TODAY WE ARE AT MONMOUTH PARK
OUR FEATURE EVENT WELCOMES IN THE GEMINI ZODIAC SIGN
{SIGN OF: COMMUNICATION / THE MIND / DISTORTED HUMOR!}
AND IRONICALLY, THE DEFENDING CHAMP ~ RUFFIAN ~ IS A GEMINI
PERHAPS A LUCKY OMEN FOR THE FEISTY FILLY TODAY?
AFTER ALL: GEMINI IS A 'DOUBLE' SIGN SUGGESTING DOUBLE VICTORY
WITH THE SCRATCHES OF: CIGARSHOP / REAL QUIET & CATALINA
DEFENDING CHAMP, RUFFIAN, WILL HAVE 9 CAPABLE CHALLENGERS
TRYING TO PREVENT 'THE CHEETAH' FROM RUNNING WILD AGAIN!
THE ''GLEEFUL GEMINI'' STAKES
THE TALENTED TEN ARE IN THE GATE READY TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 'GLEEFUL GEMINI'
O NO! DEFENDING CHAMP, RUFFIAN ~ WAS LEFT AT THE GATE
WAS THERE A MALFUNCTION WITH IT OPENING?
IT IS PEEPTOAD OUT FOR AN EARLY LEAD
TAKING THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
PEEPTOAD DID NOT HANDLE THE TURN WELL AT ALL
SHYING AWAY FROM SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE INFIELD,
LOSING HER EARLY MOMENTUM AND THE LEAD
IT IS NOW ''THE CHEETAH'' RUNNING WILD AS ONLY A CHEETAH CAN!
RUFFIAN, AFTER BEING LEFT AT THE GATE, SUDDENLY LET HER
'INNER CHEETAH' KNOW = ''THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE: LET'S GO!''
AND APPARENTLY, IT WORKED AS THE DEFENDING CHAMP IS
ALREADY 23 LENGTHS AHEAD OF THE FIELD WHO NOW ARE
RUNNING A 'CAT-ME-IF-U-CAN' MARATHON TO THE WIRE!
IT IS EL PRADO NOW WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF CATCHING
THE RUNAWAY RUFFIAN AT THE FRONT ~
EL PRADO SHOWING SUPURB SPEED AND ENERGY ~
BUT STILL A LONG WAY BACK
ANOTHER HUGE GAP BACK TO
THUNDER CAT ~ POST TIME MIKE ~ PEEPTOAD & DUSTY
IT'S ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK TO BLUNNY & TIGER DANCER
AND MEANDERING ALONG FAR FAR BACK ARE ROAMIN & CRUZAN
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
THE 'CAPRICIOUS-CHEETAH' IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE RACE
AS RUFFIAN IS ON HER WAY TO A REPEAT RAUCUS ROAR OF VICTORY
DUSTY IS STARTING TO SHOW SUDDEN SPEED & ENERGY TAKING
OVER THE 'RUNNER-UP-ROLE' AS EL PRADO JUMPED A SHADOW
LOSING ALL HER EARLIER MOMENTUM, AND BACKING UP BADLY
PEEPTOAD ALSO WITH A RENEWED ROBUST SURGE OF SPEED
HAS JOINED DUSTY & EL PRADO AS THESE 3 FILLYS ARE IN
THEIR OWN CONTENTIOUS CHALLENGE FOR A BRIDESMAID GOWN
THUNDER CAT IS NEXT WITH NARY A COLT TO BE SEEN!
THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' APPARENTLY LEAVING HIS BATTERY-PACK
BACK AT THE BARN, IS NEXT
IT'S OPEN DAYLIGHT BACK TO
POST TIME MIKE ~ ROAMIN + TIGER DANCER
SHUFFLING ALONG TO HIS OWN TANTALIZING TUNE ~ IS CRUZAN
APPARENTLY IN NO HURRY AND EQUALLY DETERMINED
TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE DOG HOUSE KEY - AGAIN!
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
IT IS 9 TENUOUS TAIL CHASERS TRYING TO CATCH A RUNAWAY
FIERCELY FAST FILLY FLAUNTING HER 'CHEETAH-POWER'
NOBODY IS EVEN CLOSE ENOUGH TO 'CATCH-THE-CAT-IF-U-CAN'
GAME THAT RUFFIAN HAS BEEN PLAYING ALL ALONG
DUSTY WITH ANOTHER SURGE OF SPEED HAS ASSURED HER
BRIDESMAID PLACING AS EL PRADO REGAINING COMPOSURE
IS NEXT FOLLOWED BY PEEPTOAD
THUNDER CAT STILL WITH A POSSIBLE CHANCE OF 'THE PRECIOUS'
IS NEXT WITH A HALF-CHARGED-ENERGIZER-BLUNNY ON HER TAIL
IT'S ANOTHER 20 LENGTHS BACK TO POST TIME MIKE ~ ROAMIN
AND TIGER DANCER AS CRUZAN CONTINUES MOSEYING ALONG
AT THE FINISH LINE IT'S A FEARLESS FLAMBOYANT FILLY
ALL ALONE AT THE WIRE BY 33 LACHRYMATORY LENGTHS!
THERE IS NO CATCHING A RUNAWAY 'CHEETAH'
ONCE THE GAME IS A-FOOT
DUSTY SO FAR BACK BUT EASILY THE 'BRIDESMAID OF THE DAY'
EL PRADO, IN SPITE OF AN EARLIER MISHAP, SPOOKING AT SHADOWS
REGAINS HER DETERMINATION TO CATCH THE BODACIOUS BOUQUET
PEEPTOAD STRONG EFFORT FROM THE GATE,
HOLDS ON TO STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS'
