Good Afternoon And Welcome To:
GULFSTREAM PARK

OUR FEATURE RACE

The RUFFARAMA Stakes
Presented By:
MEOW MIX

With the late Scratch of the Filly
ELITE MERCEDES

We have A Fine Field of 7 runners

The Horses are entering the track

Leading them off
in PP #1

KD
A muchly Improving Stallion who seems to be getting better at longer distances
rather than sprints

IF He runs true to his recent form he should be a Major Threat today with the Blinkers back on and new shoes!

He goes off at odds of: 6/1

Out of Gate #2
DUSTY
Here we have a FILLY who can grab the early lead like a rocket and manage to hold onto to win

OR she can give away many lengths to the field and make one dynamic run to the wire often getting there first or photo
for the win

When she does this, some call her the 'Lil-Zenyatta!'

She has been a bit off form lately tho

She leaves at 8/1

In Post Position #3
REAL QUIET
A Stallion who is all Determination and Ambition ---

Who, more often than not hits the tote board, sprinting to the wire in a dramatic rush to win or photo
He goes off at 5/1

Out of Gate #4
INTO-THE-MYSTIC
One Classy FILLY who usually leaves the gate like a FireCracker... and
often arrives at the wire first---
Or in a Photo for 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Lately she has been on an El-Caliente streak with 3 firsts and a 2nd

She is 2nd choice today @ 3/1

In Post Position #5
ALEX-P
A FILLY who took some time off for R+R
and who recently returned to the Races
in Excellent form

Winning her last start with a Dynamic rush > Last to First

She is the PTF @ 5/2

Out Of Gate #6
CRIMINAL TYPE
An older stallion who seems to be showing signs of slowing down this season compared to his top form last year

He has managed to win a race setting a new track record but more often is either eased at the wire, or vanned off...
He goes off at: 12/1

Rounding out the Field
In PP #7
RUFFIAN
A Frisky, Feisty FILLY whose connections are never really sure which Ruffian will show up that day to run

The Flashy Winner
OR
The Pathetic Performer in Last
Its anybody's guess!

The Horses are all in except for CRIMINAL-TYPE who has tossed his jockey entering the gate

He is being blindfolded and led in
ALL are ready now

And Awaaaaay They Go!

BIG Bowl Of MEOW-MIX
with a Side Dish of Anchovies
TO:
DUSTY (Lil~Z) with an outstanding closing run!

With only yards to go to the wire, running in KD's Shadow with everything she had--
Calling upon her 'Inner~Zenyatta'

Dusty managed a Spectacular finish in R10 due to her main choice Scratching
and her ALT providing the WINNING $$ of $25.40 To Pass KD at the wire

Lil~Z managed 3 Firsts
and four 2nds..

KUDOS To KD!

He Led almost the entire race and mustered up
4 Firsts / two 2nds
and Lost Right AT The Wire!

For his 2nd Place
KD will Get A New Scratching-Post to take out his Aggression

An Impressive Race he ran with the Blinkers back on!

Papa Got Some Brand New Shoes Too!

A Good Race Was Run By All!

Nice closing run, Dusty. Knew I had some decent hits but didn't actually expect to win, so my nifty new scratching post won't get too much of a workout today.
I'll keep it within claws reach just in case, though. It's sure to come in handy before too long.

Stewards determined that DUSTY was IN The LEAD approaching the wire even tho a photo WAS called for

She led KD by $1.90
going into R10!

That SCRATCH of Anita
is who Dusty should thank b/c it was her ALTERNATE who gave her the whopping $25.40

However
with a Zero in R10 by KD DUSTY Still woulda Won if only by $1.90

'Lil~Z' MUCH THE BEST
but KD ran one helluva race as well

Those Blinkers really did the trick!

Victster:
Don't recall seeing your name before but always happy to see new ppl involved in our Midweek + Super-Saturday contests

Perhaps next time you can join in and play?

New Players always Welcome!
The More The Merrier

Wowza Dusty one or should I say Vickster?

Did not realize that was one in same till I saw the photo of
'From the Clouds' which so typlifies YOUR own running style in most races

or as Ruff says like the Great one and only Zenyatta!

I agree with her about you being 'Little Z'
cute name that fits

Congrats on an impressive Win!

And KD you have nothing to be ashamed about with your own amazing total!

Maybe I need to get me some blinkers and new shoes too?

At least I had 2 big 'hits' that kept me in very close proximity with that Filly Alex!

Being wedged tween Alex and Ruffian is not such a bad way to lose a game!
wink-wink-nudge-nudge
Just ask RQ :wink:

:embarassed: :huh: :embarassed:


OH - DUH!

VICKSTER aka DUSTY

OH-I-C
SAYS THE BLIND FILLY!

Never even connected it before getting email from Dusty of name change

Never even noticed the photo of the horse + name!

I STILL Think IF there is a name change in order LIL~Z or
Little-Z or LIL_ZENYATTA fits Dusty way more!

But ~ thats just me!
I see her race finishes very similar
to the Great Z

So just ignore my 'Welcoming' to the NEW player thingy!

I shall now have some Humble Pie + Crow for Dessert! :embarassed:
