                         THE EIGHT ARE IN THE GATE
             AND AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO


IT'S AN ENERGERIZER-BLUNNY & A SMOKIN CIGARSHOP
  SIDE BY SIDE OUT FOR A SHORT, BRIEF, EARLY LEAD
WITH A FRISKY FILLY TRIO RIGHT ON THEIR TAILS HEADING INTO THE TURN
                   RUFFIAN ~ TIGER DANCER & THUNDER CAT
                       

                            OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

ROAMIN IS NEXT BUT NOT FINDING HIS BEST STRIDE YET
DEFENDING CHAMP ~ DUSTY ~ STALLED EXITING THE GATE
                 AND IS STRUGGLING TO GET GOING!

                        THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

TIGER DANCER SUDDENLY SPOOKED AT SOMETHING CAUSING
HER TO LOSE MOMENTUM AND OPENING UP THE OPPORTUNITY
OR ''HOPPERTUNITY'' FOR THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY TO HOP ON BY
                      TAKING COMMAND OF THE LEAD
                                                   

TIGER DANCER, REGAINING HER COMPOSURE IS NEXT
WITH A SMOKIN-HOT-CIGARSHOP RIGHT AT HER TAIL!
                                               

ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK IS THUNDER CAT & CRUZAN
             FOLLOWED BY RUFFIAN ~ DUSTY + ROAMIN

                          AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
           
THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY NOW ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD
       HOPPING RIGHT ALONG TO HIS OWN TUNE
WITH NO CHALLENGERS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR CONCERN ~
                                 

TIGER DANCER IS NEXT WITH AN INTENSE CIGARSHOP
NOW 2 LENGTHS BACK, TRYING TO STAY WITH HER ~ BUT NOT

THUNDER CAT IS ANOTHER LENGTH BEHIND CIGARSHOP
FOLLOWED BY CRUZAN STILL WITH A CHANCE AT SOME MONEY

DEFENDING CHAMP WITH NO CHANCE AT ALL MAY BE HEADING TO YE OLE CAT HOUSE
                              UNLESS ROAMIN SLOWS DOWN ENOUGH
       TO FIND HIMSELF MUNCHING ON MILK BONE BISCUITS TONIGHT
                                           

           AT THE WIRE, THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY ALL ALONE BY DAYLIGHT
