IT'S A 'DAWDLING DUO' OUT FOR A SHORT EARLY LEAD
IN NO HURRY AT ALL ~ SETTING VERY SLOW FRACTIONS
(https://cdn.vungoi.vn/vungoi/1538464645570_PS_nhan_ps.png)
RAVEN -&- THUNDER CAT LEAD THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
:rhrse: :rhrse:
~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~
QUICKLY THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY
EL PRADO -&- DUSTY WITH A SUDDEN SURGE OF SPEED
HAVE NOW TAKEN COMMAND OF A 3 LENGTH LEAD OVER
ROAMIN ~ THUNDER CAT ~ RAVEN ~ CIGARSHOP
THIS ''6-PAK'' :racing:
ARE ANOTHER 7 LENGTHS IN FRONT OF
RUFFIAN & PEEPTOAD
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ08BLj5_1pjBSYtDUljHYtVoTvlMazYAVRRHHhc2pJ6crBv_d4)
THERE'S A GIGANTICUS GAP BACK
TO THE REST OF THE FIELD:
BLUNNY ... WHO'S 'ENERGIZER BATTERY'
APPEARS TO BE 'UNCHARGED'
TIGER DANCER ~ CATALINA ~
POST TIME MIKE ~ {DC} CRUZAN
~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~
THE SPEED IS STARTING TO HEAT UP
AS NOW IT'S A ''STAMPEDE''
ACROSS THE TRACK AT THE FRONT
RAVEN ~ ROAMIN ~ THUNDER CAT ~
EL PRADO ~ DUSTY
(https://stenagrafika.ru/-/image/fotooboi-product/3479/cover/QV8beB8ej3siHTwhZD6-iBsosMGUMIgm.jpg?p=category.products&s=1c417ba5ddfbfdd0d3c2d68c7373c903)
JUST 3 LENGTHS BACK ARE CIGARSHOP -&- RUFFIAN
THIS DUO IS ABOUT 10 LENGTHS IN FRONT OF BLUNNY
THEN WE SEE A HUGE BREAK
BACK TO THE REST OF THE FIELD:
POST TIME MIKE ~ PEEPTOAD ~ CATALINA ~ TIGER DANCER
AND EVEN FARTHER BACK IS OUR DEFENDING CHAMP, CRUZAN
WHO HAD STUMBLED OUT OF THE GATE, ALMOST TOSSING HIS JOCKEY
THEN, BUMPING INTO POST TIME MIKE SENDING THAT COLT INTO CATALINA
INTO A 3-WAY FREE-FOR-ALL ~ & NOT THE GOOD KIND
:OMG:
~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~
RAVEN FLYING ALONG ~ ROAMIN RIGHT AT HIS TAIL
AS THESE 2 CONTENTIOUS COMPETITIVE COLTS LEAD THE WAY
:rhrse: :rhrse:
JUST A LENGTH BACK ARE....
THUNDER CAT ~ EL PRADO ~ DUSTY
A GAP OF ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS TO CIGARSHOP
FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY RUFFIAN
IT'S A LONG WAY BACK TO BLUNNY, POST TIME MIKE, PEEPTOAD
CATALINA, TIGER DANCER AND DEFENDING CHAMP CRUZAN
WHO SEEMS HEADED TO THE DOG HOUSE, POSSIBLY ENJOYING
THE COMFORT OF A GOOSE-EGG-FEATHERED NEST -&- A YO-YO
:-\
AT THE FRONT SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET
AS RAVEN HAS SPREAD HIS WINGS TO FLY FERVENTLY FASTER
ON HIS WAY TO VICTORY LEAVING ROAMIN IN HIS MIGHTY WAKE
(http://pm1.narvii.com/6429/124c278c6b2c2c0eccad6cabb78fe11165704f98_00.jpg)

Thanks guys! And a special thanks to Ruffian for the race call and to Tiger for the graphics!
