**RESULTS**




GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME
TO SUPURRR SATURDAY AT DELIGHTFUL DEL MAR
WHERE THE ''SURF -&- TURF'' REFERENCE
SOUNDS MORE LIKE AN ENTREE AT RED LOBSTER!





SO IN KEEPING WITH THAT QUIRKY REVELATION ~
OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY WILL BE: THE 'RED LOBSTER' STAKES




DUE TO LATE SCRATCHES OF: CIGARSHOP ~ RAVEN ~ CRUZAN
DEFENDING CHAMP, THUNDER CAT WILL HAVE 8 CHALLENGERS
TO TRY AND PREVENT A REPEAT VICTORY GALLOP

THE HORSES ARE ALL STANDING QUIETLY IN THE GATE

AND AWAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE INAUGURAL RUNNING OF
~ THE RED LOBSTER STAKES ~




LIKE TWIN LOBSTERS SWIMMING AWAY FROM THE FISHERMEN'S NETS
AT BREAK-FIN SPEED ~ DUSTY -&- PEEPTOAD
LEAVE THE REST IN THEIR WAKE
AS TOGETHER THEY TAKE A COMMANDING LEAD
HEADING INTO THE TURN



OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME


PEEPTOAD WITH A SMALL NOSE IN FRONT OF DUSTY LEAD THE WAY
REAL QUIET -&- CATALINA NOW BEGINNING TO SHOW SPEED
ARE JUST 3 LENGTHS BEHIND THE FRONT RUNNING FILLY DUO

IT'S AT LEAST 13 LENGTHS BACK TO:
POST TIME MIKE ~ THUNDER CAT ~ BLUNNY ~
FOLLOWED BY: TIGER DANCER AND RUFFIAN
WHO ARE SHOWING NO SIGNS OF ''BIG CAT'' ENERGY OR SPEED YET



THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH


THE FILLYS IN FRONT NOW HAVE TRADED PLACES
AS CATALINA HAS TAKEN COMMAND OF THE LEAD
OVER PEEPTOAD BY A LENGTH

DUSTY SPOOKED AT SOMETHING SHE SAW IN THE INFIELD AND
IS BACKING UP BADLY AFTER SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE START




SUDDENLY A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD
AS RUFFIAN HAS LET HER 'INNER CHEETAH' COME OUT
TO RUN AT THE SAME TIME -- AS TIGER DANCER
WITH A ROAR OF HER OWN JOINS RUFFIAN




NOW WE FINALLY SEE THE 'REAL MEANING' OF BIG-CAT-DIARY
THE FELINE DUO OF 'THE CHEETAH' (Ruffian) -&- THE TIGER
ARE ONLY A LENGTH BEHIND PEEPTOAD AND CATALINA

IT'S A FEW LENGTHS BACK TO THUNDER CAT
WHO NOW HAS FOUND HER BEST ENERGY
MOVING UP QUICKLY GAINING GROUND WITH EVERY STRIDE




REAL QUIET IS ANOTHER 2 LENGTHS BACK NOW JOINED BY
BLUNNY WHOSE 'ENERGIZER BATTERY' SEEMS TO BE LOW TODAY




SNAILING THE FIELD ARE DUSTY -&- POST TIME MIKE



DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME


CATALINA LEADS THE WAY BUT SHOWING SIGNS OF TIRING




DEFENDING CHAMP -- THUNDER CAT, PASSING A LEG WEARY PEEPTOAD ~
NOW HAS MOVED UP INTO CONTENTION WITH A CHANCE TO REPEAT

TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY LOST ALL FOCUS
AS A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS FLEW RIGHT OVER HER HEAD
CAUSING THE FILLY TO ALMOST STOP
TURNING A HUGE CLOSING RUN INTO A REVERSE RETREAT!

~~~


THE WIRE LOOMS JUST AHEAD AS CATALINA GLANCES BACK OVER
HER SHOULDER TO SEE HOW CLOSE THUNDER CAT IS GETTING
WHEN SUDDENLY ANOTHER RAUCOUS ROAR FROM THE CROWD
HAS EVERYONE UP ON THEIR FEET!

THIS TIME ~ ONCE AGAIN ~ THERE'S A 'CHEETAH' ON THE LOOSE
AS RUFFIAN REMINDS HER FANS WHY THE CHEETAH IS THE FASTEST
LAND ANIMAL ON EARTH ~ & HOW SHE EARNED THAT NICKNAME!




THE FIERCE FILLY ON FIRE PASSES PEEPTOAD ~
PASSES THUNDER-CAT AND NOW ~ YES INDEED ~
SHE HAS PASSED CATALINA
TAKING THE LEAD AND THE VICTORY AT THE WIRE!




SO THE "RED LOBSTER STAKES" IS TAKEN BY
A CHEETAH ~ A CAT-ALINA ~ A THUNDER CAT -&- A PEEPTOAD!

3 FRISKY FELINES -&- A TOAD WALK INTO A BAR .....
THE BARTENDER ASKS: HAVE U COME VERY FAR?
THEY REPLIED ~ ''NOT FAR - BUT JUST VERY FAST
AND THE COLTS BEHIND US WE LEFT IN THE PAST!''




**PURRRR RUFF'S REQUEST -- THE PENTHOUSE HAS
