DEEPEST APOLOGIES TO DEFENDING CHAMP THUNDER CAT 

DUE TO A MISUNDERSTANDING OF WORDING IN AN EMAIL
I MISTAKENLY MISUNDERSTOOD HER VENUE CHOICE 

ORIGINALLY SHE HAD SAID: PRESQUE ISLE DOWNS OR BELMONT
THEN INDIANA CAME UP AS A POSSIBILITY ~
WHEN SHE REPLIED NEXT, THE SUBJECT LINE ON THE EMAIL SAID ==> INDIANA

SO I SOMEHOW THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT SHE WANTED! 

THIS IS A FIRST FOR THAT KIND OF ERROR
AND I AM HUMBLED IN MY APOLOGY TO HER!   

TO MAKE AMMENDS I THINK MAYBE THE NEXT TIME I WIN
   SHE WILL GET TO CHOOSE THE FOLLOWING VENUE!

     ''FLY HIGH -OR- CRY'' STAKES:  RESULTS 


     
                GOOD AFTERNOON + WELCOME TO               
MIDWEEK MAYHEM @ INDIANA GRAND RACETRACK


           
TODAY OUR FEATURE EVENT IS CELEBRATING:
              ~NATIONAL EAGLE DAY~
  **THE  ''FLY HIGH -OR- CRY''  STAKES**
~~OR~~        
                                       
   
DEFENDING CHAMP ~THUNDER CAT~ WILL HAVE 7 CHALLENGERS
            TRYING TO STOP A REPEAT FILLY FELINE ROAR
REAL QUIET IS A LATE SCRATCH WITH NO REASON FROM TRAINER


     TODAY IS ALSO A BOTS DAY:  BATTLE OF THE SEXES
FIERCE FEROCIOUS FILLYS -VS- COURAGEOUS CHARISMATIC COLTS



7 AWAITING DUSTY -- WHO IS REFUSING TO GO INTO THE GATE
   THE FRISKY FILLY IS PUTTING ON QUITE AN ENTERTAINING       
       PERSNICKETY PERFORMANCE OF DANCE + DEFIANCE
                                               :chickendance:
      CATNIP LACED PEPPERMINTS HAVE PROVEN TO BE CONVINCING!


AND AWAAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 'FLY HIGH OR CRY' STAKES....
                     

                                   
TAKING AN EARLY LEAD IS RUFFIAN
WHO SEEMS TO HAVE LET HER ''INNER CHEETAH''
OUT EARLY TO LEAD THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
                                                           

     ~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~


RUFFIAN CONTINUES TO LEAD THE WAY
        BY AT LEAST 13 LENGTHS
     
CIGARSHOP SUDDENLY FOUND HIS MAGICAL MOJO
        AND IS GAINING GROUND QUICKLY
             ON THE FAST FRONT RUNNING FILLY
                                                                         
IT'S ANOTHER 7 LENGTHS BACK TO A 'NOT-SO-ENERGIZED-BLUNNY'
        SURROUNDED BY 3 FRISKY 'FELINE' FILLYS
            TIGER DANCER ~ THUNDER CAT ~ CAT-ALINA

TRAILING THE FIELD IN SLOTH~SNAIL STYLE ARE
                      CRUZAN AND DUSTY
         


     ~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~


RUFFIAN SUDDENLY SPOOKED AT SOMETHING IN THE INFIELD
    WHICH APPEARS TO BE A PAIR OF HIGH FLYING OSPREYS
      CAUSING THE FRIGHTENED FILLY TO LOSE MOMENTUM
BACKING UP BADLY ~ YIELDING THE LEAD TO A CONFIDENT CIGARSHOP
                  


     ~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~


CIGARSHOP IS CLEARLY IN COMMAND OF THE RACE NOW....

  BUT SUDDENLY THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET
WITH EYES TURNED AWAY FROM THE COLT AT THE FRONT
    LOOKING TOWARD THE BACK OF THE FIELD
AS CATALINA HAS ROARED ....
WITH A SHOCKING SURGE OF SUPER-SONIC SPEED
   PASSING EVERYONE INCLUDING CIGARSHOP!
                                                     
THE FIERCELY FAST FILLY HAS TAKEN
                  A GIGANTIC LEAD OVER THE FIELD   
TURNING WHAT HAS BEEN A FAIRLY COMPETITIVE RACE 
  INTO A DRAMATIC DISPLAY OF IMPRESSIVE POWER 
                                                       
AND JUST AS THE FEISTY FILLY HEADS TO THE WIRE
ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD BY 20 LENGTHS -- WE HEAR
ANOTHER RESOUNDING RAUCOUS ROAR FROM THE CROWD
   
FROM WAY FAR BACK A DYNAMIC DUO OF
      TIGER DANCER AND CRUZAN
SUDDENLY FINDING ANOTHER DIMENSION OF SENSATIONAL SPEED
PASSING EVERYONE IN THEIR WAY AND NOW CLOSING QUICKLY
                      ON THE FLAMBOYANT FILLY IN FRONT
BUT THE HUGE LEAD OF CATALINA IS WAY TOO MUCH TO OVERCOME

TIGER DANCER + CRUZAN ARE NOW LOCKED INTO A BRAZEN BATTLE
    FOR THE BRIDESMAID TROPHY OR THE FLOWER BEARER PRIZE
AS THEY PASS A TIRING CIGARSHOP -- WHO MAY BE LUCKY IF
HE CAN HOLD ON LONG ENOUGH TO STEAL ''THE PRECIOUS''

CATALINA EASILY ''FLIES HIGH'' LEAVING THE REST TO ''CRY''
       CONGRATS TO THE FEARLESS, FLAWLESS FILLY
BRINGING HOME THE BOTS TROPHY FOR THE FAB-FILLYS!

        PHOTO FOR THE BRIDESMAID TROPHY

OBJECTION BY TIGER DANCER'S JOCKEY AGAINST CRUZAN
