- CRIMINAL TYPE -- HE WAS GONE


LIKE A CANNON SUDDENLY EXPLODING
OUR REIGNING HORSE OF THE YEAR
SHOWED ALL HIS DEVOTED FANS
THE 'OLE WAR HORSE' WAS DEFINITELY HERE


HE MAY HAVE HIS SHARE OF BAD LOSSES
BUT LIKE FINE WINE HE IMPROVES WITH AGE
HE PAYS MOST OF THE DOG HOUSE MORTGAGE
BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PAGE ---

IS A COLT WHO HAS BEEN A BIG WINNER
THREE TIMES A HORSE OF THE YEAR
SO HIS FANS FORGIVE AND FORGET
THOSE RACES WHEN HE'S NOT EVEN NEAR


POST TIME MIKE WAS IMPRESSIVE
HE STAYED WITH THE WINNER SO LONG
BUT THEN IN THE FINAL FURLONGS
THE WINNER WAS JUST WAY TOO STRONG

REAL QUIET AND JOHN HENRY BOTH
STAYED STRONG AND EACH GOT A PLACE
THE OTHER FOUR CLEARLY OUTCLASSED
ON A DAY WHEN A THIEF STOLE THE RACE

SO HERE IS THE ORDER OF FINISH
BUT IF YOU THINK IT IS WRONG
JUST NOTIFY THE ''CATZILLA''
WHO WILL FIX IT BEFORE VERY LONG

RUFF HAS MADE A DOWN PAYMENT
ON THE CAT HOUSE THAT SHE ADORES
IT LOOKS LIKE SOON WILL OWN IT
WITH THE WAY SHE RUNS & SCORES

BUT POOR LIL TIGER DANCER
STRAINED HER BACK PRETTY BAD
SO IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY
HER GRAPHICS SHE'LL BE ABLE TO ADD
