**RESULTS**



ONCE AGAIN MY APOLOGIES
RESULTS ARE SHORT & SWEET
YEAR END AWARDS TAKE PRIORITY
TRYING SO HARD TO COMPLETE




OUR FEATURE EVENT OF TODAY
IS CALLING FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
THE ''FAREWELL TO JAKE'' STAKES WE RUN
GRIEF IS THE PRICE PAID FOR LOVE





SUPURRR SATURDAY = NOT VERY 'SUPER'
PERHAPS IT WAS JUST DUE TO RAIN
THE EFFORTS DISPLAYED IN THIS RACE
WON'T BRING ANYONE GLORY OR FAME

WE ALSO HAVE HAD SOME SCRATCHES
CRIMINAL TYPE IS STILL AT THE VET
OAKLAWN CAPPER IN THE STUD BARN
CIGARSHOP ON VACATION, YOU BET!

SO 10 ENTERED THE GATE FULL OF HOPE
UMBRELLAS WERE UP IN THE CROWD
JOCKEYS WITH PLENTY OF GOGGLES
MAYBE SOME WITH MORE THAN ALLOWED!




AND AWAY THEY ALL GO IN THE RAIN
TWO COLTS WHO DON'T CARE IF ITS WET
AWAY LIKE TWIN BATS OUTTA HELL
NO SPEED COULD THE OTHER 8 GET




IT'S DEFENDING CHAMPION STARK
WITH POST TIME MIKE TOGETHER
THE REST OF THE FIELD FAR BEHIND
NONE CAN HANDLE THIS WEATHER

OUT OF THE TURN HERE THEY COME
THE COLT DUO REMAINS IN THE LEAD
WHEN SUDDENLY ALONG HAS COME DUSTY
FINDING THE ENERGY SHE'LL NEED!

THE FILLY HAS CHALLENGED THE COLTS
TO MAKE IT NOW 3 ACROSS THE TRACK
BLUNNY --- JOHN HENRY --- REAL QUIET
ARE NEXT BUT STILL REALLY FAR BACK

IT'S A VERY BIG GAP BACK TO THE REST
PEEPTOAD, TIGER DANCER & RUFF
AND STRUGGLING IS POOR CATALINA
WHO'S FINDING THIS WEATHER TOO TUFF

....


THE TRACK IS NOTHING BUT MUD NOW
THE GOGGLES ARE FLYING OFF FAST
THE 3 IN THE LEAD HARDLY RUNNING
IN DEEP MUD SUCH SPEED CANNOT LAST

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
AS STARK HAS FALLEN BACK NOW
DUSTY & POST TIME MIKE LEAD
THO MOST ARE WONDERING HOW!

NOW SUDDENLY SOMEONE IS FLYING
WE'RE WONDERING ~ ~ ~ WHO CAN IT BE?
IT'S BLUNNY NOT MINDING THE RAIN
SO NOW IN THE LEAD WE HAVE THREE






AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY ALL COME
THE FRACTIONS ARE HORRIFICALLY SLOW
ALL OF THE HORSES ARE STRUGGLING
HOW FAST IN DEEP MUD CAN THEY GO?

THE ANSWER TO THAT WE NOW WITNESS
AS SOMEONE IS MOVING UP FAST
IT'S RUFFIAN WHO LET OUT HER 'CHEETAH'
AND ALL THOSE IN FRONT SHE NOW PASSED!




THE RACE HAS CHANGED OH SO QUICKLY
IT'S DUSTY ~ RUFFIAN AND BLUNNY
POST TIME MIKE & JOHN HENRY
STILL IN WITH A CHANCE OF SOME MONEY




THE WIRE LOOMS JUST UP AHEAD
WITH ONE FINAL DESPERATE RUN
IT'S DUSTY ALL OUT IN THE LEAD
THE FILLY HAS JUST 'GOT ER DONE'




THE PHOTO FOR 'PLACE' JUST CAME IN
BY A WHISKER FOR 2nd PLACE MONEY
WILL BE RUFFIAN THE LATE FLYING FILLY
WHOSE NOSE JUST OUT FINISHED BLUNNY

....


THERE MAY BE SOME LATER OBJECTIONS
TO WHAT THESE PRICES WILL SHOW
SO IF YOU THINK THEY ARE WRONG
PLEASE LET THE "CAT IN CHARGE" KNOW!
