**RESULTS**

GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME
TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM
COMING FROM THE TWIN SPIRES
AT CHURCHILL DOWNS

OUR SCHEDULED RACE CALL ANNOUNCER ~DUSTY~
WAS UNABLE TO FIND HER WAY OUT OF THE CAT HOUSE IN TIME
THEREFORE, THE RECALCITRANT RUFF-ZILLA WILL BE BRINGING
THE ROWDY ~ RAMBUNCTOUS ~ RAUCOUS ~ RACE CALL

**FEATURE EVENT**
THE 'SMOKE OR SMOLDER' STAKES

DUE TO LATE SCRATCHES OF: EL PRADO, CATALINA -&- REAL QUIET
DEFENDING CHAMP ~CIGARSHOP~ WILL HAVE JUST 6 CONTENTIOUS
CHALLENGERS, TRYING TO PREVENT A REPEAT VICTORY GALLOP!

AND AWAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 'SMOKE OR SMOLDER' STAKES

LEAVING NO DOUBT AT ALL WHO IS 'SMOKIN-HOT'
RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE IT'S
THE FIERCE, FEISTY FILLY FELINES -->
THE 'CHEETAH -&- THE TIGER' BIG CAT DUO
LEAVING THE REST IN A FRUSTRATED FURY OF FUTILITY!

~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~

THE 'INNER CHEETAH' OF RUFFIAN HAS CLAWED HER WAY TO AN
IMPOSING LEAD WITH A TENACIOUS TIGER DANCER 13 LENGTHS BACK

THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' APPEARING TO BE HOPPIN ALONG ON A
HALF-CHARGED BATTERY IS NEXT ~ ANOTHER 10 LENGTHS BACK!

DUSTY & CRUZAN ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THE HUGE GAP
WITHOUT SUCCESS ~ AS CIGARSHOP IS SEEING HIS HOPE OF A
REPEAT VICTORY DISAPPEARING QUICKLY IN THE DISTANCE

MEANWHILE, THUNDER CAT IS SNOOZING ALONG IN NO HURRY YET

~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~

RUFFIAN CONTINUES TO ROAR ALONG WITH A FURIOUS FRENZY
OF SUPURRR-SONIC SPEED INCREASING HER LEAD EVEN MORE

TIGER DANCER STILL HOLDING ON IN 2nd PLACE BUT WITH A
HUGE AMOUNT OF GROUND SEPARATING HER
FROM THE FIERCELY FAST FILLY IN FRONT

BLUNNY TRYING TO CHARGE UP HIS ENERGIZER-BATTERY IS NEXT
BUT WITH LITTLE TO NO HOPE OF CATCHING THE 'BIG-CAT' DUO AHEAD

A HUGE GAP OF ANOTHER 8 LENGTHS BACK TO DUSTY & CRUZAN
AS DEFENDING CHAMP, CIGARSHOP, SEES HIS REPEAT HOPES
GOIN UP IN A CLOUD OF SMOLDERING SMOKE

THUNDER CAT, SHOWING NO SIGNS OF 'THUNDER' AT ALL
IS DOING A DAWDLING-DRIZZLE-DANCE FAR BACK APPEARING
TO BE HEADED FOR THE CONVIVIAL CAPTIVATING CAT HOUSE!

~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~

RUFFIAN, WITH A DISPLAY OF
'CAT-TANKEROUS' - CALCULATING ''CHEETAH POWER''
IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE RACE NOW!

WITH YET ANOTHER BURST OF FELINE-FRENZY-FURY ~
RUFFIAN'S 'INNER-CHEETAH' IS JUST FLIRTING WITH THE FIELD
WAY FAR BEHIND HER AS SHE HEADS TO THE WIRE AMIDST
A RESOUNDING ROAR FROM THE CROWD ~

IT'S 20 LENGTHS BACK TO A TENACIOUS TIGER DANCER
DOING HER OWN TEMPESTUOUS-2-STEP-TANGO
TRYING TO CLOSE THE GAP

BLUNNY WITH A FRIGHTFULLY FAILING
HALF-CHARGED-ENERGIZER- BATTERY IS NEXT
BUT NEEDING BUNNY BINOCULARS TO SEE THE
'BIG CAT' TWIN TAILS DISAPPEARING IN THE DISTANCE

ANOTHER HUGE GAP BACK TO A BATTLE FOR 'THE PRECIOUS'
BETWEEN DUSTY & CRUZAN

DEFENDING CHAMP, CIGARSHOP, WITH NO CHANCE OF A
REPEAT VICTORY, NOW SEES THE DOG HOUSE DOOR BECKONING
WITH THE AROMA OF MILK-BONE BISCUITS IN THE AIR

THUNDER CAT SEEING NO CHANCE OF ESCAPING
THE COZY COMFORT OF THE CAT HOUSE
COMPLETE WITH CATNIP & CHIPPENDALE DANCERS
HAS SETTLED IN QUITE COMFORTABLY AT THE BACK

AT THE WIRE IT'S RUFFIAN
WITH HER 'INNER-CHEETAH' ALL ALONE
AT THE WIRE BY 23 LUDICROUS LENGTHS!

A TRUCULENT TIGER DANCER NOT GIVING UP EASILY TURNS
'TIGER-TENACITY' INTO BODACIOUS BRIDESMAID BLING

THE NOT-SO-ENERGIZED-BLUNNY, STILL HAD ENOUGH BATTERY POWER
TO TAKE HOME THE FRAGRANT FLOWERS IN 3rd

DAWDLING DUSTY & CREEPING CRUZAN FOUGHT HARD FOR THE
PRESTIGIOUS 'PRECIOUS' WITH A DETERMINED DUSTY STEALING
IT AS A GRUMPY GOLLUM GLARES FROM THE BUSHES!
