    RESULTS Super Saturday 5/22

    Good Afternoon and Welcome To
    CHURCHILL DOWNS


    Our Feature Today Is The
    RUFFARAMA Stakes
    Presented By: MEOW MIX

    Being Run Today At 1 1/4 M

    The Horses are Entering The Track
    for the Post Parade

    Leading Off in PP #1
    RUFFIAN
    A Feisty + Fractious FILLY who can win a race only to finish Last in her next start!

    She is known for her 'Shenanigans' during the Post Parade and at the Gate, often tossing her Jockey!

    Her connections never know which Ruffian will show up on any given day and keep making changes in diet and equipment to find just the right balance

    She goes off at 6/1

    In PP #2
    CRIMINAL TYPE
    An Older STALLION who was Brilliant in his races last year only to flash moments of greatness this season

    He has the breeding and determination to run well but age may be taking a toll - But ---
    He did break a Track Record this year
    So we can never count him out!
    He leaves at 7/1



    In the #3 Post
    EL PRADO
    A very talented FILLY who usually hits the board or comes up short in a photo
    She rarely runs a poor race

    She goes off at 4/1


    Out of Gate #4
    REAL QUIET
    A STALLION who lately has begun to find his best stride after a dismal start to the year

    His recent efforts have shown a brand new Determination and Energy and winning his last race makes him
    our Favorite at 5/2

    In PP #5
    ELITE MERCEDES
    This FILLY is all class as her name suggests but lately has been struggling in her races

    Her diet has been adjusted and she has BLINKERS ON today which her connections think could be the answer
    She seems to be really HOT and
    on her toes in the Post Parade!

    She goes off at 9/1

    Out of Gate #6
    DUSTINO
    After a brief time off for R + R this STALLION is back today

    His past performances have shown he is a force to be dealt with in any race!

    He never lacks for energy and focus
    He will leave at 7/2


    In PP #7
    DUSTY
    A very exciting FILLY who can either Amaze or Baffle her connections + fans

    She can be INCREDIBLE in a race only to show nothing much in her next start

    She can take the early lead and challenge
    the rest to catch her

    OR
    Hang way back and close with A Tremendous Surge to win or at least hit the tote board

    Nobody ever knows how she will run on any day!
    Her last race was Impressive!
    She goes off at 9/2


    In Gate #8
    INTO THE MYSTIC
    A Super-Sonic FILLY who more often than not is in the Winners circle or in the money

    She is often seen in the PHOTO Finishes
    but not always the winner

    Very rarely does this Filly run a bad race
    She is at 3/1


    In PP #9
    BENG
    This STALLION has had some time off and returns today looking bright-eyed and bushy tailed in the post parade

    The R + R must have helped as he is on his toes today!
    He leaves at 8/1


    Out of Gate #10
    KD
    This STALLION tries hard in every race but often fails to fire with a late kick
    and todays longer distance may not be to his liking

    He goes off at 10/1

    We Now Turn You Over To Our
    Track Announcer

    ALPHA CAT

    Thank You Trevor

    DUSTY + RUFFIAN are both being a handful not wanting to go into the gate with RUFFIAN tossing her Jockey!

    The rest of the horses are standing quietly as these 2 temperamental Fillies are giving everyone a headache trying to get the race underway!

    OK!
    ALL ARE LOADED

    And Awaaaaay They Go!

    FIVE across the track ALL going for the early lead!

    REAL QUIET
    ELITE MERCEDES
    DUSTINO
    INTO THE MYSTIC
    BENG

    The 2nd tier is made up of
    EL PRADO
    CRIMINAL TYPE
    KD

    RUFFIAN + DUSTY are the early trailers having left a lot of their race IN the Gate!
    They now trail the field by about 8 Lengths

    Heading into the Clubhouse Turn

    ELITE MERCEDES with a Powerful Move has surged on the inside rail to take the Lead!

    EL PRADO is picking up the pace now

    But THERE GOES RUFFIAN
    like A Rocket on the far Outside up
    into 2nd a Length off of Elite-Mercedes

    DUSTY with a Bold Move has moved up into 3rd!

    DUSTINO has dropped back suddenly losing a lot of ground and may have lost a shoe

    EL PRADO consistently staying strong
    and is in 4th now

    BENG is running 5th

    REAL QUIET Is Next

    INTO THE MYSTIC just a head behind RQ

    KD is not yet picking up his pace yet after a slow start

    And CRIMINAL-TYPE has not begun his usual Closing run And still Trails the Field by at least 10 Lengths

    But we have HALF the race yet to run and it could be Anyone's Race to Win!

