GOOD AFTERNOON -&- WELCOME TO MIDWEEK MAYHEM COMING TO YOU FROM INDIANA GRAND RACETRACK
OCTOBER IS INTERNATIONAL BLACK CAT MONTH
HONORING THAT HOLIDAY ~ OUR FEATURE EVENT IS: THE ''PURRR OR POUT'' STAKES --OR--
WHO WILL PURR IN THE WINNER CIRCLE IN CAT OR DOG HOUSE WHO WILL POUT WHO WILL BELIEVE A BLACK CAT IS LUCKY THE RACE CALL WILL HELP U FIND OUT!
DEFENDING CHAMP, CATALINA WILL HAVE 8 COMPETITIVE CHALLENGERS TRYING TO PREVENT A REPEAT VICTORY
THE ENERGETIC 8 ARE IN THE GATE AS A DAWDLING DUSTY IS DUSTING OFF THE STARTERS WITH HER TAIL SWISHING -&- SILLY SHENANIGANS!
PEPPERMINTS -&- GENTLE URGING HAVE CONVINCED THE FRACTIOUS FILLY TO GO ON IN ~ AND WE ARE READY TO RUN
AWAAAAAY THEY GO IN .... THE ''PURRR OR POUT'' STAKES
WITH A MIGHTY ROAR, A SPEEDY DUO OF ~ RUFFIAN LETTING HER 'INNER CHEETAH' COME OUT EARLY ON, AND BLUNNY WITH A HIGHLY CHARGED ENERGIZER BATTERY LEAD THE FIELD INTO THE TURN
~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~
THE DYNAMIC DUO LEAD HAS QUICKLY CHANGED IN A HEARTBEAT!
EL PRADO FROM THE CLOUDS, WITH AN UNBELIEVABLE SURGE OF SPEED ~ HAS LEFT THE FIELD STRUGGLING IN DISBELIEF AS HER FLASHY FILLY TAIL IS DISAPPEARING INTO THE DISTANCE!
IT'S AT LEAST 15 LENGTHS BACK TO RUFFIAN & BLUNNY THIS DUO IS FOLLOWED BY CIGARSHOP
ANOTHER 7 LENGTHS BACK IS THE TRIO OF THUNDER CAT ~ CRUZAN & CATALINA WHO ALREADY SEES HER CHANCES OF A REPEAT WIN, DISAPPEARING FAST!
WAY FAR BACK, DOING THE SLEEPY-SNAIL-SHUFFLE ARE TIGER DANCER & DUSTY, SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SPEED AT ALL!
~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~
EL PRADO JUST PUTTING ON A DRAMATIC DISPLAY OF POWER LEAVING THE FIELD PLAYING A GAME OF 'CATCH UP IF U CAN' WHICH IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY, AS THE FIERCELY FAST FILLY HAS SET RECORD BREAKING FRACTIONS LEADING THE FIELD BY DAYLIGHT
~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~
EL PRADO ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD SUDDENLY WITH ANOTHER SIZZLING SURGE OF SPEED, HAS INCREASED HER LEAD EVEN MORE REMINDING FANS OF THE FAMOUS SECRETARIAT'S BELMONT!
THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' CONTINUES TO MOVE UP WITH NO CHANCE OF WINNING, BUT AN EXCELLENT BRIDESMAID TROPHY CLEARLY IN HIS SIGHTS
THUNDER CAT & CIGARSHOP LOCKED IN A TIGHT BATTLE FOR THE FLOWERS & 'THE PRECIOUS'
RUFFIAN -&- CATALINA ARE NEXT FOLLOWED BY A TURTLE-TEMPO-TRIO OF CRUZAN, TIGER DANCER & DUSTY AS THESE 3 ARE HEADING TO THE DOG OR CAT HOUSE! THE QUESTION OF 'WHO WILL POUT' IS NOT SO CLEAR YET!
EL PRADO CROSSES THE FINISH LINE ALL ALONE WITH NO CHALLENGER EVEN CLOSE, THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF ''WHO WILL PURRR'' IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, BUT MORE OF A ROAR
