OUTRAGEOUS + OUTLANDISH @ OAKLAWN

ONCE UPON A TIME
THE CAT WAS IN A HURRY
SO THE CHOICES THAT SHE MADE
NOW SEEM A LITTLE BLURRY

THERE WERE HARDLY ANY FELINES
OR NAMES THAT MADE HER ROAR
SO IF LUCK PREVAILS OVER STATS
EVEN SOME OF THESE CAN SCORE?

Today should be named Colts run wild over the Fillies Day...
Us Colts are on quite a roll as of late.
Meanwhile the fillies have been relegated to shaking their boobs and butts to distract us...
My partner in crime Mr Criminal Type has the BOLO out for a filly that even can compete with us

Here comes today's winning picks:

1st: 1-2-4 The Wolf is King of the city
2nd: 7-1-3 Today's Prime Number is 69
3rd: 6-1-2 Lacie's undergarments are appealing to us Colts
4th: 3-1-4 Viva all Outlaws
5th: 1-2-4 Lisa can think she is the boss but isn't
6th: 11-3-1 Elaine says Colts rule
7th: 4-1-3 What is your morning mixer?? Mine is V-8
8th: 1-4-5 When I looked down at my cards I was astounded to be holding pocket aces
9th: 3-1-4 When the dust has settled today, it has been proven once again Colts kick butt, fillies back to the kitchen prepare our meals, get ready to belch us and well you know what we like done to us...

Let's go COLTS

[RUFFIAN]

RESULTS ARE COMIN SOON
SO I'M STOPPIN BY TO SAY
THE EXPLANATION OF WHY
THERE OFTEN IS DELAY

MY WORDS ARE WRITTEN FIRST
BUT THE GRAPHICS ADD SO MUCH
SO IF U JUST WANT TOTALS
U DON'T GET THE ''TIGER TOUCH''


SOMETIMES IT'S LATE AT NIGHT
AND SHE DOES HAVE A LIFE - YA KNOW
SO SOONER OR LATER IT'S FINISHED
BUT SOME TIMES IT'S MIGHTY SLOW

SO HAVE PATIENCE LIL POSSUMS
SOME TIME TODAY YOU'LL KNOW
JUST HOW THE DAY HAD GONE
AND WHO WAS FAST OR SLOW

[RUFFIAN]

**RESULTS**




GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO MIDWEEK~MAYHEM
AT OAKLAWN PARK

WHERE OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY IS BOTS:
**BATTLE OF THE SEXES STAKES**

FILLY KITTIES -VS- THE COLT DOGS
BEAUTIES -VS- BEASTS
SASSY & STEALTHY -VS- STUDLY & STRONG




WE HAVE AN EVENLY MATCHED FIELD OF 10 RUNNING TODAY
WITH AN EQUAL BALANCE OF 5 FILLYS / 5 COLTS
{DUE TO THE SCRATCHES OF REAL QUIET AND JOHN HENRY}

THE HORSES ARE ENTERING THE STARTING GATE
ANTICIPATION AND EXCITEMENT IS IN THE AIR
BOTS DAYS ARE ALWAYS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE MONTH

EL PRADO APPEARS TO BE QUITE RESTLESS & HAS REARED UP
IN HER GATE ALMOST TOSSING HER JOCKEY
THE STEWARDS HAVE BACKED HER OUT SO
SHE CAN BE EXAMINED TO BE SURE SHE DIDN'T HURT HERSELF



EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE OKAY & GOOD TO GO AS SHE
HAS BEEN LED BACK IN AND WE ARE READY TO RUN


AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO ....




IT DOESN'T TAKE VERY LONG BEFORE THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING
REALISING THAT THEY ARE WITNESSING WHAT MIGHT BE
ANOTHER EDITION OF THE "BIG CAT DIARY" SERIES




AS RUFFIAN HAS RELEASED HER ''INNER CHEETAH'' RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE
AND TIGER DANCER HAS LET HER TIGER OUT OF THE TANK!




IT QUICKLY HAS BECAME APPARENT TO THE COLTS THAT
THEY HAVE A BIG PROBLEM RIGHT FROM THE START
AS THE TWO FIERCE FILLYS HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE FIELD
BEFORE REACHING THE FIRST TURN!

THEIR TAILS ARE QUICKLY DISAPPEARING INTO THE DISTANCE
AS THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE NOW PLAYING
"CATCH UP IF WE CAN"




OF COURSE AS WE ALL KNOW,
ANYTHING CAN AND OFTEN DOES HAPPEN
IN ANY RACE ON ANY DAY @ ANY TRACK

WE HAVE OFTEN SEEN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A RUNAWAY VICTORY
TURN INTO A FIERCE BATTLE TO THE WIRE

SO THIS EARLY IN THE RACE ---
NOBODY IS GIVING IN OR GIVING UP

....COMING OUT OF THE TURN NOTHING HAS CHANGED YET


THE "CHEETAH" (RUFFIAN) & THE DANCING TIGER
ARE RUNNING A MATCH RACE OF THEIR OWN WITH NOBODY
WITHIN 20 LENGTHS OF THEM!




THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


SOME OF THE RUNNERS HAVE PICKED UP THEIR SPEED TRYING TO MAKE
A REAL RACE OF IT, EVEN IF ITS ONLY FOR A PIECE OF THE PURSE

A FEW OTHERS THREW IN THE TOWEL AFTER THE FIRST HALF
LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT RACE DOWN THE LINE




AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

IT'S BEEN A MATCH RACE FROM THE GATE
AS THE ''BIG CAT DIARY'' EXTRAVAGANZA COULD WIND UP
AS A PHOTO FINISH AT THE WIRE OR A DH?

WITH ONLY A FURLONG TO GO....

CRIMINAL TYPE SUDDENLY DISCOVERED HE HAD HIS RACING SHOES ON
FIRING A POWERFUL CLOSING KICK BUT EVEN AS GOOD AS THAT WAS....
HE COULD NOT GET CLOSER THAN 20 LENGTHS TO THE
FRONT RUNNING FREAKY FAST FILLYS

CATALINA HAS PICKED UP HER SPEED BUT IS STILL
10 LENGTHS BEHIND CRIMINAL TYPE

CIGARSHOP, OAKLAWN CAPPER, BLUNNY, ARE WAY FAR BACK

DUSTY AND DEFENDING CHAMPION STARK...
ARE EVEN FARTHER BACK

AND RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE FROM THE GATE
SHOWING NO SPEED OR DESIRE TO RUN AT ALL IS EL PRADO
WHO DID NOT EVEN WANT TO ENTER THE GATE
AND APPARENTLY HAD NO DESIRE TO RUN EITHER


~WHO KNOWS WHICH TIME ZONE SHE'S IN~

SHE WILL BE EXAMINED BACK AT THE BARN TO BE SURE SHE DID NOT
HURT HERSELF WHEN SHE REARED UP IN THE STARTING GATE

AS THE FINISH LINE LOOMS JUST AHEAD...
THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THIS EDITION OF BIG CAT DIARY
WILL BE WRITTEN AFTER A PHOTO FINISH DETERMINES THE OUTCOME
TOO CLOSE TO CALL!

~WHOOO WILL WIN??~

IT COULD BE A DEAD HEAT BETWEEN THE TWO FAB-FILLYS
TOTALLY SHUTTING OUT THE COLTS GATE TO WIRE ---
WHO HAD NO CHANCE AT ALL IN SPITE OF THEIR
CONFIDENCE & BRAGGING ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD WIN
AND SHOW THOSE PESKY FILLYS WHO WERE BEST



AND NOW AFTER THE RACE IS OVER
WE ALL SEE WHO THAT TURNED OUT TO BE
AND IT WAS NOT A COLT!! -- --



THE PHOTO FINISH IS TAKING A REALLY LONG TIME
IT APPEARED AS IF BOTH PRETTY NOSES TOUCHED THE WIRE TOGETHER.....

THE TOTE BOARD LIGHTS HAVE FINALLY STOPPED FLASHING
THE OFFICIAL RESULTS ARE NOW POSTED
BY 1/2 OF A KITTY WHISKER.......

**RUFFIAN WHO LET HER "INNER CHEETAH" LOOSE FROM THE GATE
AND NEVER LOOKED BACK HAS EARNED A TRIP TO THE WINNERS CIRCLE




**TIGER DANCER WHO HAD A TIGER IN HER TANK
AND HER BEST DANCING SHOES ON FROM THE GATE
WAS POWERFUL & VALIANT TO THE WIRE




**CRIMINAL TYPE FOUND HIS MOJO IN THE FINAL FURLONG
TO CAPTURE THE SHOW SPOT
PREVENTING TOTAL HUMILIATION FOR THE COLTS




**AND CATALINA ONCE AGAIN HAS STOLEN "THE PRECIOUS"
BEING VERY CAUTIOUS AND ON THE LOOKOUT FOR GOLLUM ...
WHO MAY BE LURKING NEARBY IN THE BUSHES

.......


CONGRATULATIONS TO RUFFIAN ~
WHO'S SPEED & DETERMINATION WAS ENOUGH
TO SHOW THOSE BRAGGING COLTS HER FLASHY TAIL .... FROM GATE TO WIRE




KUDOS TO LA TIGRE DANSEUR FOR AN EQUALLY POWERFUL DISPLAY
OF ABILITY, SPIRIT & STYLE
WHOSE EFFORT WOULDA BEEN A WINNING ONE ON MOST OTHER DAYS

A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH TO CRIMINAL TYPE
FOR SAVING A PIECE OF COLT EGO


**KUDOS TO RUFFIAN FOR THE ~BOTS WIN~
FOR THE FANTASTIC, FABULOUS, FIERY, FILLY CATS
