GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM
        COMING TO YOU FROM TAMPA BAY DOWNS

      OUR FEATURE EVENT IS THE BOTS CHALLENGE
                        BATTLE OF THE SEXES
FIERCE FEARLESS FILLYS VS: COOL, CONFIDENT COLTS!

THE COOLEST COLT OF ALL TODAY WILL BE: ROAMIN
TRYING TO REPEAT HIS VICTORY GALLOP OF LAST TIME

HE WILL HAVE 9 VERY COMPETITIVE CHALLENGERS TRYING
  TO PREVENT ROAMIN FROM ROAMIN TO THE WIRE 1st

THE TENACIOUS TEN ARE IN THE GATE AND READY TO RUN

        AND AWAAAAAAAAAAY THEY GO FOR BOTS GLORY

IT'S A SUPER SPEEDY TRIO OUT FOR THE EARLY LEAD
DEFENDING CHAMP, ROAMIN, JOINED BY DUSTY & BLUNNY

CRUZAN WITH HIS OWN SURGE OF SPEED
HAS NOW JOINED THE THREE IN THE LEAD
AS THIS FEARLESS FOURSOME TAKE THE FIELD INTO THE TURN

            ===== OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME =====

NOTHING HAS CHANGED ~ NOBODY CHALLENGING = YET!
THE FRISKY FOURSOME CONTINUE TO SHOW THE WAY

EL PRADO HAS MADE HER VOICE HEARD AS SHE QUICKLY
TURNS UP HER ''ACCELERATION GENE,'' TO JOIN THE FRONT
RUNNING FOURSOME ~ NOW MAKING IT 5 ACROSS THE TRACK

DEFENDING CHAMP ROAMIN, DUSTY, EL PRADO, CRUZAN & BLUNNY

IT'S A LONG WAY BACK TO THE REST WHO SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING
AT LEAST SO FAR, BUT WITH 'CLOSERS' YA NEVER KNOW TILL ITS OVER

THUNDER CAT ~ TIGER DANCER ~ CATALINA ~ CIGARSHOP & RUFFIAN

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

THE FEARLESS FIVE CONTINUE IN TOTAL COMMAND OF THE LEAD 

THE FLUSTERED, FRUSTRATED FRANTIC FIVE AT THE BACK 

BLUNNY BEGINNING TO LOOK LEG WEARY WITH HIS ENERGIZER
BATTERY PACK RUNNING ON LOW AND LOWER ~ BUT STILL IN
WITH A CHANCE AT SOME PURSE MONEY:  A BUNNY WITH A PURSE
            NOW THERE'S SOMETHING TO BEHOLD!
                                     

       ===== AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME =====

DEFENDING CHAMP, ROAMIN CONTINUES RUNNING STRONGLY
WITH HIS EYES ON THE PRIZE OF NOT JUST A REPEAT VICTORY
      BUT GLORIOUS GRANDIOSE GLORY FOR THE COLTS!
             
DUSTY & EL PRADO ARE RIGHT THERE AT HIS TAIL WITH
EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH THE CONFIDENT COLT
                         

BUT CRUZAN IS DROPPING BACK QUICKLY
    LOSING HIS EARLY MOMENTUM MOJO ~

SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS A FRISKY FILLY TRIO
ARE TURNING UP THE HEAT & TURNING ON THEIR 'SPEED-BUTTON'
       DUSTY NOW LOOMING THE BIGGEST THREAT TO ROAMIN ~
            EL PRADO RIGHT THERE BEHIND DUSTY'S TAIL  ~
               AND ~ RUFFIAN FROM ANOTHER TIME ZONE ~
                                               

AS SOON AS THE ROAR OF THE CROWD IS HEARD
BY DEFENDING CHAMP, ROAMIN, HE GLANCES BACK
TO SEE THE FEROCIOUSLY FAST FILLYS GAINING ON HIM
                                       

SO LIKE ANY TERRIFICALLY TALENTED COLT WOULD DO ~
{UNLESS BEING SURROUNDED BY FLAMBOYANT FILLYS IS DESIRED
  PERHAPS SOMETIMES ~ BUT NOT IF IT COSTS THE COLT CROWN }

THE CAREFREE, CONFIDENT COLT DECIDING THAT
~ ENOUGH IS ENOUGH & TIME TO TAKE TOTAL COMMAND

        IS  EXACTLY WHAT THE CHAMP IS DOING
A SUPURR-SONIC-SURGE OF SPEED THAT HAS WON THE DAY
  WITH A REPEAT VICTORY & BOTS GLORY FOR THE COLTS!
