FROM RUFFIAN:

Good Afternoon & Welcome To
THE FAIR GROUNDS

Our Very Special Event Today
Replacing The Ruffarama S

The REAL~QUIET Birthday Stakes

Presented By:
Snap-Crackle-Pop Kitty-TidBits
(The NOT So Real-Quiet Treats)

Today Being Run At: 1/18 M

Due To Missed Flights We Have
Had Several Scratches

Now Let's Meet The Field

Leading Off Alone In PP #1
RUFFIAN

Due to her Shenanigans in the Paddock and Post Parade, some trainers
have requested she come out first or last to avoid trouble!

She is a very Fractious & Feisty FILLY
who entertains her Fans with her Cat-Like-Dancing but much to the
chagrin of her trainer, often leaves her Best Effort IN the Gate!

After several very disappointing Dismal races she rebounded in glorious
Cheetah-Like Fashion in her last start to Pounce from Last to First in
an amazing
Wild-Rush of Energy

Hopefully that effort did not take too much out of her today
She goes off at: 3/1


In PP #2
CRIMINAL TYPE

Following some very serious Gate Incidents and injury, This
'Ole-War-Horse'
veteran Stallion has bounced back in grande fashion in his last start
much to the delight of his fans

His earlier spring campaign showed little
but his Summer and Fall races showed us some Brilliant efforts reminding
us of why and how he won awards last season

If and When he is at 100% fit...
He can loom a threat in any race at any distance

He is At: 9/2


In PP #3
EL PRADO

A very Talented and Well Bred FILLY who due to some serious Health
issues this year has been off her game in many of her races

But when she is healthy and fit...
she is a Mighty Warrior Princess!

She can bounce exquisitely from a horrible performance into a Winning
one
which she ALMOST did in her last start in THIS Series only losing out in
the final furlongs to the 'Cheetah~Girl'

NEVER COUNT HER OUT

She goes off at: 6/1

In PP #4
INTO THE MYSTIC

A SuperSonic Speedy FILLY who rarely Disappoints her devoted Fans

She may not always Win but she rarely place out of the money

Her last 2 Efforts were very strong even tho she finished 3rd but only
by a short nostril whisker!

She is Dangerous in any race!
She is at: 5/1


In PP #5
K D
The Most Improved runner this season, this COLT can Spring a Surprise in
any race at any moment...

Just when U think he is out of it...
He comes out of the clouds like a Tornado to shock those he passes!

This shorter distance should suit him
better for his racing style as we have seen in the past

He goes off at: 7/1


In PP #6
DUSTY
This year this Incredible FILLY has shone like A Super~Star in THIS
Series!

She Has OUT-RUN ~
OUT-CLASSED ~ OUT-SHINED
Her competition in so many races with a Breathtaking Last-To-First
Zenyatta-Look-Alike closing kick that when she fails to Surprise her
Fans with that Shocker......

They go home feeling Let Down

Unfortunately... THAT is exactly what happened in her Last 2 Races

She has run SO well in SO many races that sooner or later it can take a
toll

But...
She also is Capable of Springing back like A Monster Rubber Band...
and Shocking the Front Runners once again with her Spectacular Closing
Run!

Compared to her last 3 races at 7/5
She is at 10/1 Today

And she may very well make a fool of
the bettors!


In PP #7
The Birthday Boy: REAL QUIET

An Exceptionally Well Bred COLT
who has finally rebounded with some impressive efforts after a
lack-lustre beginning of the season

He is more than Capable of running
extremely well if only he can maintain his FOCUS on Running > Not
Fillies!

BLINKERS ON has seemed to help in
his recent races and they are ON again
today!

He Goes Off At: 8/1


We Now Turn U Over To
Our Track Announcer

CHEETAH GIRL

All the Horses are in their gates except for RUFFIAN who is pulling her
Shenanigans
and showing NO signs of wanting to go in
Or Run!

She has tossed her Jockey who is waiting to get back on...

NOT a Good Sign for her fans at all

Now CRIMINAL TYPE also is acting up
and is having to be blindfolded and led in

OK FINALLY We Are Ready To Go!

And... They're Off...

Like A July 4th Rocket....

DUSTY has EXPLODED right out of the gate to take a Commanding Early
Lead...

REAL QUIET is next about 5 Lengths back

EL PRADO showing good early speed is right there just a neck off of RQ

INTO THE MYSTIC off to a slow start
has not yet gotten into gear...

RUFFIAN + CRIMINAL-TYPE are
the early trailers...
so far behind the field they appear to be running in their own time zone

Heading into the Clubhouse Turn

WOW!

Dusty's Lead has just been SHATTERED as TWO have FLOWN past her like she
was in Slow Motion!

EL PRADO On the Rail...
+ KD On the Far outside

BOTH with Super-Sonic-Speed have taken the Lead by at least 10 Lengths
shocking the rest as they flew by!

EL PRADO with only a NOSE in front
of KD is moving along strongly and neither is showing signs of weakening
yet

DUSTY is holding onto 3rd behind the Front Running Duo

REAL QUIET is next just a Length behind DUSTY

INTO THE MYSTIC is now beginning to
find her best stride

CRIMINAL TYPE with a slight show of energy is next but not looking like
he wants to run at all.... and

RUFFIAN TRAILS....
Her Jockey is fighting her the whole way

But we still have HALF The Rest Left To Run and as we all know...

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

Coming Out Of The Clubhouse Turn...

DUSTY was Carried SO WIDE by CRIMINAL-TYPE who is Veering out badly that
Dusty nearly came into the Stands!
--- losing all her Momentum....
Could be a Jockey objection...?

EL PRADO + KD
Neck & Neck with a lead that is so far
ahead of the field it would take a Zenyatta like run to even catch them
now...


INTO THE MYSTIC
Is moving strongly up the middle of the track with NEW Surge of
energy...
closing on the leaders quickly

THERE GOES RUFFIAN...

She FINALLY found her stride and is moving up FAST on the Inside Rail...

REAL QUIET is moving strong and steady but with a lot of ground to make
up after jumping a Shadow coming out of the Turn

And DOWN The STRETCH They Come

EL PRADO and KD neck and neck...
Neither one giving in...

The FILLY & The COLT
in A BATTLE to the Wire...

Tiz A MATCH RACE now...

KD is all out and only A Whisker would Separate these two

INTO THE MYSTIC
With a BOLD Huge Move has moved up
into 3rd...

RUFFIAN is gaining on the Rail

DUSTY has now dropped back
and is backing up

REAL QUIET looking leg weary is next

CRIMINAL TYPE is being eased...

And Here Is The WIRE...

TOO CLOSE TO CALL!
PHOTO FINISH for the WIN
