GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO SUPURR SATURDAY
TODAY WE ARE IN THE BLUE GRASS OF KENTUCKY
AT KENTUCKY DOWNS FOR A RARE TREAT ALL-TURF-DAY
CELEBRATING THE TURF FESTIVAL OUR FEATURE EVENT IS
THE ''GRASSY-HIGH'' STAKES
UNFORTUNATELY, DEFENDING CHAMP, RAVEN IS A NO SHOW
WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION FROM HIS TRAINER
EL PRADO IS STILL AWAY ON R+R BUT HOPES TO RETURN SOON
PEEPTOAD ON TEMPORARY R+R
THE TALENTED TEN ARE IN THE GATE READY TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 'GRASSY-HIGH' STAKES
OUT FOR A SPEEDY EARLY LEAD ARE THUNDER CAT & POST TIME MIKE
FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY'
THE REMAINING 7 ARE SLOW TO START
THIS TRIO WILL TAKE THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
THINGS HAVE QUICKLY & DRAMATICALLY CHANGED!
THE ENERGIZER BLUNNY APPARENTLY RUNNING ON A HIGHLY
CHARGED BATTERY TODAY HAS TAKEN OVER TOTAL COMMAND
OF THE LEAD BY 13 LENGTHS!
POST TIME MIKE, TIGER DANCER, CRUZAN & RUFFIAN ARE NEXT
THUNDER CAT FAILING TO HANDLE THE TURN WELL
HAS DROPPED FAR BACK
CIGARSHOP AND DUSTY ARE A FEW LENGTHS BEHIND THAT FILLY
AS ROAMIN & CATALINA ARE THE EARLY TRAILERS
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
BLUNNY CONTINUES TO 'HOP ALONG' WITH SUPERSONIC SPEED
WITH THE REST OF THE FIELD DOING THEIR BEST TO CATCH HIM
SUDDENLY A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD AS EVERYONE IS
ON THEIR FEET TURNING AWAY FROM THE CAREFREE COLT IN FRONT
WHAT IS CAUSING THE UPROAR IS THAT RUFFIAN SUDDENLY LET
HER 'INNER-CHEETAH' COME OUT TO RUN WITH THE LIGHTNING
SPEED OF THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL ON THE PLANET!
THE FEISTY FILLY IS PASSING ONE AFTER ANOTHER WITH HER
'CHEETAH EYE' ON THE CONFIDENT COLT IN THE LEAD
CATALINA SUDDENLY AWAKENED AND IS MAKING HER MOVE NOW
MOVING UP IMPRESSIVELY ALONG WITH TIGER DANCER AS THESE
2 FRISKY FILLYS JOIN RUFFIAN FOR A FEROCIOUS FELINE ASSAULT
ON THE CAREFREE COLT IN FRONT!
CRUZAN IS ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BEHIND THAT FILLY TRIO
THUNDER CAT, ROAMIN, POST TIME MIKE AND DUSTY ARE NEXT
WITH A SLUGGISH, SNAIL-SPEED CIGARSHOP MEANDERING ALONG
IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE AT THE BACK
SEEMINGLY WITH NO INTEREST IN RUNNING AT ALL TODAY
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY CONTINUES TO HOP ALONG BUT
GLANCING OVER HIS SHOULDER SEES THE ONLY THREAT TO
HIS VICTORY GALLOP AND THE WINNER CIRCLE!
IN THE 'WINX' OF AN EYE, HIS LEAD IS GONE!
THE BLURR OF HOT PINK SILKS OF THE RUFFIAN-CHEETAH
HAS FLOWN ON BY AS IF HE WERE ONLY OUT FOR A MORNING JOG!
THE LOOK ON THE COLT'S FACE IS ONE OF SHOCK & AWE!
SHOCK THAT ANYONE COULD CATCH HIM
AWE OF THE FLAMBOYANT FEARLESS FILLY WHO DID!
A BREATHTAKING BODACIOUS BATTLE LASTED FOR ONLY A MOMENT
UNTIL CHEETAH-SPEED AGAIN DOMINATED WITH 'PURRSUASIVE' POWER
A RECORD BREAKING MARGIN OF VICTORY FOR THE FIERCE FILLY
