Looking forward to calling the feature race.
"The Opelousa Zydeco and Perfectly Seasoned Gator Hunt Celebration"
Dusty defending Champ
Justin Wilson always puts out a nice spread for the Stewards and Race Callers.
My favorites are Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya and Crawfish and Potato Bisque.
During the racing I like to munch on Alligator Medallions and finish the day off with
Coconut-Pineapple cake.
"Gar-on-tee"
Looking out onto the track I see it is sloppy with pools of water scattered all over
the racing surface. The infield is a lake with heads of Gators peeking their heads
out of the water.
The early races have concluded with out incidents and the Gator population
seems to have increased and edged closer to the track.
The track has employed Troy Landry and his Swamp People to keep the Gators
in check. Lassos can only be used since some are Mascots for some Louisiana sport teams
a few wrestling venues.
The horse are led to the starting gate unmanageable and fractious cause the can
smell the Gators and hear their roar. The horses snort with fear, jockeys scrap
the sweat from their hides. All jockeys are wearing adult diapers, no explanation
needed.
My Bi-nocs pick up the loading with most reluctant to load. Gates a rocking, jockeys
are blessing themselves, one is carrying a rosary, another is on a cell phone calling
loved ones.
Gates open and with quarter horse speed all splish, splash away giving the starters
a bath as they exit the gate.
At the 2f pole, Cruz and Roam led the pack with Digger and the battery packed Bunny
close behind. Ruff, Thunder Cat and Dusty are hugging the outer rail looking for a break
in the fence so they can head for the Casino.
Gators heads follow the action and slowly move to the edge of the lake. Swamp
People alert for hostile movement.
4f pole finds the Bunny hopping over the slop as if riding a Swamp Buggy.
Tiger D, Digger and Roam water skiing behind the Buggy. Thunder, Dusty and Cruz are
wearing Camo trying not to be noticed by the Gators as they trail the herd. The
Gators are eyeing Ruff as she seems to be mired in the mud.
3/4 pole with 1/4 to go, the Rabbit, Thunder C and Digger head to the top of the
stretch away from the inner rail. The stragglers have transformed their whips into
tranquillizer guns seeing the advancement of the Gators to the top of the stretch.
The Swamp People are holding of all but 2 who advance to the inner rail.
I have decided Alligator Medallions are not appropriate food at the moment.
One Gator has crossed the grandstand toward the stairs going to the officials
boxes. I hope he doesn't think I have been munching on a cousin. He decided to
trust his luck in the Casino.
A Gator has latched onto Tiger Dancers Tail and she sprints in fear to the finish
line. The Bunny not wanting to become Gator meat also with Dusty and Thunder
form a close pack to the finish line.
Tiger lets a shrill roar of fear while crossing the finish line first with the Gator
still locked onto her tail. The Bunny with a Electrode whip leaps onto the Gator
turning him into Grilled Gator meat and finishing second. The Bunny is a hero in
the eyes of the Tiger with promises of REWARDS later.
Dusty edges Thunder C in a photo and they head to the barn for a much
deserved rub down.
Digger, Roam and Ruff surrounded by the Swamp People head to the Stewards room
followed by a dozen Gators. They want to know how they can justify running
such a dangerous race for their pleasure, since there are no fans. They will now
become the Gator Menu, Stewards Sushi.
Never met a Steward I liked.
Poor Cruz, you know what they say about the slow, you become Gator meat.
In your memory we had a New Orleans style funeral, with Marching Band and Mourners
on Bourbon St.
