Good Afternoon And Welcome To
HOLLYWOOD PARK

Our Feature Race Presented By:
MEOW MIX
The 11th running of
THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Gender Challenge!

So far in the series the FILLIES lead
6--4 but the Stallions are closing fast!

Winning for the Fillies:
DR JOHN H
ELITE MERCEDES x 2
DUSTY
RUFFIAN x 2

Winning for the Stallions:
CRIMINAL TYPE x 4

The horses are entering the track and leading them off is:

RUFFIAN
A very Feisty FILLY who often displays her Shenanigans in the Gate!

She is very inconsistent, winning a race and then finishing last in her next start
Because of this she goes off at 10/1


In Post Position 2
DUSTY
This is another inconsistent FILLY but one who can spring an upset in any race!

Front Runners Beware when this Filly comes a runnin!

She can come from last to first with a burst of energy like another ZENYATTA!

Never count her out until the last hoofprint crosses the finish line!

Having won her last race ....
She goes off as our favorite today 5/2


In Gate 3
CRIMINAL TYPE
An Older STALLION who shows NO signs of slowin down!

He appears to not be fully recovered from an earlier injury last month and in his last race was vanned off again after finishing last
Vet has given approval to run today

He will go off at 8/1

Leaving from Gate 4
ELITE MERCEDES
A very classy FILLY who tries hard in every race! She never gives up and never gives in

She is fairly consistent, and tho she may not hit the board in every race, rarely throws in a clunker!
She will go off at 4/1


In Gate 5
INTO THE MYSTIC (aka > ITM)
A newcomer to this Series this Filly has proven to be a strong runner in her other races and she should prove to be a great asset to the Filly contingency!
She goes off at odds of 9/2

In Post Position 6
K D
A Stallion with an amazing closing kick who should be A great help for the Stallions today, having won his last race and finishing 2nd in the previous 3 starts

He has had his running shoes on lately
And will go off at 3/1


We now turn you over to our
Track Announcer

WILDCAT GIRL

Thank you Trevor

The Horses are standing quietly after
being unloaded and reloaded when
CRIMINAL TYPE refused to go into the gate acting as if he does NOT want to run today!

And - Awaaaaaay They Go!

Going for the Early Lead like
TWIN--BULLETS out of the gate are
RUFFIAN + DUSTY leaving the field in their wake!

INTO THE MYSTIC is running 2nd with KD and ELITE-MERCEDES a length back and CRIMINAL TYPE Trails


Heading into the far turn...
K D has made a MONSTER MOVE taking the lead and challenging the rest to Catch-me-if-you-can!

DUSTY has now taken over 2nd just a neck behind the leader


ELITE MERCEDES has taken up the challenge and is running in 3rd as

INTO-THE-MYSTIC is holding steady
just a nose behind RUFFIAN...

CRIMINAL-TYPE has yet to find his running shoes... and trails...


At the Top of the Stretch its neck and neck with DUSTY giving her ALL for the FILLIES and KD breathing down her neck --- to win for the STALLIONS.......

And DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
KD AND DUSTY
Neck and Neck
Neither one giving in or giving up!

BUT WAIT..... !

Who's that closing on the inside rail like A Leopard about to Pounce on prey!

ITS RUFFIAN, closing in on DUSTY + KD
and taking over the lead just at the wire!

FILLIES WIN AGAIN!
This is RUFFIAN's 3rd Win For Fillies!

PHOTO FOR 2ND:
DUSTY - KD

IF #9 was PTF R6 > KD wins Photo
IF NOT: DUSTY holds onto 2nd!

Superfecta goes to
ELITE MERCEDES

INTO THE MYSTIC in 5th

CRIMINAL TYPE

This previous injury of Shin-Bruise has really bothered this horse in recent races

STEWARDS INQUIRY:

THE STEWARDS HAVE
REVERSED THE ORDER

DUSTY > 2nd
KD >>>> 3rd

So KD U can just blame that FU-PEG-HE-RAT!!!

I now know what ZENYATTA Feels like as she closes on the field to win! OMG!

At least I kind of lived up to my intro in the Post Parade:
'This filly can Win one race then finish Last in her next start!'

Only > I just 'Reversed' It
Last in last race - win next

Great job Dusty and KD!

Whoa!
One hell of a come-from-behind Win Ruff

I think your obsession with the Great Zenyatta influenced your running style today!

KD
I thought for sure YOU had it for us (the stallions) right up to the last minute and was cheering you on

I knew I was in trouble right out of the gate with that shin bruise pain acting up again

sorry to let the 'boys' down :embarassed: but after being vanned off last time, the track vet said I was good to go for this race

with only 4 WED left in DEC -
and we are trailing the Fillies 7/4
Ruff would have to lose 3 of them for us to even break even or lose all 4 for us to win

not likely but could happen? :tongue:
stranger has happened in racing!

kudos to the top 3 who ran with passion
and determination in a very close finish!
one of the most exciting in the series
