Okay, so I'm at the golf course just after sunrise this morning looking for a caddy and I see this new kid....

STARK: You're new around here and you're pretty young, do you think you can help me?
CADDY: Well, I've helped some pretty famous golfers before like Charles Barkley and Bill Murray.

STARK: I need a different kind of help, do you know anything about pickin the ponies?
CADDY: The only pony ride I ever had cost 25cents and it was in front of Walmart.

STARK: Ohh great, you have no clue, dare I ask about how you are with the Maidens?
CADDY: I'm not really sure, I mean, well, uhmm, why, why does that matter anyway?

STARK: Well kid, I need somebody with some life experience, BOTS is more than just lucky numbers y'know.
CADDY: Well sir, for whatever it's worth, my Grandma was Jeane Dixon, does that help any?

STARK: Houston, we have a winner, open those gates and let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**RESULTS**




WELCOME TO MIDWEEK~MAYHEM AT GULFSTREAM PARK
TODAY IS ANOTHER RACE IN THE BOTS SERIES
(BATTLE OF THE SEXES = FILLYS -VS- COLTS)



ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE A SPECIAL FEATURE EVENT
THE "4/20 LEGALLY HIGH STAKES"




WE HAVE A FINE FIELD OF 10 RUNNERS WITH A SCRATCH OF
OAKLAWN CAPPER, WHO APPARENTLY GOT ON THE WRONG PLANE
IN ARKANSAS AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS!
{HE PROBABLY MADE A WRONG TURN AT ALBUQUERQUE} --

WE HAVE AN EVENLY DIVIDED FIELD -- WITH 5 FILLYS &
5 COLTS READY TO CONTEST THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES

THE HORSES ARE STANDING NICELY IN THE STARTING GATE WITHOUT INCIDENT
ALTHOUGH RUFFIAN SEEMS A BIT RESTLESS
HER TRAINER HAD TOLD US PREVIOUSLY
SHE IS NOT REACTING WELL TO THE HUMIDITY IN FLORIDA

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO




LIKE A JUNGLE CAT, WHO HAS "SPOTTED" HER "PREY"
TIGER DANCER HAS LEFT THE STARTING GATE WITH A MIGHTY ROAR



JOINING HER ON THE LEAD IS REAL QUIET ALSO
WITH A VERY POWERFUL MOVE OUT OF THE GATE

THESE TWO HAVE LEFT THE REST OF THE FIELD
VERY FAR BACK PLAYING CATCH UP IN THE EARLY GOING
... IT'S ABOUT 10 LENGHTS BACK TO DUSTY - STARK & EL PRADO
... CATALINA IS NEXT .... FOLLOWED BY RUFFIAN

VERY FAR BACK ARE
CRIMINAL TYPE --- BLUNNY & CIGARSHOP

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

WITH TIGER DANCER ALONE ON THE LEAD NOW,
HAVING LEFT REAL QUIET FOLLOWING HER TAIL
AS IT DISAPPEARED INTO THE DISTANCE

DUSTY AND STARK ARE AT LEAST 10 LENGTHS BEHIND
REAL QUIET WHO IS TRYING HIS BEST TO CATCH UP
TO THE TIGER WHO IS DANCING AWAY ON THE LEAD



THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

THIS SPEED HAS PICKED UP NOW AS REAL QUIET IS CLOSING IN
ON TIGER DANCER WITH EVERY STRIDE

SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET
SCREAMING WITH A DEAFENING ROAR
.... NOW WE SEE WHAT IT IS CAUSING THIS OUTCRY

IT'S DUSTY AND CATALINA -- LIKE TWIN TORNADOES
FLYING BY REAL QUIET AS IF HE WERE ONLY TROTTING




THE COLT SEEMED GENUINELY STUNNED AS
THE 2 FILLYS BLEW RIGHT ON PAST HIM
:OMG:

THE FRONT RUNNING 4 HAVE NOW LEFT THE REST OF THE FIELD
RUNNING IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE AS IF THEY ARE RUNNING 2 RACES
NOW SEPARATED BY A HUGE GAP

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

TIGER DANCER STILL IN THE LEAD
BUT SHE IS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT LATE BIT LEG WEARY
AS DUSTY - CATALINA & REAL QUIET ARE CLOSING QUICKLY
ON THE FRONT RUNNING LEADER

IT IS AT LEAST 20 LENGTHS BACK TO EL-PRADO
ANOTHER FIVE BACK TO STARK & CIGARSHOP

EVEN FURTHER BACK, LIKE THREE SNAILS JUST MOSEYING ALONG
WE SEE BLUNNY ... CRIMINAL TYPE & RUFFIAN


WHO APPEAR TO BE STRUGGLING
POSSIBLY WITH HUMIDITY OR THE TRACK SURFACE
BUT WHAT EVER IT IS THESE 3 SEEMED
TO THROW IN THE TOWEL ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING

THE EXCITEMENT IS ALL UP AT THE FRONT
AS TIGER DANCER IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO HOLD ON
HAVING LED BY A HUGE MARGIN FROM THE GATE
NOW APPARENTLY TIRING AND THE HOPE OF A REPEAT VICTORY
SEEMS TO BE DWINDLING WITH EVERY STRIDE AS THE WIRE DRAWS CLOSER

CATALINA & REAL QUIET HAVE CLOSED THE GAP
AND ARE NOW JUST OFF OF THE TAIL OF TIGER DANCER

BUT..........HOLD ON FOLKS
IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL A NOSE TOUCHES THE WIRE

THE CROWD IS GOING WILD WITH 4 ACROSS THE TRACK IN A LINE NOW
--- 3 FILLYS & A COLT ---
EACH DESPERATELY TRYING TO CAPTURE THE VICTORY + GLORY

WE MAY EVEN SEE A 4-WAY DEAD HEAT!

HERE COMES THE WIRE BUT ... TOO CLOSE TO CALL

~WHOOO Will it Be~

FROM OUR VANTAGE POINT IT APPEARS THAT AT THE LAST MOMENT
DUSTY DUG DEEP TO FIND THAT LITTLE EXTRA BIT OF MOJO
AND MAY INDEED HAVE PUT HER NOSE ON THE WIRE FIRST

**HOLD ALL TICKETS**
OBJECTION LIGHTS FLASHING
STEWARDS HEARING COMPLAINTS & VIEWING REPLAY

THE TOTE BOARD IS SHOWING --- DUSTY = 1st




BUT A VERY TIGHT PHOTO FOR 2nd / 3rd / 4th
AFTER A LOT OF DISCUSSION WITH TRAINERS & JOCKEYS
HANDS BEING THROWN IN THE AIR IN FRUSTRATION
TRAINERS STALKING OFF THE TRACK OBVIOUSLY UPSET

2nd ~ CATALINA ============= $84.80

3rd ~ REAL QUIET ============ $82.10
