GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO
SUPURRR~SATURDAY AT THE FAIR GROUNDS
WE HAVE A FINE FIELD OF 13 READY TO RUN
IN OUR FEATURED EVENT OF THE DAY
INCLUDED IN THE 13 RUNNERS WE HAVE.....
OUR 2 CURRENT CO-HOTY WINNERS
AS WELL AS A FORMER HOTY
PLUS A MAIDEN TO RUN AGAINST THE CHAMPIONS
THE HORSES HAVE ALL LOADED NICELY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
PEEPTOAD WHO IS BEING A VERY FUSSY FILLY
WITH A FEW PEPPERMINTS SHE NOW HAS AGREED TO GO IN TO HER GATE
FINALLY WE ARE NOW READY TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO
LIKE TWIN LIGHTNING BOLTS 2 COLTS HAVE LEFT THE FIELD
WONDERING IF THERE WERE A MALFUNCTION WITH THE GATE
AS THE 2 HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE FIELD BY A HUGE DISTANCE
STARK -- THE MAIDEN, & JOHN HENRY
HAVE TAKEN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE RACE IN THE EARLY GOING
COMING OUT OF THE TURN WE HEAR A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD
AS TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY WITH A ROAR OF HER OWN
HAS CAUGHT UP TO THE TWO COLTS
AND NOT WISHING TO BE OUT-RUN
RUFFIAN HAS RESPONDED WITH A CHEETAH "ROAR"
& IS TUCKED IN JUST BEHIND THE THREE FRONT RUNNERS
THESE 4 HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE REST
AS THE OTHERS ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP
IT'S MANY LENGTHS BACK TO
REAL QUIET & POST TIME MIKE
RUNNING ANOTHER SEVERAL LENGTHS BEHIND THOSE 2 COLTS ARE
... CATALINA - CRIMINAL TYPE - OAKLAWN CAPPER & BLUNNY
EVEN FARTHER BACK TRAILING THE FIELD BY 20 LENGTHS
CIGARSHOP ... DUSTY & PEEPTOAD
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
STARK HAS TAKEN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE LEAD ALONE
TIGER DANCER IS NEXT WITH JOHN HENRY RIGHT AT HER TAIL
BLUNNY IS PICKING UP SPEED AND GAINING ON THE FRONT RUNNERS
AND NOW REAL QUIET HAS HIT HIS BEST STRIDE
OAKLAWN CAPPER IS TUCKED IN BEHIND REAL QUIET
IT'S A LONG WAY BACK TO POST TIME MIKE FOLLOWED BY
CATALINA ---CRIMINAL TYPE & DUSTY
TRAILING THE FIELD AS IF THEY ARE RUNNING IN A SEPARATE RACE
ARE CIGARSHOP & PEEPTOAD ----
BOTH OF WHOM SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING WITH THE TRACK SURFACE
AND NOT GAINING ANY GROUND
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
STARK IN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE RACE WITH SUCH A BIG LEAD
THAT THE OTHERS WOULD HAVE TO SPROUT WINGS TO CATCH HIM
THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES
FOR THE MAIDEN RUNNING LIKE A CHAMPION
TIGER DANCER AND JOHN HENRY ARE ENGAGED IN A BATTLE OF THEIR OWN
ONLY A WHISKER SEPARATES THESE TWO
BEHIND THAT TRIO ARE BLUNNY & RUFFIAN WHO ARE ALL OUT
BUT NOT GAINING ANY GROUND ON THE LEADERS
THERE WILL BE NO PHOTO FINISH FOR 1st TODAY
AS STARK IS A DECISIVE WINNER BY DAYLIGHT
THE PHOTO FINISH WILL BE FOR 2nd & 3rd
