OUR GUEST TRACK ANNOUNCER IS --> CATZILLA
(STEPPING IN FOR JOHN HENRY)




OUR FEATURE EVENT IS -- THE ASHAVARI STAKES --
HONORING A VERY SPECIAL FELINE



WE HAVE A FINE FIELD OF 10 RUNNING IN THE BOTS CHALLENGE
FEATURING 4 FILLYS & 6 COLTS
BUT WINNING ISN'T A QUESTION OF GENDER ~
BUT MORE A BATTLE OF SPEED & STAMINA
PLUS A DYNAMIC DETERMINATION TO WIN

NINE OF THE 10 ARE STANDING CALMLY IN THE GATE
WAITING FOR RUFFIAN TO SETTLE DOWN
AND STOP BEING SUCH A NAUGHTY GIRL
SHE MUST HAVE A SWEET TOOTH BECAUSE IT ONLY TOOK
A FEW PEPPERMINTS TO CONVINCE HER TO GO IN

NOW WE ARE READY TO RUN THE ASHAVARI STAKES

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO!




A TRIO BREAKS SHARPLY TO TAKE THE EARLY LEAD
CATALINA - STARK & BLUNNY
SHOWING VERY GOOD SPEED IN THE EARLY GOING

IT'S JUST 3 LENGTHS BACK TO JOHN HENRY & DUSTY

THE REMAINING 5 HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO SHOW
ANY SPEED BUT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

IT'S CATALINA WHO HAS BROKEN AWAY FROM THE FIELD
TO TAKE A COMMANDING LEAD

HER CLOSEST COMPETITORS ARE BLUNNY & DUSTY

THE REST OF THE RUNNERS ARE PLAYING CATCH UP

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


CATALINA STILL IN TOTAL COMMAND WITH 3 VERY
STRONG & DETERMINED CHALLENGERS ON HER TAIL

BLUNNY ~ DUSTY & OAKLAWN CAPPER
ALL 3 STILL WITH A CHANCE

IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO
CIGARSHOP - JOHN HENRY - TIGER DANCER & STARK

RUNNING --- OR MORE LIKE MEANDERING ALONG ARE
CRIMINAL TYPE & RUFFIAN ....
NEITHER ONE SHOWING ANY INCLINATION TO RUN




AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


CATALINA LEADING THE WAY TO THE WIRE

BLUNNY - DUSTY & OAKLAWN CAPPER ALL OUT
AND GAINING GROUND ON THE FIERCE FILLY WHO
IS ALL HEART AND DETERMINATION REFUSING TO GIVE UP

BLUNNY HAS MOVED UP AND NOW
IS JUST A LENGTH OFF OF CATALINA'S TAIL

CAN THE FRISKY FIERY FILLY HOLD ON FOR BOTS GLORY
CAN THE BOLD BRAVE COLT OVERTAKE HER

THE ANSWERS ARE BLOWING IN THE WIND @ THE WIRE
YES SHE CAN! AND NO HE CANNOT

**GATE TO WIRE VICTORY GALLOP BY CATALINA
