GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR~SATURDAY AT GULFSTREAM PARK
OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY IS THE ''SUPER-BOWL STAKES''
HORSES & BIG CATS GOING FOR THE GLORY
OF COURSE IN REAL LIFE THE HORSE IS A PREY SPECIES
AND THE PANTHER IS A PREDATOR
THE HORSE WOULD RUN AWAY
THE PANTHER WOULD GIVE CHASE
AND THE RESULT WOULD BE HOW FAST CAN THE HORSE RUN
HOWEVER, IN TODAY'S RACE ALL THE HORSES RUN FAST
ALTHOUGH SOME RUN A LOT FASTER THAN OTHERS
AND WIND UP IN THE WINNERS CIRCLE
DUE TO 3 SCRATCHES TODAY WE HAVE ONLY 10 IN THE GATE
JOHN HENRY --

EVERYBODY IS LOADING NICELY EXCEPT FOR TIGER DANCER
WHO IS BEING A VERY NAUGHTY GIRL ---
