TWISTED WITTY KITTY
THE HORSES ARE ALL STANDING QUIETLY JUST WAITING FOR RUFFIAN
TO DECIDE TO STOP HER SHENANIGANS AND GET HER LIL TAIL IN THE GATE

IS CONVINCED TO ENTER HER GATE
NOW WE ARE READY TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO
LIKE A ROCKET TO THE MOON .... EL PRADO HAS FIRED A SHOT HEARD
ROUND THE TRACK AS SHE HAS LEFT THE FIELD IN HER MIGHTY WAKE
IT'S A TRIO OF FILLIES RUNNING NEXT
PEEPTOAD ~ CATALINA ~ GOTADUN=QH
-------- ABOUT 15 LENGTHS BACK
WATCHING EL PRADO'S TAIL DISAPPEAR ROUND THE TURN
ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK ARE TIGER DANCER & DUSTY
CONTENT TO TAKE IT EASY IN THE EARLY GOING
IT'S SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK TO A COLT TRIO OF
CRIMINAL TYPE ~ JOHN HENRY ~ CIGARSHOP
AND WAY BACK IS RUFFIAN WHO STALLED EXITING HER GATE
APPARENTLY DISTRACTED BY SOMETHING IN THE INFIELD
SHE IS AT LEAST 30 LENGTHS BEHIND THE FIELD
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
AND NOW THE CROWD IS UP ON THEIR FEET WITH A SUDDEN
SURGE OF SCREAMING AS WITHOUT WARNING ...... 3 FILLIES
HAVE SPROUTED WINGS AND ARE PASSING EVERYONE IN
FRONT OF THEM
GOTADUN-QH ~ TIGER DANCER FROM MID-PACK
AND RUFFIAN FROM ANOTHER TIME ZONE ROARING AS
SHE LETS LOOSE HER INNER CHEETAH
THESE 3 FILLIES ON THE MOVE LIKE A TORNADO
GOTADUN-QH NOW IN COMMAND OF THE LEAD
TIGER DANCER JUST OFF OF HER TAIL
RUFFIAN RIGHT THERE
EL PRADO WHO SEEMS TO HAVE THROWN A SHOE ON THE TURN
------ LOSING ALL MOMENTUM AND FADING FAST
BUT HOLD ON FOLKS......
SOMEONE ELSE IS FLYING UP THE RAIL NOW
IT'S ................... DUSTY
SHE HAS CAUGHT UP TO TIGER DANCER
THESE 2 FILLIES RUNNING STRIDE FOR STRIDE
PICKING UP HIS SPEED NOW IS KD WHO WAS FAIRLY QUIET IN THE
EARLY GOING....
NOW HE HAS MOVED UP IN FRONT OF EL PRADO
JUST TUCKED IN BEHIND TIGER DANCER & DUSTY
RUFFIAN JUMPED A SHADOW AND IS LOSING GROUND

GAINING QUICKLY ON THE LEADERS

GOTADUN-QH ~ WITH A SHORT LEAD
DUSTY & TIGER DANCER JUST OFF OF HER TAIL ARE NEXT
KD & EL PRADO JUST A LENGTH OFF THE LEADERS
RUFFIAN REGAINING HER ENERGY IS NEXT
BUT SUDDENLY NOW THE CROWD HAS EXPLODED INTO A FRENZY
THE SCREAMS ARE DEAFENING......
I CAN HARDLY HEAR MY OWN VOICE OVER THE LOUD SPEAKERS
WHAT CAN BE CAUSING THIS INCREDIBLE REACTION?
I CAN SEE SOMEONE MOVING LIKE LIGHTNING FROM THE BACK
ALONG THE RAIL BUT TOO HARD TO SEE EXACTLY WHO IT IS......
AND NOW IT IS CLEAR WHO IS THE CAUSE OF THE EXCITEMENT
IT IS PEEPTOAD -~ FROM BEYOND THE CLOUDS WHO HAS PASSED
EVERYONE AS IF THEY WERE STANDING STILL ~
SHE HAS PASSED EVERYONE EXCEPT GOTADUN-QH WHO IS ALL THAT
SEPARATES THIS FIERCE FILLY FROM GLORY
AND NOW SHE HAS COLLARED THE LEADER
THESE TWO LOCKED IN A MATCH RACE OF SUPER SONIC SPEED
CAN THE FAST FLYING GDQH HOLD ON
CAN THE POWERFUL DETERMINED PEEPTOAD PUT NOSE TO WIRE FIRST
