**RESULTS**
O THE SUN IS SHINING SO BRIGHTLY
THERE'S NO SIGN OF RAIN OR OF WIND
THE HORSES NOW IN THE POST PARADE
AND SHORTLY THE RACE WILL BEGIN
ALTHOUGH WE'VE HAD 2 LATE SCRATCHES
CIGARSHOP + CATALINA AS WELL
NOW TEN WILL ENTER THE GATE TO RUN
BUT WHO WINS ----- NOBODY CAN TELL
THE RUNNERS ARE EVENLY MATCHED
NO CLEAR CUT FAVORITE WE SEE
THEY'RE ENTERING THE STARTING GATE NOW
JUST WAITING TO RUN WILD + FREE
BUT NOW CRIMINAL TYPE IS ACTING UP
HE CAN BE SUCH A REAL NAUGHTY BOY
SO HERE COMES THE PEPPERMINTS CREW
SOMETHING WE KNOW HE DOES SURELY ENJOY
SO FINALLY HE WALKS INTO THE GATE
THEN WE HEAR THE ANNOUNCER SAY ---
"EVERYONE IS STANDING NICELY ------
AND NOW THEY'RE ALL ON THEIR WAY"
LIKE A CHEETAH FAR OUT IN THE WILD
RUFFIAN LETS OUT A HUGE ROAR
REAL QUIET RUNS RIGHT UP THERE WITH HER
BLISTERING FRACTIONS NONE CAN IGNORE
THEN IT'S POST TIME MIKE + PEEPTOAD
WHO ARE NEXT --- BUT VERY FAR BACK
THE OTHER 6 ARE NO WHERE IN SIGHT
A RESEMBLANCE TO SPEED THEY ALL LACK
AND OUT OF THE TURN THEY EMERGE
WITH RUFFIAN NOW TURNING IT ON
SHE HAS LEFT THE FIELD IN HER WAKE
WHEN IN A FLASH SHE WAS JUST GONE!
REAL QUIET IS TRYING HIS BEST
TO KEEP UP WITH THE FIERY FILLY
BUT HIS SPEED + FRIVOLOUS ANTICS
ARE NOTHING MORE THAN JUST SILLY
AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH THINGS CHANGE
ALTHOUGH RUFFIAN REMAINS IN COMMAND
IT'S NOW TIGER DANCER LIKE LIGHTNING
WHO KNOW'S JUST WHERE SHE WILL LAND?
THE TIGER IS DANCING WITH POWER
HER SPEED IS RIDICULOUSLY FAST
SHE HAS PASSED THE REST OF THE HORSES
AND HAS DONE THAT COMING FROM LAST!
BEHIND THAT FRONT RUNNING DUO
REAL QUIET IS TRYING TO HOLD ON
CAUSE IF HE SHOULD GIVE UP THE CHALLENGE
THOSE TWO FIERY FILLYS WILL BE GONE!
BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING TRIO
POST TIME MIKE NOW GETTING HOT
THEN PEEPTOAD + HORSE CRAZY GAL
BUT HOT --- THESE FILLYS ARE NOT
DEFENDING CHAMP JOHN HENRY IS NEXT
THEN DUSTY -- CRIMINAL TYPE + BLUNNY
BUT NONE OF THESE 4 EVER FIRED
AND NONE WILL WIND UP WITH THE MONEY
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY ALL COME
BUT THE CHEETAH IS STARTING TO TIRE
TIGER DANCER STILL RUNNING ON STRONGLY
AND NOW POST TIME MIKE IS ON FIRE
REAL QUIET IS HOLDING ON GAMELY
SO APPEALING IS THAT BRIDESMAID GOWN
BUT POST TIME MIKE IS THE CHALLENGE
TO TURN RQ'S SMILE INTO A FROWN
THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD NOW
TIGER DANCER HAS TURNED UP THE HEAT
POOR RUFFIAN IS BACKING UP BADLY
WHO EVEN THOUGHT SHE'D BE BEAT?
SO NOW COMES THE QUESTION OF MONEY
WHO WILL TAKE SECOND AND THIRD?
POST TIME MIKE + REAL QUIET TOGETHER
OR WILL RUFFIAN'S NAME STILL BE HEARD?
IT'S ALL TIGER DANCER AT THE WIRE
OF THE WINNER THERE'S NOT EVEN A DOUBT
BUT THE PHOTO WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN
AND THEN WE ALL WILL FIND OUT
THE OBJECTION NUMBERS ARE FLASHING
FROM THE TWO COLTS & ALSO THE FILLY
BUT WHEN STEWARDS REVIEW THE REPLAY
DECLARE ALL OBJECTIONS JUST SILLY
SO NOW WE SEE HOW IT TURNED OUT
WHEN THE OBJECTIONS & REPLAY WERE DONE
POST TIME MIKE BEATS OUT REAL QUIET
SO NO BRIDESMAID GOWN RQ HAS WON
RUFFIAN WHO ROARED FROM THE BEGINNING
AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH THREW A SHOE
SO IT'S NOT REALLY VERY SURPRISING
THAT CAME THE WIRE -- THE FILLY WAS THRU
AND YET THERE IS ONE CONSOLATION
NO WIN BUT -- BUT ''THE PRECIOUS'' SHE GOT
SO PERHAPS AT LEAST GETTING SOMETHING
MAKES HER FANS STILL BELIEVE SHE IS HOT!
HERE'S THE COMPLETE ORDER OF FINISH
FROM FIRST TO THE END OF THE TRAIL
AT THE TOP IS THE GREAT TIGER DANCER
FROM THE DOG HOUSE WE HEAR CT WAIL
IF YOU THINK THAT THE TOTALS ARE WRONG
NOTIFY THE CAT IN CHARGE BY TONIGHT
SOMETIMES WE ALL HAVE ''BLONDE MOMENTS''
BUT IF SO, IT'S ALWAYS MADE RIGHT
