IF YOU DON'T MIND ~ THEN IT DON'T MATTER!''

IT'S 5 ACROSS THE TRACK FOR A VERY SHORT LEAD
CIGARSHOP ~ REAL QUIET ~ BLUNNY ~ STARK -&- TIGER DANCER
**WHO SEEMS PRETTY EXCITED RUNNING WITH 4 COLTS!!




OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME


BUT NOW WE SEE JUST 4 ACROSS THE TRACK
WHO HIT THE ACCELERATOR IN THE TURN
AS OTHERS FAILED TO FIRE AND KEEP UP

RUFFIAN ~ CIGARSHOP ~ DUSTY ~ JOHN HENRY
THESE 4 HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE FIELD
BY 10 LENGTHS --- AS THE REST ARE PLAYING CATCH UP NOW

BLUNNY -&- REAL QUIET ARE NEXT -
TIGER DANCER -&- STARK JUST A LENGTH BEHIND THAT DUO

POST TIME MIKE ~ PEEPTOAD -&- CATALINA TRAIL THE FIELD


THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH




AND NOW THERE IS A CLEAR CUT LEADER WHO HAS LEFT
THE OTHERS WONDERING EXACTLY WHAT 'SUPPLEMENTS'
THAT TRAINER PUTS IN THE FEED BUCKET EACH DAY?







JOHN HENRY -- SHOWING ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF HAVING
SPENT TIME AT THE VET CLINIC -- IS POURING IT ON NOW
TAKING A GIGANTIC LEAD OVER THE REST OF THE FIELD

CIGARSHOP -&- RUFFIAN ARE NEXT ... BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH
THEN BLUNNY -&- REAL QUIET ~ ANOTHER 3 LENGTHS BACK
DUSTY ~ TIGER DANCER -&- STARK
A HALF LENGTH BEHIND THAT COLT DUO

POST TIME MIKE ~ PEEPTOAD THE DEFENDING CHAMP ~ CATALINA
ALL WAY FAR BACK WITH NO CHANCE AT ALL FOR THE MONEY


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME




JOHN HENRY --- TURNING UP THE HEAT EVEN MORE
IS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF TIRING OR SLOWING DOWN AT ALL

CIGARSHOP -&- RUFFIAN ... ARE ALL OUT TRYING TO CATCH THE
SUPERSONIC SPEED-DEMON IN FRONT -- BUT IT AIN'T WORKIN!




SUDDENLY A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD
HAS EVERYONE ON THEIR FEET
AS WITHOUT WARNING -- BLUNNY ''THE ENERGIZER BUNNY''
HAS TURNED A ''BUNNY-HOP-TROT'' ... INTO A RAGING ROARING RUN




JOHN HENRY'S LEAD --- IS QUICKLY VANISHING INTO THE TWILIGHT ZONE
AS BLUNNY IS GAINING WITH EVERY STRIDE ON THE COLT IN FRONT


THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD


EVERYONE IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING
FOR WHAT NOW HAS TURNED INTO A MATCH RACE!




JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW....
WHO WILL STAND IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE ~
THAT STOUT LADY BEGINS TO SING HER SONG OF
"IT AIN'T OVER TILL YOU HEAR THE FINAL CHORD''




BLUNNY IS NECK AND NECK WITH JOHN HENRY
WHO SEEMS STARTLED THAT
ANYONE ACTUALLY CAUGHT UP TO HIM
AFTER SETTING HUGE FRACTIONS
AND A GIGANTICUS LEAD!




IS THE VERY RARE ''DEAD-HEAT'' GONNA BE IN THE HISTORY BOOK?
**ONLY A PHOTO IS GONNA DETERMINE THAT ANSWER!

NOT ONLY A PHOTO IS NEEDED FOR THE WIN
BUT ALSO A VERY CLOSE FINISH FOR 3rd & 4th --
WITH CIGARSHOP -&- RUFFIAN!




THE TOTE BOARD IS LIGHTING UP LIKE A XMAS TREE NOW
WITH OBJECTIONS GALORE!
