GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR SATURDAY IN THE SUN
WHERE 11 FRISKY FAST HORSES
ARE ALMOST NOW READY TO RUN
WE HAD A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES
PEEPTOAD & REAL QUIET ARE OUT
BOTH WILL BE DEFINITELY MISSED
OF THAT THERE'S REALLY NO DOUBT
THE POST PARADE IS JUST ENDING
BUT ONLY 10 NOW IN THE GATE
TIGER DANCER BEING SO NAUGHTY
AND MAKING EVERYONE WAIT
SHE APPEARS TO BE QUITE IRRITATED
AND LOOKING AROUND NOW TO SEE
WHERE IS THAT COOL COLT --- REAL QUIET
WHEREVER CAN THAT NAUGHTY BOY BE?
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ENCOURAGEMENT
THE HANDLERS HAVE GOTTEN HER IN
SHE STILL SEEMS PRETTY AGITATED
BUT AT LEAST THE RACE CAN BEGIN
"AND.......THEY'RE OFF" WE FINALLY HEAR
AS TWO FIRE LIKE ROCKETS GALORE
RUFFIAN AND BLUNNY TOGETHER
THE OTHERS WILL NEED TO FIND MORE!
OUT OF THE TURN HERE THEY ALL COME
STARK & DUSTY SHOWING GOOD SPEED
THEN CATALINA ALONG WITH EL PRADO
RUFF & BLUNNY ARE STILL IN THE LEAD
CRIMINAL TYPE IS NOW GAINING
A FEW LENGTHS BACK THERE'S A PAIR
CIGARSHOP & ALSO JOHN HENRY
BUT LIKE TURTLES --- ARE GETTING NOWHERE
YET EVEN AS SLOW AS THEY ARE
WAY AT THE BACK OF THE PACK
POST TIME MIKE & TIGER DANCER
ANY SPEED THE BOTH OF THEM LACK
THE TWO OF THEM SIMPLY MEANDERING
SHOWING LITTLE INTEREST TO RUN
TIGER DANCER STILL LOOKIN FOR RQ
POST TIME MIKE SEEMS HOT FROM THE SUN
THEY'VE REACHED THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
IN THE LEAD ALL ALONE NOW IS BLUNNY
DEFENDING CHAMPION - EL PRADO
STILL IN WITH A SHOT AT SOME MONEY
RUFFIAN HAD JUMPED HER OWN SHADOW
DROPPING BACK AND LOSING THE LEAD
CAN THE FILLY EVEN RECOVER AND
REGAIN THE SPEED SHE WILL NEED
AND DOWN THE STRETCH HERE THEY COME
WITH BLUNNY REFUSING TO GIVE IN
EL PRADO STILL GIVING HER ALL
TRYING TO REPEAT HER LAST WIN
WHEN SUDDENLY THE CROWD ON THEIR FEET
AS TWO UP THE RAIL NOW ARE FLYING
CATALINA FROM OUT OF THE CLOUDS
AND RUFFIAN WHO NEVER STOPPED TRYING
BOTH FILLYS TOGETHER LIKE ROCKETS
HAVE FIRED RIGHT PAST ALL THE REST
EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT RUNNING BLUNNY
WHO TODAY SEEMS CLEARLY THE BEST
IN RACING THERE IS NO "SURE THING"
UNTIL A NOSE TOUCHES THE WIRE
WITH 3 NOW RUNNING TOGETHER
WHICH OF THE THREE MAY JUST TIRE
BLUNNY.... RUFFIAN & CATALINA
A POSSIBLE DEAD HEAT WE MAY SEE
AND WITH ONLY A FURLONG TO RUN
COULD THE NOSES ON WIRE BE THREE?
THE CROWD IN A FRENZY GONE WILD
3 TRAINERS HAVE RUN TO THE TRACK
EACH HOPING TO BRING BACK THE TROPHY
WITH MORE MONEY WHEN THEY GET BACK
BUT AS THE WIRE DRAWS EVEN CLOSER
ONE OF THE THREE PULLED AHEAD
ONLY ONE NOSE TOUCHED IT FIRST
THE ONE ALL THE WAY WHO HAD LED
THE PHOTO FOR SECOND WAS CLOSE
BETWEEN CATALINA AND RUFF
NO DOUBT THAT THE WINNER WAS BLUNNY
WHO RIGHT FROM THE GATE WAS SO TUFF
DEFENDING CHAMPION-- EL PRADO
DID NOT MANAGE TO REPEAT HER GLORY
BUT SHE DID GET AWAY WITH "THE PRECIOUS"
SO FOR HER NOT AN UNHAPPY STORY
NOW HERE IS THE ORDER OF FINISH
OF WHO RAN SO FAST - OR TOO SLOW
TIGER DANCER STILL LOOKIN FOR RQ
