GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM
TODAY WE ARE IN THE KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS AT TURFWAY PARK
DEFENDING CHAMP, CRUZAN, WILL HAVE 7 SERIOUS CHALLENGERS
TRYING TO PREVENT A REPEAT 'CRUSIN' TO THE WIRE VICTORY
THE EBULLIENT ELEVEN ARE IN THE GATE EAGER TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO!
IT'S A FRISKY FOURSOME OUT FOR A SHORT EARLY LEAD
BLUNNY ~ ROAMIN ~ THUNDER CAT & BRI
THAT LEAD LASTED BUT A MOMENT AS SUDDENLY IT IS
CRUZAN CRUISIN' ON BY AT LIGHTNING BOLT SPEED!
HEADING INTO THE TURN BY 15 LENGTHS OVER THE REST!
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
IT IS NOW THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY WHO MANAGED TO ENGAGE
HIS HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY PASSING THE FRONT RUNNING COLT
AND TAKING COMMAND OF THE LEAD
CRUZAN IS JUST A LENGTH BACK
FOLLOWED BY ROAMIN
THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE FAR BACK
NOT YET FINDING THEIR BEST MOJO
BUT ANYTHING CAN & OFTEN DOES HAPPEN!
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
BLUNNY & CRUZAN LEAD THE WAY
SUDDENLY A HUGE OUTCRY FROM THE STANDS AS ALL EYES
ARE LOOKING TOWARDS THE VERY BACK OF THE FIELD
RUFFIAN HAS TURNED HER 'INNER-CHEETAH' LOOSE
ROARING UP THE RAIL ~ PASSING ALL IN HER WAY
AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT ~ TAKING OVER COMMAND OF THE LEAD!
FROM DEAD LAST TO FIRST IN A 'WINX' OF AN EYE
NO WONDER THEY CALL THE CHEETAH
THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL
THE ENERGIZER BLUNNY IS RIGHT THERE AT RUFFIAN'S TAIL
FOLLOWED BY CRUZAN WHO IS NOT THRU YET!
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
RUFFIAN REMAINS RAMBUNCTIOUS IN THE LEAD
BUT SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING IT IS CRUZAN
WITH AN AMAZING SUPERSONIC SURGE OF SPEED & POWER
ABSOLUTELY FLYING AS IF HE SPROUTED WINGS,
PASSING RUFFIAN AS IF SHE WERE OUT FOR A MORNING WALK
THE CAPRICIOUS COLT HAS TOTALLY OVERPOWERED THE FIELD
WITH A SHOCKING DISPLAY OF SUPERIORITY, HEADING TO THE
WIRE FOR A REPEAT RUN OF VICTORY
IT WOULD TAKE ZENYATTA TO CATCH THIS CONFIDENT COLT NOW!
AND WE DO NOT SEE A ZENYATTA-IMPERSONATOR YET!
AT THE WIRE IT IS ALL DEFENDING CHAMP, CRUZAN, BY DAYLIGHT
AND A LOT OF IT ~ 30 LENGTHS AT LEAST!
RUFFIAN & HER CHEETAH IN 2nd
