DEFENDING CHAMP ~PEEPTOAD~
WILL HAVE 11 CONTENTIOUS CHALLENGERS
TRYING TO PREVENT ANOTHER ''LEAP'' TO VICTORY
10 IN THE GATE BEHAVING NICELY AS DUSTY HAS DECIDED SHE
IS NOT INTO RUNNING TODAY, REFUSING TO ENTER HER GATE
SO HERE COMES THE BLINDFOLD, PEPPERMINTS -&- EXTRA CREW
TO CONVINCE THE FRACTIOUS FILLY TO GO ON IN!
FINALLY WE HAVE SUCCESS -&- 12 ARE READY TO RUN!
.... AND AWAAAAY THEY GO
IN THE "RIDERS ON THE STORM" STAKES
(https://www.paulickreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Kentucky-Downs-Scenic2-684x385.jpg)
IT'S A FAIRLY SLOW FOURSOME OUT FOR A SHORT LEAD
{DC}PEEPTOAD ~ EL PRADO ~ CATALINA ~ BLUNNY
THESE FOUR ARE FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY
RUFFIAN -&- THUNDER CAT
THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE STILL
FINDING THEIR BEST STRIDE
~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~
THE LEAD NOW BELONGS ALL TO
THE VERY 'ENERGIZED-BLUNNY'
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcShz-OXFYYlJrCAGCbc8zrFm1lHqmKqQnzW2g5p7h6Wx1oZi9q1)
TIGER DANCER -&- REAL QUIET
HAVE QUICKLY MOVED UP INTO 2nd
IT'S 3 LENGTHS BACK TO
RUFFIAN ~ EL PRADO ~ CATALINA
POST TIME MIKE IS RIGHT ON
THE TAILS OF THESE 3 FILLYS
THUNDER CAT IS NEXT
ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK ARE
PEEPTOAD ~ CRUZAN ~ CIGARSHOP
AND AFTER TOTALLY STALLING EXITING HER GATE
APPEARING BEFUDDLED, BAFFLED & BEWILDERED THAT IT OPENED
~DUSTY~ THE SILLY FILLY - IS SO FAR BACK
THAT ALL SHE IS SEEING IS
11 TAILS QUICKLY DISAPPEARING IN THE DISTANCE!

~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~
THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' CONTINUES TO HOP ALONG WITH
IMPRESSIVE ENERGY LEADING THE WAY CONVINCINGLY
(https://media.giphy.com/media/UKn2BSbDWK0gg/giphy.gif)
EL PRADO SUDDENLY HAS DECIDED -- ENOUGH OF HIS
COCKY COLT SHENANIGANS AND IS TURNING UP THE POWER
QUICKLY PASSING RUFFIAN -&- REAL QUIET
TO MOVE JUST IN BEHIND THE BODACIOUS 'BUNNY' IN FRONT
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRhdYH_YXvMfpcTKb4B_Re5uqwklYK_uUjS9eVjUWfEuOWygz8BYw)
POST TIME MIKE IS NOT THRU YET ~ INCREASING HIS SPEED
NOW ONLY 5 LENGTHS BEHIND BLUNNY -&- EL PRADO
IT'S A SUDDEN 'STAMPEDE' BEHIND POST TIME MIKE
AS A SIZZLING-SIX ARE STORMING IN UNISON
JUST A LENGTH BACK!
DEFENDING CHAMP PEEPTOAD ~ CATALINA ~ THUNDER CAT,
REAL QUIET ~ TIGER DANCER ~ CIGARSHOP
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQvtBukI9vhfFCdaGtObmDe9OxeGsYzYzMZDe2DMK4GICqpRq-gkw)
RUFFIAN HAS APPARENTLY LEFT HER 'INNER-CHEETAH'
BACK IN THE BARN AFTER FAST FRACTIONS FROM THE GATE,
LOLLYGAGGING ALONG ....
WITH CRUZAN -&- DUSTY WAY FAR BACK BEHIND HER!
~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~
BLUNNY STILL HOPPING ALONG WITH GOOD ENERGY
BUT HIS LEAD IS DIMINISHING WITH EVERY STRIDE
AS EL PRADO, MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER
NOT TO LET THIS COLT GET AWAY WITH HIS
OVERLY CONFIDENT PERSONA ~
IS CLOSING THE GAP QUICKLY
IT'S AT LEAST 7 LENGTHS BACK TO POST TIME MIKE
DEFENDING CHAMP PEEPTOAD - STILL IN WITH A CHANCE {MAYBE}
BUT THAT CHANCE IS QUICKLY DISAPPEARING WITH THE WIRE
JUST AHEAD AND 5 OTHERS RIGHT ON HER TAIL AS WELL
THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET WITH A 2-TONE ROAR FROM THE STANDS
THE HIGHER PITCHED TONE OF THE LADIES SCREAMING FOR EL PRADO
THE DEEPER TONE OF THE MEN SHOUTING FOR THE BUNNY
THE WIRE IS COMING QUICKLY -- AND WITH ONE FINAL
DYNAMIC DESPERATE DISPLAY OF DETERMINATION
EL PRADO HAS DONE IT!
NOW THE ROAR FROM THE STANDS
IS ALL COMING FROM THE LADIES!
ONCE AGAIN, BLUNNY HAS ANOTHER 'BRIDESMAID' GOWN
ADDING TO HIS ALREADY COPIOUS COUTURE COLLECTION!

POST TIME MIKE HOLDS OFF DEFENDING CHAMP, PEEPTOAD
TO GATHER THE FLOWERS IN 3rd
AS PEEPTOAD STEALS 'THE PRECIOUS'
WITH A VERY FEARFUL FURTIVE EXPRESSION
APPARENTLY ON THE LOOKOUT FOR GOLLUM!
CONGRATS TO EL PRADO ~ THE BEST 'RIDER ON THE STORM'
WITH AN IMPRESSIVE LATE RUN TO HAVE THE FINAL SAY
IN THE VICTORY GALLOP TO THE WIRE!
