**RESULTS**



GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME TO
SUPURR~SATURDAY AT CHURCHILL DOWNS

OUR FEATURE EVENT WILL BE:
"THE WILEY WHISKER STAKES"




DEFENDING CHAMP EL PRADO WILL BE RUNNING FOR
THAT ELUSIVE '3~PEAT TROPHY' -- AS 10 CHALLENGERS
WILL BE RUNNING TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING

NINE ARE QUIETLY STANDING IN THE GATE JUST WAITING
FOR A DIFFERENT VERSION OF 'BIG CAT DIARY' AS RUFFIAN
AND TIGER DANCER ARE BOTH ACTING UP REFUSING TO GO IN



FINALLY THE BLINDFOLDS ARE ON
AND BOTH NAUGHTY FILLYS HAVE BEEN LED IN
AS WE NOW ARE READY TO RUN


...AND AWAAAAAAAAY THEY GO -- IN THE WILEY WHISKER STAKES




REIGNING CO-HOTY: STARK-THE-SHARK
WASTING NO TIME AT ALL
GOES OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD

HEADING INTO THE TURN

POST TIME MIKE -&- THUNDER CAT NOW JOIN STARK
AS PEEPTOAD QUICKLY MAKES IT A FOURSOME
THESE FOUR CLEARLY ARE THE ONES WITH SPEED SO FAR

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

AS STARK STILL IN COMMAND
HAS A HALF LENGTH LEAD
OVER PEEPTOAD -&- THUNDER CAT

POST TIME MIKE DID NOT HANDLE THE TURN WELL
AND NOW HAS DROPPED BACK QUICKLY

IT'S 10 LENGTHS BACK TO CATALINA ~
POST TIME MIKE -&- BLUNNY

TRAILING BY HUGE MARGINS ARE THE REST OF THE FIELD
DUSTY ~ RUFFIAN ~ CIGARSHOP ~ TIGER DANCER -&- EL PRADO

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

STARK SUDDENLY SPOOKED AT SOMETHING ON THE TRACK
HIS LOSS OF FOCUS AND MOMENTUM OPENED THE DOOR FOR
THUNDER CAT -- WHO QUICKLY POUNCED UPON THE OPPORTUNITY
TAKING OVER COMMAND OF THE LEAD

PEEPTOAD IS STILL RUNNING STRONGLY AND IS JUST A LENGTH
BEHIND STARK WHO HAS REGAINED HIS FOCUS -&- SPEED

BLUNNY FINALLY FOUND HIS 'MOJO' AND IS MOVING UP QUICK


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


THUNDER CAT IS ROARING AND POURING IT ON NOW

STARK IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH THE FIERCE FILLY IN FRONT

PEEPTOAD IS NEXT -- BUT JUST A HALF LENGTH IN FRONT OF BLUNNY

IT'S AT LEAST 10 LENGTHS BACK TO
CIGARSHOP, CATALINA -&- DUSTY

~ AND WAY FAR BACK IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE ~
POST TIME MIKE + EL PRADO -- WHO KNOWS NOW
THAT HER 3-PEAT HAS GONE THE WAY OF THE DINOSAUR

RUFFIAN -&- TIGER DANCER NEVER EVEN GOT INTO THE RACE
THEY SEEM MORE INTERESTED IN WHAT'S GOIN ON IN THE INFIELD
THAN WHAT'S HAPPING ON THE TRACK!
THEIR CONNECTIONS APPEAR TO BE HEADING FOR THE BAR!


THE WIRE IS JUST AHEAD


THUNDER CAT TAKES A QUICK GLANCE BACK AT STARK
WHO IS NOT GAINING ANY GROUND BUT JUST TO
BE SURE ~ THE FRISKY FIREY FILLY TURNS UP THE HEAT TO MAKE
HER VICTORY EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE SO NO PHOTO WILL BE NEEDED

INDEED THERE IS NO DOUBT WHO WILL STAND IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE



THE THUNDER ROLLED -&- ROARED
WITH POWER -&- PURRRFECTION


TODAY THE ''SHARK'' WAS NO MATCH FOR THE ''CAT!''
KIND OF LIKE THAT VIDEO OF THE CAT ATTACKING A GATOR!
AGAINST ALL 'LOGIC' OF NATURE ~ BUT .......
