GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO A SPECIAL
SUPURRR SATURDAY EVENT FEATURING
THE REAL QUIET HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAKES
WE HAVE FINE FIELD OF TEN READY TO RUN
FOR GLORY --- A BIG PURSE TOO!
WE HAD A LATE SCRATCH OF PEEPTOAD
DUE TO UNAVOIDABLE CIRCUMSTANCES
THE HORSES ARE STANDING QUIETLY JUST
WAITING FOR POST TIME MIKE WHO IS BEING
A VERY NAUGHTY BOY --- REFUSING TO GO IN
HE SEEMS STRESSED AND AGITATED
WITH SOME COAXING AND PEPPERMINTS
HE HAS GIVEN IN AND GONE IN
"AND........... AWAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO"
OUT OF THE GATE LIKE A ROCKET IS CRIMINAL TYPE
JUST A LENGTH BACK ARE
DUSTY -- TIGER DANCER -- CIGARSHOP & REAL QUIET
IT'S ANOTHER 10 LENGTHS BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD
WHO APPEAR TO BE STRUGGLING WITH THE TRACK ---
BLUNNY NOW BEGINNING TO SHOW SPEED
CATALINA RIGHT THERE WITH BLUNNY
RUFFIAN --- JOHN HENRY --- POST TIME MIKE
NONE SHOWING ANY SPEED OR DESIRE TO RUN - YET
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
NOW DUSTY HAS TAKEN A BOLD COMMAND OF THE RACE ---
FILLY ON FIRE FOR SURE
TIGER DANCER IS A LENGTH BEHIND DUSTY
AS REAL QUIET IS HOT ON THE TAIL OF THE TIGER!
CIGARSHOP + BLUNNY ARE NEXT
ANOTHER LENGTH BACK ARE
CRIMINAL TYPE & CATALINA STILL VERY LETHARGIC
AND WAY FAR AT THE BACK ARE
RUFFIAN - JOHN HENRY - POST TIME MIKE
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
DUSTY CONTINUES TO FLY AWAY FROM THE FIELD
TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY ROARED AND IS NIPPING
RIGHT AT THE HEELS OF DUSTY
THESE TWO FILLIES FAR SUPERIOR - RUNNING WITH
BRILLIANT SPEED --------- DETERMINATION & PIZZAZZ
THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE PLAYING CATCH UP NOW
BUT HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOLKS....
THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SUDDENLY SCREAMING
WHAT COULD IT BE CAUSING THIS COMMOTION?
SOMEONE IS FLYING UP THE RAIL BUT WITH SO MANY
BUNCHED TOGETHER --- TOO HARD TO TELL YET
NOW WE CAN SEE --- THE HOT PINK SILKS OF RUFFIAN!
THE FILLY HAS FLOWN FROM LAST TO PASS ONE AFTER
ANOTHER AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF STOPPING!
THE CROWD IS GOING WILD AS RUFFIAN LET HER
INNER CHEETAH STALK THE 2 LEADERS AND NOW
IS RUNNING RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
WHAT LOOKED LIKE AN EASY SURE THING WIN FOR DUSTY
NOW IS A FIERY FREE FOR ALL FILLY FEST
WITH 3 ACROSS THE TRACK - A WHISKER SEPARATES THEM
IT'S AT LEAST 13 LENGTHS BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD
REAL QUIET & BLUNNY SIDE BY SIDE
BEHIND THAT DUO ARE
JOHN HENRY - CIGARSHOP - CRIMINAL TYPE - CATALINA
AND RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE IS POST TIME MIKE
WHO APPEARS TO HAVE HAD ISSUES FROM THE GATE
THE WIRE IS JUST UP AHEAD
THE 3 FILLIES SHOWING SUPER SONIC SPEED
NECK AND NECK --- STRIDE FOR STRIDE
WE MAY EVEN SEE A 3-WAY DEAD HEAT?
BUT SUDDENLY DUSTY HAS HAD ENUFF
SHE HAS SHAKEN OFF THE RAGING RUFF
SHE HAS LEFT TIGER DANCER IN HER WAKE
AS THE WINNER'S PURSE MONEY SHE WILL TAKE
REAL QUIET THO FAR BEHIND
THE "PRECIOUS" THE COLT DID FIND
JUST MISSING THE "PRECIOUS"
AND THE 4TH PLACE MONEY
WHO RAN ALMOST AS GOOD
IN 5TH WILL BE BLUNNY
JOHN HENRY / CIGARSHOP AND CT
RAN FAIRLY WELL THRU THE HALF
CATALINA HAD NO CLOSING SPEED
TO CALL IT SPEED IS SIMPLY A LAUGH
AND WAY AT THE BACK BEING EASED
POOR POST TIME MIKE IS IN TROUBLE
HIS CONNECTIONS DISMAYED AT THE GATE
AS HE PUNCTURED THEIR HAPPINESS BUBBLE
BUT ON THE DAY'S MUCH BRIGHTER SIDE
THE THREE FILLIES WITH FANTASTIC FIRE
ALMOST A DEAD HEAT WE DID WE SEE
AS THREE NOSES TOUCHED DOWN AT THE WIRE
