GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO
SUPURRR SATURDAY AT GULFSTREAM PARK

OUR FEATURE EVENT IS ~THE NEW YEAR'S GALA STAKES~
Image
WHERE PEEPTOAD WILL DO HER BEST
TO REPEAT HER WINNING EFFORT OF LAST TIME


WE HAD A LATE SCRATCH OF BLUNNY WHOSE FLIGHT
WAS DELAYED DUE TO WEATHER ----
LEAVING US WITH A FINE FIELD OF 11

THE HORSES ARE ALL STANDING QUIETLY JUST
WAITING FOR JOHN HENRY TO SETTLE DOWN AND
DECIDE TO ENTER THE GATE

Image

THIS IS YET ANOTHER TIME HE IS BEING ORNERY
THO HIS TRAINER SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING A
LOT OF GATE TRAINING WITH HIM

HE HAS FINALLY BEEN CONVINCED TO GO IN
AND WE ARE READY TO RUN

===AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THEY GO===

Image


THE ROAR OF THE CROWD IS DUE IN PART
TO THE ROAR OF TWO FILLYS
WHO STUNNED THE REST OF THE FIELD
WHEN THEY ALMOST SPROUTED WINGS OUT OF THE GATE
TO TAKE A COMMANDING LEAD BY ALMOST 20 LENGTHS!

Image

RUFFIAN & TIGER DANCER OUT THERE ALONE
ON THE LEAD PLAYING AN EARLY GAME OF
'CATCH US IF YA CAN'

Image Image

CRIMINAL TYPE & POST TIME MIKE ALSO LEFT
THE GATE WITH A BURST OF SUPER SONIC SPEED

OAKLAWN CAPPER, THE ONLY MAIDEN IN THE RACE
IS SHOWING GOOD ENERGY AND FINE FORM
AS HE DID LAST TIME IN HIS FIRST RACE
FINISHING AN IMPRESSIVE THIRD

RUNNING RIGHT WITH HIM IS CIGARSHOP
RETURNING OFF OF A SHORT LAYOFF

A FEW LENGTHS BACK ARE CATALINA & REAL QUIET
--- FOLLOWED BY PEEPTOAD & DUSTY

AND WAY FAR BACK IS JOHN HENRY WHO
STUMBLED BADLY OUT OF THE GATE AND
NOW IS PLAYING CATCH UP WITH A HUGE
AMOUNT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP

OUT OF THE TURN IT'S STILL THE ''CHEETAH''
AKA - RUFFIAN & THE TIGER IN A BIG CAT ROAR FEST

Image Image


OAKLAWN CAPPER IS GAINING GROUND WITH
EVERY STRIDE AND NOW IS RUNNING ABOUT
10 LENGTHS BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING DUO

IT'S A FEW MORE LENGTHS BACK TO
CRIMINAL TYPE & POST TIME MIKE

REAL QUIET & CIGARSHOP ARE NEXT BUT NOT
GAINING GROUND ON THE LEADERS

DUSTY -- CATALINA -- PEEPTOAD ALONG WITH
THE TRAILING JOHN HENRY ARE TRYING THEIR
BEST TO CATCH UP BUT SO FAR IT'S NOT WORKING

==== THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH ====

TIGER DANCER & RUFFIAN HAVING EVERYTHING
GOING THEIR WAY WITH NO REAL CHALLENGE YET

OAKLAWN CAPPER IS PICKING UP SPEED TO MOVE
UP EVEN CLOSER TO THE DYNAMIC DUO ON THE LEAD

=== AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME ===

THE 2 FILLYS ARE JUST PUTTING ON A SHOW
AS THEY HAVE FROM THE GATE

BUT SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET
SCREAMING LIKE A PACK OF BANSHEES AS SOMEONE
IS FLYING UP THE RAIL PASSING ONE AFTER ANOTHER

Image

FROM THE CLOUDS IT IS JOHN HENRY
WHO AWAKENED FROM A SNOOZE FEST
AS IF A BOMB HAD EXPLODED BENEATH HIS HOOVES

Image

HE HAS PASSED ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND NOW IS
TUCKED IN JUST BEHIND OAKLAWN CAPPER

THAT WAS A CLOSING KICK WORTHY OF ZENYATTA!

POST TIME MIKE & CRIMINAL TYPE ARE NEXT BUT
NOT GAINING ON THE LEADERS

THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD AND IT LOOKS
LIKE WE JUST MIGHT SEE A DH FOR THE WIN
AS NEITHER FILLY IS GIVING IN OR GIVING UP

OAKLAWN CAPPER DIGGING IN AND
HOLDING ON TO HIS 3rd PLACE SPOT
WITH JOHN HENRY RIGHT ON HIS TAIL

AND HERE COMES THE WIRE..... TOO CLOSE TO CALL!

PHOTO FINISH WITH TIGER DANCER & RUFFIAN....
Image
WHO LET LOOSE FROM THE GATE ---
LIKE A TRUE BIG CAT DIARY RUN RACE!

STEWARDS ARE REVIEWING THE REPLAY AND
BY A BIG CAT WHISKER IT IS TIGER DANCER
EMERGING WITH THE HARD FOUGHT VICTORY!

Image


VALIANT EFFORT BY RUFFIAN
JUST A WHISKER SHORT OF GLORY

OAKLAWN CAPPER WITH EXCELLENT FORM
HOLDS ON TO TAKE THE SHOW SPOT

AND THE LATE RUNNING JOHN HENRY CLOSES
LIKE PEGASUS TO CAPTURE THE PRECIOUS
