JOHN HENRY HAS DROPPED BACK AND RUNNING JUST IN FRONT
OF RUFFIAN WHO IS NOT FIRING AT ALL TODAY

===== THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH =====


BLUNNY SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO MOVE UP RIGHT IN BEHIND DUSTY
AS TIGER DANCER SPOOKED AT SOMETHING IN THE INFIELD
AND LOST HER MOMENTUM BADLY LOSING GROUND WITH EVERY STRIDE

BUT HOLD ON FOLKS.....

SUDDENLY JOHN HENRY WOKE UP REALIZING THE FIELD WAS GETTING
AWAY IN THE DISTANCE AND CALLED ON HIS INNER MOJO TO FIRE
--- AND FIRE HE HAS!

THE COLT IS PASSING ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND IS NOW JUST OFF
OF DUSTY'S TAIL AT THE FRONT

BLUNNY ALSO IS PICKING UP THE PACE NOW

CIGARSHOP STAYING RIGHT WITH THE LEADERS

PULL AWAY FROM JOHN HENRY ---
TAKING FULL COMMAND OF THE LEAD
