Amongst Today's Wacky Holidays is ....
NATIONAL FROG JUMPING DAY

So, PeepToad decided to Hop on Down
And Cheer on today's Contenders

Today also Celebrates
WORLD COCKTAIL DAY
And Apparently 2 of today's Entrants
Celebrated this day quite heavily
They made their way to The Bar
Where the Bartender inquired ....
Why the Long Faces

They Stumbled back to their stalls
And proceeded to pass out
Thus Resulting in the Scratches Of:
ROAMIN and RQ

But Fear Not Race Fans
Defending Champ ~Catalina~ ... IS here
And she has 7 Enthusiastic Challengers
Ready to Run and Have some Fun in the Sun

THE EAGER ECLECTIC 8
ARE NOW HEADING TO THE GATE

AND THEY'RE OFF .....

The Gang is Off and Away
But Only Two are Setting the Pace
The Field playing Catch-Up for Now
Gonna be One Heck of a Race

In Tiger's Quirky Fashion
The order will not be First to Last
But instead will be Revealed
From the Slowest to the Fast
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

THE RESIDENT "SPEED-DEMON" .....
STUMBLED OUT OF THE GATE IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE
SHE DECIDED TO CELEBRATE WORLD COCKTAIL DAY
NOT WITH BOOZE ... BUT WITH HER PERSONAL STASH
OF MAUI--WOWIE - MEOWI--JUANA
THE LAZY CHEETAH
NEVER MADE IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
SHE FOLLOWED AN APPARITION OF A GOLDEN GOOSE
AND MEANDERED HER WAY INTO THE CAT-HOUSE
~RUFFIAN~ DNF ----> $0

NOT FARING MUCH BETTER .....
THESE 2 MUST HAVE GOTTEN INTO
RUFF'S SACRED STASH

Today is also National Crouton Day


Some of the Fans in the Infield
Really took this "Holiday" to Heart
They were throwing Croutons Everywhere
On to the Track and Up in the Air
Raven was so Mesmerized by these Tasty Treats
That His Flight Path got Diverted ....
He Swooped down following a trail of these bread crumbs
And just missed out on making it into The Top 4
... By a Buck $1.00

~RAVEN~ ===> $12.80
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

World Leprechaun Day


Our next 2 runners got quite distracted
When they heard it was Leprechaun Day
Instead of concentrating on the race
They were focused on following these little dudes
Hoping to find their Pot of Gold

While she did not find a Pot of Gold ...
She did manage to grasp The Golden Ring
4th ~TIGER DANCER~ ===> $13.80

Hopping just ahead of Tiger ... By $2.40
And a Few Gray Hares
No Gold .... But does catch the Bodacious Bouquet
3rd ~BLUNNY~ ===> $16.20