    At the Head of the Stretch

    Its All ELITE MERCEDES in the lead

    RUFFIAN is losing ground - looks like she threw a Shoe and her Jockey has lost the whip
    but she is not quitting yet

    DUSTY is super strong on the Rail
    moving up into 2nd now a head in front of Ruffian

    And DOWN-THE-STRETCH-THEY-COME

    Someone is moving like A Tornado along the inside rail but I can't quite see who it is
    b/c the entire field is running like a Stampede to the Wire with ELITE-MERCEDES still in command...

    WAIT A Minute!

    Its the Old WarHorse -
    CRIMINAL~TYPE
    Flying like the Wind ....
    FROM DEAD LAST

    BUT - CAN HE GET THERE IN TIME?

    CRIMINAL-TYPE has just FLOWN
    by ELITE MERCEDES and has taken the lead

    He is moving like the Amtrak-Express
    ~ leaving the field in his Wake!

    HERE'S THE WIRE

    And its ALL CRIMINAL-TYPE today folks
    From Last to First like An AK-47!

    ELITE MERCEDES holds on for 2nd
    She was SO brilliant in the last quarter-mile
    only to be OutRun by an Express Train

    DUSTY just edging out RUFFIAN
    for the Show spot with a Super-Sonic Closing Run!

    RUFFIAN
    Finishes up in 4th after being Super-Strong in the middle of the race, taking the Lead
    only to have the bad luck of
    throwing a shoe and lost all her momentum

    BENG
    He ran very strong in the first Half only to back up and finish 5th

    KD
    Seemed to be consistent throughout the race but did not have the Stamina to hold on at this distance
    and finishes in 6th

    REAL QUIET
    He looked Strong in the first half of the race
    then faded to finish 7th

    EL PRADO
    Was also was a Bullet in the 1st-half
    fading fast at the halfway mark to finish 8th

    INTO-THE-MYSTIC
    She never really fired today and will have an examination back at the barn b/c this
    is very UNlike her running style
    She seemed to have something bothering her during the Post Parade

    She finishes in 9th

    DUSTINO was never really 'In It' today
    he too will have a complete check up after being Vanned Off just after the wire

    Re: RESULTS Super Saturday 5/22

    Post Race Notes:

    Amazing Win from Last-To-First!
    Here is What Clinched It!

    CRIMINAL TYPE did what is suggested in RULES
    regarding TURF Races!

    It says you CAN ADD OFF TURF PIX beneath your regular entry
    And B/C he DID with the #13 Winner R7
    to the tune of: $26.80

    Plus the Synchronicity + Irony of WHY
    In R8 he used LLAMARADA the GrandDaughter
    of yep U guessed it > Criminal Type
    who paid off at $43

    Thats what gave him the Win!

    ELITE MERCEDES
    On almost any other day YOU woulda Won!
    Excellent Come-Back from your recent races as well and glad to see it!

    DUSTY
    After a terrible start you really fired up in the middle of the race, dropped off a bit but regained your stride nearing the wire

    RUFFIAN
    Also off to a Horendous beginning -
    finding a new energy midway thru but then the misfortune of both tossing a shoe and jockey losing the whip cost her the show spot

    BENG
    Was extremely game in the first mile but seemed to lose energy in the final quarter
    Could be the distance was just too much this time

    KD
    Had moments of Sparkle only to drop back then make another run several times
    Never seemed quite comfortable with track surface and we expect better next race

    REAL QUIET
    Started off very evenly...
    seemed contented midpack but never really Fired up enough energy and drive to move up to the front runners

    Just the ole BOUNCE Effect from an Incredible Win last time

    Should bounce back to good form next out

    EL PRADO
    Started off like a House-on-Fire and totally collapsed after the Mile marker
    Something may be bothering her and she will be totally checked out back at the barn

    Definitely not the way this Filly usually runs

    INTO THE MYSTIC
    One of the Stunning performances of the day
    for a Filly who is almost ALWAYS in the money in any race and often in a Photo for the win!
    She too will get a full examination to see what might have caused this dismal effort today

    DUSTINO
    Now we all know what this Stallion is capable of
    so today's Lack-Luster effort is a mind-boggler
    He too will get a total check up to see WHY

    We expect a 180 Reverse Bounce Next Race!

    Congrats + A Big Bowl of Meow-Mix
    to CRIMINAL TYPE for his foresight
    in posting OFF-TURF-PIX
    and his 'Namesake's' GrandDaughter Winning!

    Nice to see the 'Ole-Boy' BACK!
    Well Done

    =^..^=

    who you calling an old boy!

    maybe Im getting better with age like fine wine
    or just run faster when that Benny the blade is behind me!

    was a hell of a run trying to catch up to that Elite Mercedes tail much less go past her
    and I owe it all the the granddaughter of the original Criminal Type

    now I need a beer and some oats and lots of sleep before Bots Wednesday!
    hope I dont bounce and let the colts down
