GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO SUPURR SATURDAY
TODAY WE ARE AT BELMONT PARK
DEFENDING CHAMP, PEEPTOAD,
WILL TRY TO ''LEAP'' INTO A REPEAT PERFORMANCE OF VICTORY
:thumbsup:
HONORING THAT CHALLENGE OUR FEATURE EVENT WILL BE
THE 'LEAP OR LANGUISH' STAKES
THE DEFENDING CHAMP WILL HAVE 11 EBULLIENT CHALLENGERS
ALL TRYING TO PREVENT HER 'LEAP' INTO THE WINNER CIRCLE
THE DYNAMIC DOZEN ARE IN THE GATE READY TO RUN
AND THEY'RE OFF IN THE ''LEAP OR LANGUISH'' STAKES
WITH ONE GIANT LEAP FOR THE LEAD ~
DEFENDING CHAMP, PEEPTOAD, JOINED BY 2 COLTS
CRUZAN & POST TIME MIKE LEAVE THE FIELD WONDERING
IF THEIR GATES ALL OPENED AT THE SAME TIME!
THIS TEMERARIOUS TRIO WILL TAKE THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
:rhrse: :rhrse: :rhrse:
OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME
THE ORIGINAL TRIO NOW CHANGING
AS PEEPTOAD HAS A NEW CHALLENGER RIGHT ON HER TAIL ~ AND IT'S NOT A COLT!
THUNDER CAT WITH AN IMPRESSIVE MOVE UP THE RAIL IS
JUST A LENGTH BEHIND THE DEFENDING CHAMP
:rhrse: :rhrse:
CRUZAN IS NEXT ABOUT 8 LENGTHS BACK
IT'S ANOTHER BIG GAP TO RAVEN, POST TIME MIKE & TIGER DANCER
THIS TRIO IS FOLLOWED BY BLUNNY WHOSE ENERGIZER BATTERY
SEEMS TO BE ON HALF-CHARGE SO FAR ~
ANOTHER FEW LENGTHS BACK ARE ROAMIN & DUSTY
AND THE TRAILING TRIO OF EL PRADO, RUFFIAN & CIGARSHOP
ARE RUNNING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE OF TURTLE-DOM
NO SIGNS OF SPEED YET
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
PEEPTOAD CONTINUES TO SHOW THE WAY
CRUZAN IS NEXT ALONG WITH THUNDER CAT
DUSTY IS MOVING UP ALONG WITH POST TIME MIKE
IT'S A LONG LONG WAY BACK TO THE REST WHO WILL NEED
TO SPROUT PEGASUS WINGS TO GET A PIECE OF THE PURSE
AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
PEEPTOAD ALL OUT HEADING TO A REPEAT LEAP OF VICTORY
BUT SUDDENLY 2 COLTS ARE ON THE MOVE & CATCHING UP QUICKLY
WITH A SUPER SONIC SURGE OF SPEED
ROAMIN FROM THE CLOUDS & CRUZAN NOW WITHIN
STRIKING DISTANCE OF THE FIERY FAST FILLY IN FRONT
:rhrse: :rhrse: :rhrse:
BOTH COLTS FLEW RIGHT ON PAST THUNDER CAT WITH
AN AMAZING TURN OF FOOT & POWER
DUSTY HAS CAUGHT UP TO THUNDER CAT
POST TIME MIKE IS RIGHT THERE WITH THE 2 FILLYS
ENERGIZER-BLUNNY IS NEXT BUT NOT GAINING ANY GROUND
APPARENTLY HIS BATTERY CHARGER IS BACK AT THE BARN!
EL PRADO, RAVEN, TIGER DANCER & CIGARSHOP ARE FAR BACK
BUT NOT AS FAR BACK AS RUFFIAN
THE NOT SO FRISKY FILLY STALLED LEAVING THE GATE
AND HAS MEANDERED ALONG THE WHOLE RACE
WITHOUT ANY ENERGY OR APPARENT INTEREST IN RUNNING ~
SHE COULD BE AIMING FOR A GOLDEN GOOSE EGG NEST!
IT'S A STAMPEDE TO THE WIRE AS PEEPTOAD TRYING TO
HOLD OFF THE LATE CHALLENGE OF ROAMIN & CRUZAN
SUDDENLY IS DIGGING DEEP TO FIND THAT EXTRA POWER
THAT ONLY A CHAMPION HAS, LEAVING THE COLTS IN HER MIGHTY WAKE
:rhrse: :rhrse: :rhrse:
THE LEAPING PEEPTOAD SHOWING NO SIGNS OF 'LANGUISH' :celebrate:
HAS LEAPED INTO THE RECORD BOOK OF REPEAT VICTORIES

:girlkiss:
I didn't do bad, considering I just spent 6 days in Tampa General. I had surgery and now have a stent to catch any kidney stones they couldn't find. I picked my horses while under drug influence, from a bed in Tampa General. You have no idea how much fun it is to come out of the operating room, get hauled to a new room, and listen to 8 Greeks howling because they were not going to stay on an empty bed while the matriarch of the family watched the cartoon channel. My poor nurse got frazzled enough that she had to have hospital security toss them out after visiting hours were over.
NICELY DONE PEEPTOAD!!!!! YAY!!!
Congratulations Peeptoad
Peeptoad, good win
Way to go Peepers next week you'll be running for the triple crown
Very nice race call & very timely posting of results
Feel better El Prado
