A ''6-PACK'' OF SPEEDSTERS
HAVE COME AWAY WITH A SHORT LEAD:
PEEPTOAD ~ POST TIME MIKE ~ DUSTY
CRUZAN ~ CATALINA ~ THUNDER CAT
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQmPPYVkxGhKNGMhXP6KxDpWIbjM3_oPod7xHZLHMs1JUr5Ydi-_A)
REAL QUIET IS NEXT -- RIGHT AT THEIR TAILS
HEADING INTO THE TURN
THE REMAINING FOUR OF:
CIGARSHOP ~ BLUNNY ~ RUFFIAN ~ TIGER DANCER
ARE NOW PLAYING A GAME OF CATCH UP EARLY ON
~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~
THE SPEEDY 6-PACK IS NOW A FIERCE FOURSOME IN THE LEAD
PEEPTOAD ~ THUNDER CAT ~ REAL QUIET & CIGARSHOP
BLUNNY ~ DUSTY ARE STILL RUNNING STRONGLY JUST 3 LENGTHS BACK
FOLLOWED BY A TRIO OF CATALINA ~ CRUZAN ~ RUFFIAN
POST TIME MIKE SPOOKED
AT THE SHENANIGANS IN THE INFIELD
LOSING ALL FOCUS AND EARLY MOMENTUM
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR6377fNt5SyI7efp2Axxs5qB8H4tGpbJDyGJu81uCTHoQffJpZ) (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQjAGh-yeie9p-XNJ-_s7TQj6wTUAY7JKNjX6cuWTrtQDWJGGGsOQ)
TRAILING THE FIELD BY DAYLIGHT IS -- THE DANCING TIGER
WHO IS DOING THE SLOW-SNAIL-SAMBA
APPARENTLY FORGETTING HOW TO DO THE 'QUIK-STEP'
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ9rZLP5AnLPRdXHR9DOyZGtrl1GNen2NGp4Pd7nWZbmcsQQYN4Kw)
THE FILLY SEEMS TO BE WAY MORE INTERESTED IN THE
PREAKNESS PARTY-GOERS ANTICS THAN RUNNING A RACE!
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmdNUmWMDAcgBO7wFFJ1cU-3WVThDh-8x_sLvPJM4deiBundgr7A)
~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~
PEEPTOAD SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND THE WATER SOAKED TRACK
PURRR-FECT FOR HER STYLE OF RUNNING AND NOW HAS
'LEAPED' INTO COMMAND OF THE LEAD ALL ALONE
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQgcNxVJ2NfvmA_RF6TJjxr4UstA3tlbpjWLZfwehhokE_Dj7wfrg)
THUNDER CAT AND REAL QUIET ARE ABOUT 4 LENGTHS BACK
WITH BLUNNY -&- DUSTY NEXT TRYING TO KEEP UP
CIGARSHOP ALSO GOT DISTRACTED BY FANS IN THE INFIELD
LOSING HIS EARLY FOCUS .... JUST AS POST TIME MIKE
HAD DONE COMING OUT OF THE TURN
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTD2t2z1A3wlQKkr_i59XIXfVWOJClVHy83HxqrJuDXz2buuRZj) ~Cigarshop FANS~ :thumbsup:
NO WONDER SOME DEDICATED RACING FANS ARE
OPPOSED TO THE INFIELD SHENANIGANS ....
WHICH SEEMS TO AFFECT SOME HORSES SO BADLY
IT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE OF A WINNING EFFORT OR LOSS
~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~
PEEPTOAD CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN A 5 LENGTH LEAD
APPARENTLY REALLY LOVING THE PUDDLES SHE IS GLIDING
RIGHT OVER AND NOW ... EVEN INCREASING HER SPEED
(https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/jumping-pacman-frog-shallow-water-81817200.jpg)
THUNDER CAT -&- REAL QUIET ARE NECK -&- NECK IN A
BATTLE OF THEIR OWN FOR THE 'BRIDESMAID TROPHY'
SEVERAL LENGTHS BACK ARE BLUNNY & DUSTY EACH HOPING
TO STEAL 'THE PRECIOUS' AS A WIN IS DEFINITELY OUT OF REACH
CIGARSHOP IS NEXT FOLLOWED BY DEFENDING CHAMP -- CATALINA
WHO NOW REALIZES A REPEAT VICTORY IS LOST IN THE FOG :o :(
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQt4HxWbstr1oWRUkoS0WYNllfrP4bUzgvTUNyo6eYAX94M7brH)
EVEN FARTHER BACK IS THE TURTLE-TEMPO-TRIO OF
CRUZAN ~ POST TIME MIKE AND RUFFIAN
WHO MUST HAVE LEFT HER 'INNER CHEETAH' BACK AT THE BARN
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS4B0KOPS6IBEpXhIueOVUTfvnaLRtiojsJjKr7OZIsTA6Qujaxzw)
IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE, IS --- TIGER DANCER
JUST MEANDERING ALONG ... APPARENTLY
MESMERIZED BY THE INFIELD PARTY ANTICS
WITH THE WIRE JUST AHEAD PEEPTOAD HAS LEAPED INTO AN
EVEN BIGGER LEAD, SIMPLY RELISHING THE TRACK CONDITIONS
HAVING HER OWN "PUDDLE-PARTY-OF-A-PERFECT-PERFORMANCE"!
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQH-GGszstRDkiPOa6EYZDEpUUwkcj0KKCdFr4FcaTARHcd-m6K)(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQJMr4qqTBQrfS95NKHhq6Xg6NY1KqLcsvZK4LpoSU9jkzTmfZl)(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQLCcpbZBmaIZNxHnzHAMROXlpqNxe9Cy5tzuSn9dEu7FLZPYRv)
~~PERSISTANT -&- PASSIONATE PEEPTOAD FANS~~
