GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO SUPURR SATURDAY
AT BELMONT PARK
TODAY IS NATIONAL RABBIT DAY SO THE QUESTION WILL BE:
WHO WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO HOP ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
CELEBRATING THIS HOLIDAY OUR FEATURE EVENT WILL BE
THE 'HOP-ALONG' STAKES
OF COURSE WITH JOCKEY SILKS REPRESENTING
CHEETAH, TIGER, RAVEN, BUNNY, CAT, SEMI, FEATHER DUSTER
THERE'S NO TELLING WHO MAY FLY, HOP, SOAR, ROAR TO VICTORY
WITH THE SCRATCHES OF CIGARSHOP ~ PEEPTOAD & EL PRADO
DEFENDING CHAMP, THUNDER CAT, WILL HAVE 9 CAPABLE CHALLENGERS TRYING TO PREVENT A REPEAT ROAR TO THE WIRE!
THE TENACIOUS TEN ARE IN THE GATE & READY TO RUN
AND THEY'RE OFF IN THE ''HOP-ALONG'' STAKES
IT'S A SPEEDY DUO OUT FOR AN EARLY LEAD
THE RAVEN FLYING HIGH & THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY HOPPING AWAY
THESE 2 WILL TAKE THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
BLUNNY DID NOT HANDLE THE TURN WELL AND IS DROPPING BACK
RAVEN CONTINUES TO SOAR, NOW JOINED BY DUSTY AS THESE
TWO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE REST OF THE FIELD
RUFFIAN LETTING HER INNER-CHEETAH OUT EARLY IS NEXT
JOINED BY THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY WHO REGAINED HIS MOMENTUM
IT'S ANOTHER 8 LENGTHS BACK TO TIGER DANCER & THUNDER CAT
WAY FAR BACK ARE ROAMIN, CRUZAN, POST TIME MIKE, CATALINA
WHO HAVE NOT FOUND THEIR BEST STRIDE YET
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
RAVEN CONTINUES TO FLY WELL AHEAD OF THE REST
BUT DUSTY IS STAYING RIGHT THERE WITH HIM
THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY IS HOPPING RIGHT ALONG
AND ROAMIN WHO FINALLY HIT HIGH GEAR SURGING FROM FAR BACK
CATALINA & POST TIME MIKE SUDDENLY AWAKENED
THEIR 'ENERGY GENES' & BOTH ARE MOVING UP QUICKLY
DEFENDING CHAMP, THUNDER CAT IS FINALLY MAKING HER
BEST MOVE TO TRY AND REPEAT HER ROARING VICTORY
RUFFIAN'S 'INNER-CHEETAH' DECIDED THAT RUNNING FAST
WAS NOT ON THE AGENDA TODAY, AND IS LAGGING BEHIND
TIGER DANCER IS EVEN FARTHER BACK
FOLLOWED BY A LETHARGIC CLODDISH CRUZAN WHO SEEMS
DEFINITELY DETERMINED TO GET THE 2019 DOG HOUSE KEY!
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
RAVEN FLYING HIGH CONTINUES TO SHOW THE WAY
DUSTY IS NOT LETTING HIM GET AWAY
THESE 2 ARE NECK & NECK ~ STRIDE FOR STRIDE
SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES
UP THE RAIL IT IS DEFENDING CHAMP, THUNDER CAT, WITH A ROAR
OF HER OWN PASSING EVERYONE STANDING IN HER WAY OF A
REPEAT WIN ~ WITH ONLY THE RAVEN FLYING IN FRONT OF HER NOW
BUT THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD
CAN THE SOARING RAVEN HOLD ON OR WILL THE WINGS TIRE?
WILL IT BE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THE THUNDERING CAT!
THE ANSWER TO BOTH QUESTIONS CAME QUICKLY WITH A
VERY NECESSARY PHOTO TO DETERMINE THE OUTCOME!
THIS MAY EVEN BE A DEAD HEAT! IT'S THAT CLOSE!
A CAT WHISKER OR A RAVEN WING WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
3 OBJECTION LIGHTS ARE FLASHING
3 TRAINERS RUSHING OUT ONTO THE TRACK
3 JOCKEYS ON THE PHONES
STEWARDS TAKING A VERY LONG TIME REVIEWING THE REPLAY
THE CROWD IS GETTING RESTLESS AND LOUD
HIGH TONED FEMALE VOICES SCREECHING FOR THUNDER CAT
LOWER TONED MALE SHOUTING FOR THE RAVEN
FINALLY! THE LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED FLASHING!
HIGH TONED SQUEALS OF DELIGHT
LOWER TONED GROANS OF DISAPPOINTMENT
*CLOSEST FINISH OF THE YEAR!*
THUNDER CAT BY THE SLIMMEST OF WHISKERS HAS WON A REPEAT
RAVEN WHO FLEW FURIOUSLY, FAST & FIRST FROM THE GATE IS 2nd
DUSTY JUST MISSING OUT ON THE BRIDESMAID TROPHY
