Good Afternoon and Welcome To
LAUREL PARK RACETRACK


Our Feature Race Today Is The
RUFFARAMA STAKES


The Horses Are Now Entering The Track for our Post Parade


Leading them off is:
CRIMINAL TYPE
An older Stallion who may have
Snow on the Roof ---
But Fire in the Furnace!

Lately he has suffered from a previous
gate injury and has not indicated that he is back in his usual winning form
He was Vanned off in his last 2 races
He will go off at odds of 15/1

In Post Postion #2
DUSTY
A Filly Who is a Threat in any race
because of her running style

She is like another version of the Great-Zenyatta!

Never consider the leader has won untill this Filly comes a runnin late in the race
---- closing with a tremendous kick!

In her Last 2 races tho, this Filly totally changed her running style and went for the Early Lead -
And winnng one of them gate to wire!
She will leave the gate at 9/2

In Gate #3
KD
Another Stallion who always runs with great determination, and never knows the word Quit!

He is always full of run and rarely runs a poor race and usually is in the money on the toteboard!

He has finished 1st or 2nd in his last few starts and seems ready to run big today

He goes off as the favorite 5/2

In Post Position #4
RUFFIAN
A Feisty Filly who often displays her 'Shenanigans' in the Post Parade and starting gate - tossing her jockey!

She is inconsistent and can win one race only to finish last in her next start

She Won her last race and was 2nd in the race before that one
She will leave the gate at 7/2


In Gate 5
ELITE MERCEDES
This is a Classy Filly who always is
In-It-To-Win-It!

She rarely has a poor performance and shows up 'More Than Ready' to run every time!
She will go off at odds of 6/1

Rounding out the Field in PP #6
INTO-THE-MYSTIC (aka: ITM)
This Filly broke her maiden in this series last race with determination and style

Based on her other past performances she seems ready to run today with a big effort
She goes off at 9/1

We now turn you over to our
Track Announcer:

COURAGEOUS CAT

Thank you Trevor

The Horses are standing quietly now after having waited for CRIMINAL TYPE to enter the gate -
apparently not much into running today

And--- AWAAAAAAAAY They Go

Going for the Early Lead are
DUSTY + RUFFIAN
With KD right at their heels...

Following that Trio are

INTO-THE-MYSTIC
ELITE MERCEDES
CRIMINAL TYPE

3 across the track around 3 lengths
behind the front runners

Heading into the Far Turn

RUFFIAN has fired on all Cylinders
turning on the heat and putting her nose in front of KD
who is staying right at her neck

DUSTY has dropped back by 2 lengths
and ELITE MERCEDES - ITM and
CRIMINAL-TYPE have yet to start their
engines!

At the Top of the Stretch

RUFFIAN has found yet another gear and is moving strongly

But K D is showing NO signs of letting her run away with the race!

He is as determined today as we have ever seen him run

ELITE MERCEDES has moved into 3rd but she is 5 lengths behind the front 2 leaders

DUSTY is struggling to keep up with
Into-The-Mystic + CRIMINAL-TYPE all
about 8 lengths behind the front pair

And Down The Stretch They Come!

RUFFIAN + KD neck and neck with
RUFFIAN just a half head in front...

ELITE MERCEDES holds steady in 3rd

DUSTY is holding onto 4th with

INTO-THE-MYSTIC IN 5TH

CRIMINAL TYPE Is being pulled up and will cross the finish line last -
we can see the Vet Ambulance waiting
and wish his connections good luck with the exam back at the barn

AT THE WIRE:

ITS RUFFIAN holding on as her small nose hits the wire just in front of KD who ran a spectacular race as well!

ELITE MERCEDES holds on for Show

INTO THE MYSTIC > Superfecta

Congrats to Ruffian, who dashed through the snow to beat me in my old Maryland stomping grounds!

And let's all hope CT is back in racing form before those PETA crazies call the... :police:

Whoa there Ruffian
did you get a new farrier or what?
first the midweek - then super-saturday too
well congrats + kudos on whatever it is that has fired you up - good 4 U

as for me?

I think maybe Age + achybones have caught up with me but vet says that if I change diet and get specially made racing shoes I may make a comeback in time

sure hope so b/c at this stage of life not much else I'm good for and probably not a lot of interest in me as a Stud
:embarassed:
