GOOD EVENING & WELCOME TO SUPURR SATURDAY
WE ARE AT CHURCHILL DOWNS, WITH OUR FEATURE EVENT
THE '' RUFFZILLA-BIRTHDAY-BASH'' STAKES
THE MOST PURRRFECT BIRTHDAY GIFT WOULD BE A 3-PEAT
FOR DEFENDING CHAMP, THE 'RUFFZILLA' HERSELF = RUFFIAN
BUT THE BATTLE MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR THE FEISTY FILLY
WITH 10 CAPABLE CALCULATING CHALLENGERS
TRYING TO RAIN ON HER 3-PEAT PARADE!
THE EBULLIENT ELEVEN ARE IN THE GATE
AND THEY'RE OFF IN THE 'RUFFZILLE-BIRTHDAY-BASH' STAKES
'LEAPING' TO A GIGANTICUS LEAD IS PEEPTOAD
TAKING THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
AT THE FRONT OF THE PACK IT IS A FEARSOME FILLY FOURSOME!
PEEPTOAD ~ TIGER DANCER ~ THUNDER CAT + RUFFIAN
11 LENGTHS BACK ARE DUSTY ~ EL PRADO & CIGARSHOP
THIS TRIO IS FOLLOWED BY CRUZAN, POST TIME MIKE & BLUNNY
AND THE EARLY TRAILER IS ROAMIN WHO IS ROAMIN ALL OVER THE FIELD ZIG ZAGGING ALONG AS IF HE HAS A BUR UNDER HIS SADDLE
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
PEEPTOAD HAS ''LEAPED'' INTO ANOTHER HUGE LEAD LEAVING
THE REST OF THE FIELD TRYING TO CATCH HER!
THE TENACIOUS TEN ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO CATCH
THE RUNAWAY FILLY AT THE FRONT
IT'S A HUGE GAP OF 13 LENGTHS BACK TO
DUSTY ~ CRUZAN ~ POST TIME MIKE ~ EL PRADO ~
THUNDER CAT ~ BLUNNY ~ TIGER DANCER ~ ROAMIN
AND NOW THE LAST ONE LANGUISHING AT THE BACK IS
CIGARSHOP WHO STARTED OFF OK BUT JUMPED A SHADOW
COMING OUT OF THE TURN ~ LOSING ALL MOMENTUM
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
FROM THE START, THIS RACE HAS BELONGED TO PEEPTOAD
LEAPING AWAY FROM THE REST WHEN HER GATE OPENED
WITH A FIERCE, FLAWLESS, PEEPTOAD PERSEVERANCE
SHE HAS PUT ON AN IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE FROM THEN
LEADING THE CHASE TO THE WIRE
WITH A FURLONG TO GO ~ THE CROWD SUDDENLY IS ON THEIR FEET
A HUGE ROAR HAS ERUPTED AS DEFENDING CHAMP, RUFFIAN, IS
ON THE MOVE AND GAINING GROUND WITH EVERY STRIDE TRYING
TO RUN INTO THE HISTORY BOOK WITH A 3-PEAT VICTORY
BUT IS IT GONNA BE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE AS THE WIRE LOOMS AHEAD
IS IT JUST TOO MUCH GROUND TO MAKE UP TOO QUICKLY?
THE ANSWER IS A DEFINITELY YES!
WE CAN HEAR SOUNDS OF SADNESS FROM THE CROWD FROM
THOSE CHEERING ON THE DEFENDING CHAMP, RUNNING TO
POSSIBLE 3-PEAT GLORY IN HER OWN 'BIRTHDAY BASH' STAKES
BUT HER DESTINY WAS NOT TO BE
PEEPTOAD LEAPING EASILY INTO A MUCH DESERVED VICTORY
RUFFIAN TAKES THE BRIDESMAID TROPHY & A "FROSTED WHISKER"
THE CONSOLATION AWARD GIVEN FOR A FAILED 3-PEAT ATTEMPT
DUSTY CLOSES WITH A FURY, CATCHING THE BODACIOUS BOUQUET
CRUZAN JUST WHISKERS OUT POST TIME MIKE FOR 'THE PRECIOUS'
$$$ OFFICIAL ORDER OF FINISH $$$
