(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
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSThY79GxEFlcrR8Af4-KQQyfX8MTviyL3GXdwhVJXKUGIrwURW) (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSF5YZCPRJjXV_tT1Wk4ELvCiI-H50GyqVpWEd4T5eIDeadv0WvxQ)
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!
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTJ3EtSk0jzKHB6V8VjxEwEZHhtBmkNEQBqZgSG_Z_PtHeDS0Vh9g) (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT8nPFHhNnevJLGnVu8zUgemPOrkVZnoVwi_XR65uYEbg4DtcRu)
~~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''
$$--OFFICIAL ORDER OF FINISH--$$

Very nice victory Post Time Mike
Wonderful graphics & race call by two lovely ladies....
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!!

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:
