**RESULTS**

GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME
TO SUPURRR SATURDAY AT GULFSTREAM PARK

OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY WILL BE:
THE 'PRE-FIREWORKS' STAKES

WITH THE LATE SCRATCHES OF:
REAL QUIET, EL PRADO -&- CIGARSHOP
DEFENDING CHAMP POST TIME MIKE WILL HAVE 8 CHALLENGERS
WHO WILL DO THEIR BEST TO PREVENT A REPEAT VICTORY

THE HORSES ARE STANDING QUIETLY
WAITING FOR TIGER DANCER TO STOP
BEING SUCH A FUSSY FILLY AND GO IN!

SOMETHING IS BOTHERING HER
AND RUMOR HAS IT THAT SHE IS DISGRUNTLED
OVER THE FAILURE OF HER FAVE BARN BUDDIES
~ CIGARSHOP & REAL QUIET ~ TO APPEAR IN THE POST PARADE!

THE FRISKY FILLY FINALLY HAS GIVEN IN AND WE ARE READY TO RUN

AND THEY'RE OFF IN 'THE PRE-FIREWORKS STAKES'......

A TRIO OF PEEPTOAD ~ BLUNNY ~ THUNDER CAT LEAD THE
FIELD INTO THE TURN -- AS BLUNNY APPEARS
TO HAVE A SMILE ON HIS FACE
BEING SANDWICHED TWEEN 2 FAB FILLYS!

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

AND A NEW LEADER HAS EMERGED ---
BLUNNY HAS SHAKEN OFF THE 2 FILLYS CROWDING HIS STYLE
NOW ALONE ON THE LEAD BUT THAT FADED -- AS STARK ENGAGED HIS
'OVERDRIVE GEAR' FLYING PAST BLUNNY AS IF HE WERE WALKING

STARK HAS SEPARATED HIMSELF BY A HUGE MARGIN OVER BLUNNY
AND NOW DUSTY WHO HAS GAINED GROUND ON THE TURN

IT'S ANOTHER SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO
POST TIME MIKE, PEEPTOAD AND THUNDER CAT

CATALINA ~ TIGER DANCER -&- RUFFIAN
MAKE UP THE TAIL END OF THE FIELD
SHOWING NO SPEED YET AT ALL

THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

STARK STILL IN COMMAND -- BUT
HE APPEARS TO BE GETTING A BIT LEG WEARY
AS THE OTHERS ARE GAINING GROUND ON THE COLT

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

STARK IS LOSING GROUND WITH EVERY STRIDE
AS THE CLOSERS ARE PICKING UP SPEED
AND GAINING ON THE LEADER QUICKLY

POST TIME MIKE SUDDENLY FOUND HIS INNER MOJO
AND DESIRE TO REPEAT HIS LAST WINNING EFFORT -
NOW PASSING BLUNNY -&- DUSTY

WITH ONLY STARK AHEAD OF HIM NOW,
POST TIME MIKE HAS TURNED INTO
ONE FREAKY FAST DETERMINED COLT!
A REPEAT VICTORY NOW WITHIN HIS GRASP

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A COLT MATCH RACE TO THE WIRE
POST TIME MIKE WITH A REPEAT WIN ON THE LINE
STARK ALL OUT TRYING TO HOLD ON

BUT JUST WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE A 2-HORSE RACE .....

DUSTY -&- TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY FIRING LIKE ROCKETS
MOVING JUST IN BEHIND STARK -&- POST TIME MIKE
GAINING ON THE TWO COLTS WITH INCREDIBLE TURN OF FOOT!

NOW THE 2 HORSE MATCH RACE HAS TURNED INTO A
FREAKY FAST FURIOUS FOURSOME IN A LINE ACROSS THE TRACK
POST TIME MIKE ~ STARK ~ DUSTY -&- TIGER DANCER

BUT SUDDENLY THE CROWD HAS GOTTEN EVEN LOUDER AND
UP ON THEIR FEET POINTING FINGERS TOWARD THE BACK OF
THE RUNNERS ~ SOMEONE IS CAUSING THIS COMMOTION....

NOW WE SEE WHO!
CATALINA -- FROM ANOTHER TIME ZONE -- IS FLYING LIKE PEGASUS
ON ''EQUINE UPPERS'' PASSING ALL WHO ARE IN HER WAY ~

SHE HAS FLOWN PAST BLUNNY ~ PEEPTOAD ~ TIGER DANCER
RIGHT ON PAST DUSTY AND STARK ~ WITH POST TIME MIKE
THE ONLY ONE LEFT IN FRONT OF THE FANTASTICALLY FAST FILLY

THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD!

CAN POST TIME MIKE HOLD ON JUST A LITTLE LONGER
TO GAIN THE GLORY OF A REPEAT VICTORY --
OR CAN THE FIERY FILLY HAVE ENOUGH LEFT IN THE TANK
TO STEAL THE RACE FROM THE CHAMP?

THE WIRE AND THE ANSWER CAME VERY QUICKLY

THE FIERCE FILLY INDEED -- HAS STOLEN THE GLORY
FLYING PAST THE DEFENDING CHAMP AS IF HE WERE JUST TROTTING ~
CROSSING THE FINISH LINE BY DAYLIGHT!
