OK - confused on a higher level. Racing office has 1A scratched in race #7 and no mention of #6 scratched in race #8. Guess we'll just have to wait for the equibase scratches to come out. That's why I hate these early morning race starts - can never get the scratches sorted out.

FROM RUFFIAN:

Good Afternoon & Welcome To
Super Saturday At Pimlico

Our Feature Event Today
The Ruffarama Stakes

Presented By:
Kerfuffle Catnip Crunchies

Today Run At 1 1/4 M

We've had a couple of scratches
leaving us with a fine field of 13

The Horses Are Entering The Track
Now ~ Let's Meet The Field


Leading Them Out In PP #1
BALLERINA

Here's a Filly who should consider
a new name like 'Salsa Queen'
because in many of her races, she fires like a Hot Tamale!

She has missed a little training time
lately so may not be running at 100%
but if she is ...... Heat Alert!

She Goes Off At: 6/1


In PP #2
DUSTY
2010 HOTY

This Extremely Talented Filly was at the top of her game in 2010 but due
to circumstances beyond her control,
lost a step last season

She has returned this year running
much better and is beginning to find
her excellent form again

She has a mixed bag of good and bad
races this season so far but she always
is in it to win it and even if the wire
comes too soon, she is back and ready
to rock and roll again in the next race

She Goes Off At: 12/1


In PP #3
ALGOBBI

A Veteran Runner who has a very good past performance record but tends
to miss a lot of training time, not racing as often as others in here
today

He is very capable of running a good race
but remains a Question Mark every time
he enters the gate

We just never know what to expect
He Goes Off At: 15/1


In PP #4
RED GOD

A Newcomer to this Series this Colt
is the 'Unknown Factor' today

His Past Performance record shows
great ability but he runs as a Maiden
here today

We Wish Him Well!
He Goes Off At: 25/1


In PP #5
R S A (DC)

Missing a lot of racing and training time
this Talented Colt returned this season with Determination ~ New Energy
and a Dazzling Desire to Win!

And that's exactly what he did in his
last race with a Gutsy Explosive run
to the wire just nosing out the Amazing GDQH for the win

He appears to be on his toes today
looking to repeat that last effort

He Goes Off At: 5/2


In PP #6
EL PRADO

A Super Classy Filly who, over the years has shown just how very
talented she is

Having lost a lot of training time last year
due to various health issues, she returned this season to fire on all
cylinders and looks like the excellent
filly we have seen run and win for so long

She has finished 4th in her last 2 starts
in very close photo finishes
so she may not yet be running at 100%

She Goes Off At: 5/1


In PP #7
REAL QUIET

Nothing Quiet about this Colt!

He somehow manages to play the
'Bridesmaid; in photo finishes more
often than any other we have seen!

But make no mistake about it
He is one super spectacular Colt
and when he has his running shoes
on, he can be a threat in any race, at any distance on any day!

He never fails to give his all right
to the wire

He Will Go Off At: 9/2


In PP #8
HORSE CRAZY GAL
2011 Most Improved Award

This Fab Filly does not know
the meaning of the word QUIT!

She is All Heart every time she runs and it matters not how far back she
may be
in the final furlongs, she never stops
and gives up the challenge!

She has been a bit off her game lately
but with time she is sure to return
to the winning efforts she displayed
in the past

She Goes Off At: 15/1


In PP #9
K D
2011 Distorted Humor Award

This Clown of a Colt never fails
to entertain his devoted fans with his antics that sometimes, cost him
a
winning effort!

He is affectionately called
The ComeBack Kid by his fans
who just love it when suddenly without warning he Explodes down the lane
in the final furlongs....

Not always getting to the wire first ~
He still has the crowd on their feet
screaming....
COME ON! COME ON!

His last 2 races have been very
dismal disappointing efforts as he
is capable of much better

A Very Exciting Colt To Watch
He Goes Off At: 25/1


In PP #10
TY88

A Filly who exploded onto the racing scene this year with Spectacular
super strong races

She has already WON 5 MM Races
including 3 BOTS wins for the Fillies!
As well as a SS Win

IF she can continue her winning ways
she is heading towards a year end award
or maybe more than one?

She Goes Off At 9/2


In PP #11
GotaDun-QH (GDQH)

Here's a Filly who burst onto the racing scene with Flair and Flourish
to easily show everyone she belongs with the best

She has won in both the MM & SS Series
of races but has finished in Photo Finishes
in many more!

Her last 2 Races were examples of that
missing the Win by A short pretty Nose

She is definitely a Force to reckon with
and can never be counted out

She Goes Off At: 3/1


In PP #12
CRIMINAL TYPE
2011 HOTY
SS Champion
MM Champion
BOTS Champion
Colt Of The Year
Race Of The Year
New Track Record ($244)

Nobody in the history of these challenges
has ever won that many awards in a single season, yet this Ole War Horse
Did
just that, after nearly being Retired!

One More SHOT was all his fans asked
And he responded with Excellent AIM
shooting down all the competition

However, this season the Top Dog
seems to have slowed down and only
now and then shows the Brilliance he
displayed last year

But never doubt for a moment
he can surprise with a winning effort
IF and When he feels like it!

He has proven that by winning 3 SS
races and a MM BOTS Day for the Colts

He Goes Off At: 15/1


In PP #13
RUFFIAN
2011 Filly Of The Year

A Cheetah Or A Cheshire Lazy Cat?
Nobody ever knows which will run

This Feisty - Fractious - Frisky Filly
is a handful in the paddock & gate
and has tossed her jockeys more often
than any other we have seen

Rumor has it that they spend more time in the 'Sweat Box' so they can
add extra padding at race time!

The Cheetah has won 4 SS Races
and 3 MM Victories including 2 BOTS
for the Fillies

The Cheshire Cat has shown up more
often tho and nobody seems to know
just Why?

The Cheetah has Not shown up lately

She Goes Off At: 23/1

Congrats you guys! Way to go Ballerina!! Thanks for scoring and the call Ruff!

[Real Quiet]

Congrats to Ballerina on an outstanding Preakness Day win and for breaking the century mark. Nicely done Bal. Kudos to Red God and RSA for making some virtual cash and to GotaDunQH for rounding out the super. Thanks to Ruff for keeping the scores.

[horsecrazygal21]

Congrats on the win Bal!

I'm impressed with consistency of my totals lately but disappointed that it's just not enough to get me back to my last season form. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

[Ballerina]

Thanks Ruffian for correcting my total to $103.80. Love the winning margin to be as big as possible. And, thanks for all the hard work running these contests.

Thanks GDQH and Real Quiet who never fail to acknowledge the winners.

Congrats to place and show - newcomer Red God (good show first time out of the gate) and RSA.

[Dusty]

Ballerina - OUTSTANDING! Very impressive!

[GotaDunQH]

Congrats on the win Bal!

I'm impressed with consistency of my totals lately but disappointed that it's just not enough to get me back to my last season form. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

You do all right for yourself, you are always right up there!! Sometimes you CAN overthink it, so just go with your gut or throw caution to the wind and go out on a limb...LOL.
