SUPURR SATURDAY ~ 5/12 **RESULTS** BELMONT

[RUFFIAN]

                                   

GOOD AFTERNOON & WELCOME TO SUPURR SATURDAY AT BELMONT PARK

OUR FEATURE EVENT TODAY IS THE  ''TINKER BELL'' STAKES
WHERE DEFENDING CHAMP, REAL QUIET, HOPES TO REPEAT
HIS SUPURR IMPRESSIVE VICTORY GALLOP OF LAST TIME!

WITH THE LATE SCRATCH OF TIGER DANCER ~ REAL QUIET
WILL HAVE 10 CHALLENGERS TRYING TO STOP HIS REPEAT

TEN ARE STANDING QUIETLY WAITING FOR THE RAMBUNCTIOUS RUFFIAN
TO STOP HER 'SHENANIGANS' AS THE FRISKY FILLY IS REFUSING TO GO IN ~
            WHICH MAY BE A 'CLUE' TO HOW SHE RUNS TODAY!
                                             
     
HER LOYAL 'CHEETAH-LOVIN-FANS' KNOW IT'S EITHER A VERY GOOD   
  SIGN OR A VERY BAD ONE ~ NEVER JUST MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!
SHE EITHER IS READY TO ROAR OR CONTENT TO LOLLYGAG AROUND!

WITH SOME CATNIP LACED HORSE TREATS, THE FILLY HAS
    CONCEDED AND ENTERED HER GATE RELUCTANTLY

                       FINALLY WE ARE READY TO RUN
AND AWAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 'TINKER BELL' STAKES

IT'S A SUPURR SPEEDY PEEPTOAD LEAPING TO A BIG LEAD
              TAKING THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
                                         
       
         ===== OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME =====

IT IS NOW THUNDER CAT IN COMMAND BY 10 LENGTHS OVER PEEPTOAD
         WHO IS ABOUT 8 LENGTHS IN FRONT OF A COLT-QUARTET
COMPRISED OF: CIGARSHOP ~ CRUZAN ~ POST TIME MIKE & RAVEN

                CATALINA HAS NOW JOINED THOSE 4 COLTS 

THE FIELD IS REALLY STRETCHED OUT OVER A LONG DISTANCE
FROM THUNDER CAT AT THE FRONT TO  A FEEBLE FOURSOME
    SO FAR  BACK IT'S LIKE WATCHING 2 DIFFERENT RACES!

                           TRAILING BY AT LEAST 20 LENGTHS ARE
    DEFENDING CHAMP, REAL QUIET, DUSTY ~ BLUNNY & A SLOTH SLOW RUFFIAN
WHO MUST HAVE LEFT HER ''INNER CHEETAH'' BACK AT THE BARN IN A SNOOZE FEST!

                    THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
THUNDER CAT CONTINUES TO LEAD THE WAY IMPRESSIVELY
            SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN YET

CIGARSHOP HAS TAKEN OVER 2ND AS PEEPTOAD BEGAN TO TIRE

SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES

THE REASON FOR THIS HAS BECOME QUITE CLEAR AS CATALINA
WITH A SUPER-SONIC-SURGE OF SPEED HAS TOTALLY ROARED
RIGHT PAST PEEPTOAD, CIGARSHOP AND THUNDER CAT AS IF
     THEY WERE JUST OUT FOR A BREEZING WORKOUT!
                                       

THE FRISKY FAST FILLY IS ON FIRE TAKING TOTAL COMMAND OF
THE RACE AS IF SHE WERE ALONE PUTTING ON AN EXHIBITION
REMINDING SOME FANS OF SECRETARIAT'S BELMONT RACE!
                                       

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

CATALINA IS SO FAR AHEAD OF THE REST THAT ONLY PEGASUS
    WOULD BE ABLE TO FLY FAST ENOUGH TO PASS HER!

THUNDER CAT IS ALL OUT BUT NOT GAINING ON THE FIERCE FILLY
AS CATALINA IS AT LEAST 28 LENGTHS IN FRONT OF THE FIELD
WHO NOW ARE JUST RUNNING FOR A PIECE OF THE PURSE MONEY

           THUNDER CAT IS STILL RUNNING STRONGLY
BUT ALL SHE CAN HOPE FOR IS THE ''BRIDESMAID'' PRIZE

CIGARSHOP IS MOVING ALONG NICELY BUT IS STILL 10 LENGTHS BEHIND THUNDER CAT
WITH A LEG WEARY PEEPTOAD ANOTHER 8 LENGTHS BEHIND CIGARSHOP AS BLUNNY
FINALLY FOUND HIS "ENERGIZER BUNNY''  MOJO AND IS CLOSING QUICKLY ON PEEPTOAD

RAVEN IS NEXT FOLLOWED BY DEFENDING CHAMP, REAL QUIET, WHO
NOW IS SEEING ALL CHANCE OF A REPEAT VICTORY DISAPPEARING
     INTO THE DISTANCE AS POST TIME MIKE JOINS REAL QUIET

CRUZAN IS ANOTHER 2 LENGTHS BACK FOLLOWED BY DUSTY

   FAR BACK IS RUFFIAN WHO HAS APPARENTLY NO CLUE SHE IS IN A RACE
  FIRST ~ STALLING OUT OF THE GATE WHEN IT OPENED THEN MEANDERING   
        ALL OVER THE TRACK AS IF THIS WERE JUST A WALK IN THE PARK

           AT THE FRONT, CATALINA HAS ROARED PAST THE WIRE
WITH THE JOCKEY  TRYING HIS BEST TO PUT THE BRAKES ON BUT SO FAR
THAT ISN'T WORKING AS THE FILLY IS STILL FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS
                                             

THUNDER CAT IS A STRONG 2ND WITH AN EFFORT THAT ON ANY
        OTHER RACE DAY WOULD HAVE BEEN A WINNING ONE

CIGARSHOP TAKES 3RD AS PEEPTOAD WITH 1 TINY 'LEAP'
JUST HOLDS ON TO OUTLAST THE ENERGIZER-BLUNNY ~
STEALING  ''THE PRECIOUS''  MUCH TO THAT COLT'S DISMAY
                                     

SO THE STORY OF THE DAY IS CATALINA SPROUTING INVISIBLE WINGS
JUST LIKE THE 'TINKER BELL'  ~ ~ ~  THE NAMESAKE OF THIS RACE
              TO PUT HER BID INTO THE RECORD BOOK FOR
    THE 'CAIXA-ELETRONICA' YEAR END MEOW MIX AWARD
