**RESULTS**



GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME TO
SUPURRR~SATURDAY AT BELMONT




OUR FEATURE EVENT:
THE ''TOO HOT TO TROT'' STAKES




WITH THE SCRATCH OF REAL QUIET,
WE HAVE 10 CHALLENGERS BRINGING THE HEAT
TRYING TO PREVENT A CATALINA VICTORY REPEAT

THE HORSES ARE STANDING QUIETLY
AND WE ARE READY TO RUN

AND AWAAAAAAAAY THEY GO -- IN THE ''TOO HOT TO TROT'' STAKES




EVERYONE AWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT ~
AS BLUNNY -&- RUFFIAN
HAVE TAKEN A SHORT LEAD HEADING TO THE TURN

IN A TWINKLING OF AN EYE,
DUSTY -&- STARK HAVE GONE RIGHT ON BY THAT DUO
TO TAKE COMMAND OF THE LEAD -- WHICH IS SHORT LIVED
AS EL PRADO -&- TIGER DANCER HAVE CAUGHT UP
TO MAKE IT A FRISKY~FEISTY~FOURSOME LEADING THE WAY



BLUNNY HAS REGAINED HIS MOMENTUM
AND NOW JOINS THE FEARSOME FOUR AT THE FRONT

PEEPTOAD IS BEGINNING TO FIND HER BEST STRIDE, MOVING UP NOW




RUFFIAN IS NEXT, FOLLOWED BY CATALINA -&- CIGARSHOP
AS POST TIME MIKE -&- THUNDER CAT TRAIL THE FIELD


OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME


DUSTY LEADS THE WAY -- WITH STARK RIGHT AT HER TAIL

EL PRADO IS NEXT ABOUT 5 LENGTHS BEHIND THAT DUO
JUST AHEAD OF TIGER DANCER ~ BLUNNY -&- PEEPTOAD

THE REST HAVE A LOT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP!


THEY'VE REACHED THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


DUSTY IS TURNING UP THE HEAT
SEPARATING HERSELF FROM STARK --
WHO IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF TIRING
AFTER SETTING BLISTERING EARLY FRACTIONS

BLUNNY HAS RE-CHARGED HIS BATTERIES
HOPPING RIGHT ON BY EL PRADO
AND NOW IS JUST A HALF LENGTH BEHIND STARK




AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


DUSTY CONTINUES TO INCREASE HER LEAD
SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN
AS STARK IS DETERMINED TO NOT LET THE
FIERCE FILLY GET AWAY AND NOW HAS FOUND ANOTHER GEAR
CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN HIMSELF -&- THE FAST FILLY IN FRONT

BLUNNY STILL IN WITH A CHANCE, STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP

EL PRADO LOOKING LEG WEARY NOW IS
JUST AHEAD OF PEEPTOAD AND TIGER DANCER

POST TIME MIKE, THUNDER CAT, RUFFIAN -&- CATALINA ARE
TOTALLY OUT OF CONTENTION FOR ANY MONEY
AS CIGARSHOP TRAILS THE FIELD SHOWING NO SPEED AT ALL




DUSTY IS ALL OUT, WITH STARK-THE-SHARK RIGHT AT HER TAIL

THE CROWD IS GOING WILD -- AS IT LOOKS LIKE
WE MAY EVEN SEE A DEAD HEAT AT THE WIRE
AS STARK CLOSES THE GAP

BUT SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS NOT LOOKING
AT THE DUO IN THE LEAD -- BUT THE OTHER DIRECTION
BECAUSE SOMEONE IS FLYING UP THE RAIL LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT!




IT'S TIGER DANCER -- WHO HAS RELEASED HER 'INNER JUNGLE CAT'
CLAWING HER WAY PAST ALL IN HER PATH AND NOW HAS JOINED
THE DYNAMIC DUO ON THE LEAD TURNING A 2-HORSE MATCH RACE
INTO A TENACIOUS TRIO TO THE WIRE!




COULD WE EVEN SEE A RARE 3-WAY DEAD HEAT IN THE RECORD BOOK?

THE ANSWER TO THAT POSSIBILITY CAME VERY QUICKLY
AS THE TIGER DANCED RIGHT ON BY DUSTY
TO PUT HER WILD WHISKERS ON THE WIRE FIRST!




DUSTY -&- STARK BOTH SEEM TO LOOK A BIT SHELL-SHOCKED
AS THE FIERCE FEROCIOUS FILLY FLEW ON BY!

LATELY IT SEEMS LIKE TIGER DANCER HAS BEEN CHANNELLING
THE GREAT ZENYATTA WITH SHOCKING CLOSING RUNS THAT WIN
