  So what the heck is Tiger Dancer doing up at 3am??
I could say I was "Basting the Turkey" (wink-wink...nudge-nudge).
    But let's get real ..... That's a Big Fat Lie 
This less than domesticated Tiger -- Does NOT cook!!!
         At least not on that scale
                     
Nope .... Tiger's Paws are dancing across the keyboard
   Writing up this Strange Concoction, known as
The Tasty Tantalizing Twisted Turkey Trot 
       
             


TURKEY TROT RULES ---> THERE ARE NO RULES
                                                     
          



Twas the Day before Thanksgiving
At a Spectacle few Dare to Partake
   A crazy race day just ahead
In The Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Stakes
   


Dearly Beloved Horse Gang....
While Most of America is Focused
      On the Five -F's- of Thanksgiving:
Family ~ Friends ~ Food ~ Football ~ and Fu...N 
  ... (NOT necessarily in that order)
We are gathered here today to witness
This Befuddling ~ Bewildering ~ Beddazling Event.

**There are Two notable Heavy Hitters
       Missing from our line-up today:

  RAVEN ~ The High Flyer~ {2020 TT Winner}

It seems They started the Holiday Celebrating a little early

~Like These ... But "Better"~   


There will be a Royal Rumble
The Ultimate Battle for the Bodacious Bouquet ....
  To Determine Who will be Flower-Bearer
       


Also a very contentious game of
         MUSICAL CHAIRS
   To determine which sneaky contestant
Will Win the last seat and "Steal the Precious"
     


Then there's the highly coveted and sought after ...
  KEY ---> to the Cat or Dog House
Purrrhaps a game of Ring Around The Rosey
     Ashes, Ashes, Till only One Falls Down
       


  It's going to be a Wild and Crazy
           Contentious day to be sure             

Who will Win this Throw-Down......

With the late Scratches of
    Raven and Senator


WE HAVE ELEVEN EAGER ENTRANTS
    ALL TRYING TO DE-THRONE
         LAST WEEK'S SS CHAMP ~RUFFIAN~


Way Down Yonder at Churchill Downs
  Some Horseys Came out to Race
     Eleven So Fine -&- Fabulous Equine
         Each Running to Reach 1st Place
 

The music starts as 11 Electrifying Contenders are entering the track ...
Sashaying out onto the dirt like Runway Models hitting the Cat-Walk
    Glammed up and well Coiffed, from Mane to Tail
          Everyone looking Fierce, Focused and Fantabulous


ELEVEN IN THE GATE .... AND THEY DON'T WANNA WAIT
           THEY'RE READY TO ROLL ..... AND AWAY THEY ALL GO
         


Immediately Spectators and Officials alike
Are Bewildered and Confused ...
They Swear they see 12 horses,
   One more than the Official 11   
As it turns out, The #12 is a Ghost Horse
The Spirit of Thunder Cat on the Outside Post
     



Out of the gate for an early lead ....
  Digger ~ Zippy ~ Post Time Mike
        {aka: The Boys Club}


The rest of the pack are Jockeying for position --- 
  And there seems to be some less than Appropriate Behavior: 
     Clipping, Whipping, Tripping, Boxing, Biting, Bolting,
             General Mayhem and Interference.....
                                
    It's just a Free For All...   
        **Save it for the Battle Royale


   ~~OUT OF THE TURN~~
   


Out in front its all Digger
With Zippy right on his tail
Post-Time-Mike just in behind
Catalina moving up on the rail

The Energizer Bunny is next
Then Roamin followed by Dusty
Ruffian seems quite PurrrPlexed
  And just a little bit Fussy 

Real Quiet and Cruzan are just Cruisin
Tiger Dancer seems just to be Groovin


                 ~~TOP OF THE STRETCH~~




Digger has broken out his Secret Weapon
  ~"Strap On Rockets"~     
... Definitely NOT Standard Issue or Approved



Zippy has his Game Face on
And has adorned himself with Racing Stripes
There's an extra Pep in his Step
As he keeps up the pace
    And the pressure behind Digger
       



There are rumors swirling that a certain Someone
has swapped out The Bunny's Batteries ... For Duds
   


Post Time Mike has a lead
    And is Hot in Pursuit




Catalina is On the Go ... "Pole Trolling" 
And picks up RQ and Roamin along the way
   



It's a long way back to the rest of The Pack ....
   



Cruzan appears to be out on a Joyride and
Not so concerned keeping up with the pace
     


Ruffian ~ Dusty ~ Tiger Dancer
So far back .... They're in The Twilight Zone
 


  Purrrhaps they have gotten into 
Ruff's Secret Stash of "Special Brownies"
     



                    ~~DOWN THE STRETCH~~



      And Down the Stretch They Come
    Heading towards the Alter / Finish Line....
