EBULLIENT & EFFICACIOUS @ EVANGELINE

SOME SAY OF THE ''RUFF ONE''
THAT "SHE'S A SMART CAT"
WITH HER CATITUDE AURA
AND A FEATHER IN HER HAT

AND WHEN IT COMES TO HORSES
SHE ROARS = ''SHOW EM THE HEAT''
WITH A ''VALID PURRRSUIT'' SHE TRIES
WITH A CHEETAH GUIDING HER FEET

BUT SOME DAYS THE CHEETAH SNOOZES
AND THEN SHE RUNS NOT FAST
ON A REALLY BAD RACING DAY
SHE CAN EVEN FINISH LAST!

GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME
TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM -&- BOTS DAY





OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY WILL BE:
THE COLORADO 4/20 "CATNIP" STAKES SPRINT



WE HAVE A FINE FIELD OF TEN -- AS 9 WILL BE CHALLENGING
DEFENDING CHAMPION -RUFFIAN- TO PREVENT A REPEAT WIN

THE HORSES ARE ALL STANDING QUIETLY AND READY TO RUN

THEY'RE OFF IN THE "COLORADO 4/20 CATNIP STAKES"




IT'S DEFENDING CHAMP RUFFIAN AWAY WITH A SHORT EARLY LEAD
AND QUICKLY JOINED BY DUSTY ~ BLUNNY ~ STARK -&- REAL QUIET
THESE 5 TAKE THE FIELD INTO THE TURN


OUT OF THE TURN THE COME





NOW IT'S CIGARSHOP IN THE LEAD
WITH DUSTY RIGHT AT HIS TAIL

IT'S JUST 2 LENGTHS BACK TO A TRIO OF
THUNDER CAT ~ BLUNNY -&- RUFFIAN

ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK ARE REAL QUIET -&- STARK

MOVING ALONG LIKE 3 SNAILS VERY FAR BACK ARE
CATALINA ~ EL PRADO ~ TIGER DANCER
WHO SO FAR ARE SHOWING NO SPEED OR INTEREST IN RUNNING!





THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH



THINGS HAVE DRAMATICALLY CHANGED:
CIGARSHOP SPOOKED AT SOMETHING IN THE INFIELD,
LOSING MOMENTUM, LOSING GROUND QUICKLY ~
LEAVING DUSTY ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD -- AND A BIG LEAD IT IS




RUFFIAN ~ CATALINA ~ THUNDER CAT -&- STARK ARE NEXT
BUT NOT CLOSE TO THE FRISKY FILLY IN THE LEAD WHO
SO FAR IS 'DUSTING' THE FIELD VERY CONVINCINGLY




IT'S A HUGE GAP TO THE REST OF THE FIELD ~




VERY FAR BACK WITH LITTLE TO NO CHANCE ARE:
CIGARSHOP ~ BLUNNY ~ REAL QUIET ~ TIGER DANCER ~ EL PRADO


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


DUSTY LEADING THE WAY SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN

SUDDENLY THERE IS A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD AS
EVERYONE IS UP ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES




WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS COMMOTION?

NOW I SEE WHAT IT IS ~
LIKE TWIN TORNADOES ACROSS THE OPEN PLAIN COME
TIGER DANCER -&- EL PRADO FROM THE VERY BACK OF THE PACK
AT LEAST 20 LENGTHS BACK ~
PASSING EVERYONE IN FRONT OF THEM, INCLUDING DUSTY!

~~



SUPER SONIC SPEED FRACTIONS IN THE FINAL FURLONGS
AS THESE TWO FILLYS ARE NOW ENGAGED IN A MATCH RACE
WITH TIGER DANCER'S NOSE JUST A FEW WHISKERS IN FRONT

DUSTY STILL RUNNING STRONGLY IS NEXT
WITH DEFENDING CHAMP RUFFIAN RIGHT THERE AT HER NECK

THESE 2 FILLYS ONLY RUNNING FOR 3rd / 4th PLACE MONEY
WITH NO CHANCE OF CATCHING THE FIEREY FILLYS IN FRONT

CATALINA -&- THUNDER CAT ARE NEXT WITHOUT A COLT IN SIGHT

THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES HAS PROVEN TO BE NO BATTLE AT ALL
**AS THE FRONT RUNNING 6 --> ARE ALL FREAKY FAST FILLYS ...




THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD

THE 2 FILLYS ARE NECK -&- NECK
TIGER DANCER -&- EL PRADO --- STRIDE FOR STRIDE

TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY DECIDES ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
TIME TO GET SERIOUS -- LEAVING EL PRADO IN HER MIGHTY WAKE
WITH A POWERFUL SUDDEN SURGE OF SPEED





NO DOUBT AT ALL OF THE WINNER AND NO PHOTO NEEDED
AS TIGER DANCER ROARS PAST THE LINE BY DAYLIGHT

EL PRADO WITH SUPER SPEED THAT ON ANY OTHER DAY
COULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY VICTORY, TODAY WAS NO
MATCH FOR A POWERFUL TIGER DANCER

FROM CAT HOUSE TO PENTHOUSE GOES THE DANCING TIGER
AS WE SEE ANOTHER ''YO-YO-MAMA!''
