    :forruffian:        **RESULTS**


       

        GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME
              TO SUPURRR SATURDAY
COMING TO YOU FROM SUNNY SANTA ANITA


     OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY WILL BE:
         THE ''MEMORIAL DAY'' STAKES

COMMEMORATING ALL AMERICANS WHO HAVE GIVEN
THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE SERVING OUR COUNTRY
         


  ALSO HONORING ALL THOSE WHO SERVED BUT WERE
LUCKY ENOUGH TO RETURN HOME TO THEIR LOVED ONES!


DEFENDING CHAMP ---> PEEPTOAD
  WILL HAVE 10 CHALLENGERS
TRYING TO PREVENT A DUPLICATE 'LEAP TO VICTORY'

ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE A DELAY -- AS 10 IN THE GATE ARE
  WAITING FOR RUFFIAN TO STOP HER 'SHENANIGANS'
    DANCING -&- PRANCING LIKE A CIRCUS PERFORMER


(RUMOR HAS IT, HER TRAINER HAD BEEN SHOWING HER
VIDEOS OF ZENYATTA DANCING IN THE POST PARADES)

FINALLY SOME CATNIP LACED HORSE TREATS HAVE CONVINCED
       THE SILLY FILLY THAT IT'S TIME TO RUN A RACE!


  AND AWAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO ....
          IN THE 'MEMORIAL DAY' STAKES

   


          OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD IS ...
      A QUINTET HEADING TO THE TURN
      (DC) PEEPTOAD ~ POST TIME MIKE ~
        BLUNNY ~ DUSTY ~ REAL QUIET


      ~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~


THE FAST FRISKY 5 HAVE NOW BEEN REDUCED TO JUST 2
       IT IS PEEPTOAD WHO EMERGES WITH THE LEAD
     AND THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' RIGHT ON HER TAIL
   


IT'S ABOUT 8 LENGTHS BACK TO
DUSTY ~ REAL QUIET ~ CRUZAN
WITH POST TIME MIKE + CIGARSHOP
    NOW JOINING THOSE 3
IN A LINE ACROSS THE TRACK

     THIS NEW QUICK QUINTET IS FOLLOWED BY
THUNDER CAT -&- CATALINA A FEW LENGTHS BACK

SOMEWHERE IN THE FAR DISTANCE IS THE 'BIG-CAT' DUO
TIGER DANCER -&- RUFFIAN -- WHO APPARENTLY LEFT THEIR
       STEALTH AND SPEED ALTER EGOS ....
DREAMING ABOUT MUNCHING ON A CATNIP BALE IN THE BARN!
   


     ~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~


DEFENDING CHAMP PEEPTOAD ~ STILL IN COMMAND
BUT HER LEAD IS DIMINISHING QUICKLY
AS THE CLOSERS ARE PICKING UP SPEED 
WITH BLUNNY NOW NECK -&- NECK WITH THE TIRING FILLY

SUDDENLY THERE IS A HUGE ROAR FROM THE CROWD

A DYNAMIC DUO OF POST TIME MIKE -&- DUSTY
HAVE SPROUTED INVISIBLE IMAGINARY WINGS
     FLYING PAST EVERYONE IN THEIR WAY

THERE THEY GO RIGHT PAST BLUNNY -&- PEEPTOAD!

BLISTERING BODACIOUS FIERCE FRACTIONS HAVE PUT
  THIS FILLY-COLT-COMBO FAR AHEAD OF THE REST


     ~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~


POST TIME MIKE -&- DUSTY IN A BREATHTAKING BATTLE
NECK AND NECK ~ STRIDE FOR STRIDE ~ SIDE BY SIDE

BLUNNY IS NEXT ~ ALL OUT ~ BUT HIS ENERGIZER BATTERY IS
STARTING TO DRAIN AS THE DISTANCE TO THE DUO IN FRONT
IS NOW LOOKING LIKE AN IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE TO OVERCOME

DEFENDING CHAMP, PEEPTOAD, WHOSE BRILLIANT BEGINNING
  EFFORT HAD HER LOOKING LIKE A REPEAT WINNER, IS NOW
A LOST CAUSE, AS THE FILLY IS LEG WEARY & LOSING GROUND

WITH THE WIRE JUST AHEAD, THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET
AS WE HEAR THE HIGHER TONED SCREAMS FROM THE LADIES
CHEERING ON DUSTY AND THE DEEP VOICES OF MEN,
ROOTING ON THEIR COLT CHAMP,  POST TIME MIKE!

HERE'S THE WIRE ~ HOLD ALL TICKETS
    WAY TOO CLOSE TO CALL!!
OBJECTION LIGHTS ARE FLASHING
    JOCKEYS ON THE PHONE
2 TRAINERS RUNNING OUT ON THE TRACK
     

THE STEWARDS ARE VIEWING THE REPLAY

DUSTY'S JOCKEY IS SAYING THAT POST TIME MIKE VEERED
IN NEARING THE WIRE, AND HIS WHIP STARTLED THE FILLY

        LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED FLASHING:
HERE IS THE OFFICIAL STEWARDS DECISION

''ALTHOUGH, POST TIME MIKE'S WHIP HAD COME CLOSE TO DUSTY
THERE WAS NO QUESTION THAT HIS NOSE TOUCHED THE WIRE 1st
HOWEVER, HIS JOCKEY WILL SUFFER A PENALTY FINE FOR HIS RIDE''

Wonderful graphics & race call by two lovely ladies....

PostTimeMike

Another surprise!!! That was a tough race!! Several lead changes!! Close finish with Dusty, but in the end it was Allaboutmike!!! LOL (Still can't use emojis on my laptop.)

Special thanks to Lady Cat and Tiger Dancer for another stellar race call and graphics!!! Outstanding!!

And certainly special thanks to the men and women who sacrificed all for our freedom!! Remember that 3:00 PM (1500) is the scheduled time for a moment of silence in honor of the fallen warriors!!

Until next time....

See ya'll in the Starting Gate!!!

No problem!! ;D 1st race was obvious choice for me! In the Gamely, just kept the military theme going with Bushranger (sire)!! 8)

Thought for sure we would be chasing peep all day!! That was a fast start!! :OMG:

We'll see Saturday if the Penn is mightier than the dart!!! :lmao:
