**RESULTS**

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

Image

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 --
IS STILL RECOVERING AT THE EQUINE REHABILITATION CENTRE
Image


PEEPTOAD --
IS TAKING SOME TIME OFF FOR R & R
Image


CIGARSHOP --
NO WORD YET FROM HIS TRAINER
BUT HOPEFULLY HE IS OKAY AND JUST MISSED THE FLIGHT
Image


THE HORSES ARE BEGINNING TO ENTER THE GATE....

EVERYBODY IS LOADING NICELY EXCEPT FOR TIGER DANCER
WHO IS BEING A VERY NAUGHTY GIRL ---
GIVING THE HANDLERS A TOUGH TIME GETTING HER TO GO IN

SHE SEEMS A LITTLE BIT STRESSED OUT WHICH COULD BE
THE FACT THAT CIGARSHOP IS NOT HERE?
BUT THAT IS JUST A GUESS ---
WHOEVER KNOWS WHAT MAKES A FILLY BE PERSNICKETY

THE PEPPERMINTS & BLINDFOLD CONVINCED HER TO GO INTO THE GATE

FINALLY .... WE ARE READY TO RUN

AND AWAAAAAAY THEY GO...... IN THE SUPER-BOWL STAKES

Image


NOBODY SEEMS ANXIOUS TO TAKE THE LEAD YET ---
STARK & BLUNNY INHERIT THE LEAD GOING INTO THE FIRST TURN

COMING OUT OF THE TURN IT'S CRIMINAL TYPE
WHO SUDDENLY WITH A BIG MOVE HAS TAKEN OVER COMMAND
OF THE RACE AS HE RUNS FOR A REPEAT VICTORY

BLUNNY IS SHOWING GOOD EARLY SPEED
DUSTY IS RIGHT THERE ALONG WITH
REAL QUIET -- OAKLAWN CAPPER & POST-TIME-MIKE

THESE 6 HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE REST OF THE FIELD
BY A HUGE MARGIN AS THEY HEAD
TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

IT'S STILL CRIMINAL TYPE WITH A SHORT LEAD
WHEN SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET
SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES.....

AS DUSTY HAS FIRED LIKE A ROCKET
AND HAS OVERTAKEN CRIMINAL TYPE
AS IF HE WERE STANDING STILL

Image


CRIMINAL TYPE STILL RUNNING WELL IN 2nd

POST TIME MIKE HAS MOVED UP INTO 3rd

OAKLAWN CAPPER & RUFFIAN PICKING UP SPEED NOW
AND JUST OFF OF THE TAILS OF THE FRONT RUNNING 3

BLUNNY & STARK ALONG WITH REAL QUIET ARE NEXT
THOSE 3 ACROSS THE TRACK IN A LINE

CATALINA IS VERY FAR BACK

AND RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE IS TIGER DANCER
SHOWING NO SPEED OR INTEREST IN RUNNING
Image


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


DUSTY SHOWING AMAZING SPEED HAS SEPARATED HERSELF
FROM THE REST OF THE FIELD BY A HUGE MARGIN

BLUNNY SUDDENLY GOT HIS MOJO RUNNING
WITH A TREMENDOUS SHOW OF POWER & HAS MOVED UP
INTO 2nd PLACE BUT STILL A LONG WAY BEHIND DUSTY

JUST OFF OF HIS TAIL ARE
STARK & POST TIME MIKE RUNNING SIDE-BY-SIDE

CRIMINAL TYPE HAS DROPPED BACK AS HE
ALMOST CLIPPED HEELS WITH REAL QUIET

CATALINA -- RUFFIAN & OAKLAWN CAPPER

WITH A TURTLE AND A SNAIL FOR A COMPANY
IS TIGER DANCER

DUSTY IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THIS RACE
AS HER SPEED & POWER HAVE LEFT THE FIELD
FAR BACK IN HER MIGHTY WAKE

BLUNNY --- STARK --- PTM
WITH A KITTY WHISKER SEPARATING THEM...
ARE LOCKED IN A BATTLE OF THEIR OWN
FOR A BIGGER PIECE OF THE PURSE

THERE WILL BE NO PHOTO FINISH TODAY
AS DUSTY MADE IT VERY CLEAR AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
SHE WAS THE SUPER BOWL "QUEEN"
AND WOULD STAND IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE

Nice write-up and nice graphics, in fact they were nicer than most of our picks!

Congrats to Dusty on a remarkable job with Gulfstream's Donn Day!
I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.
