A Little Bit UnBalanced Field Today
A 'Disadvantage' To The Colts...?

But That Has Never Stopped The Colt Brigade This Year!

They Have Been Intimidating, Incredible and almost UnStoppable!

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

Leading Off From The Rail PP #1

RUFFIAN
2010 BOTS Champion
Runner Up:
Super Saturday
Midweek Mayhem
HOTY

This Feisty + Fractious FILLY Is Always A Handful both in the Post
Parade and AT the Gate

Her Dancing + Prancing may be Entertaining to her Fans, but not to her
connections who often see her best energy used up by the time the gate
opens!

She is Capable of springing A 'Cheetah' Like late run but also can run
like a Lazy PussyCat on some days!

Her last 2 efforts have been Lack-Lustre
and very disappointing to her fans...

But we never know WHEN or IF the Cheetah may Pounce back again!

She Goes Off At: 13/1


In PP #2
HORSE CRAZY GAL {HCG}

This Newcomer Energetic FILLY is a Maiden no more --
but has yet to find her best running style

She is an Enthusiastic runner and always gives her ALL in every race ~

She is Heart + Courage wrapped up into a Dynamic package who with time
and experience will emerge as a Star

She Is At: 11/1


In PP #3
CRIMINAL TYPE
2009 MVP

This Older Stallion who was nearly retired after a Dismal 2010 season,
has rewarded
his connections + fans, with an Amazing year so far

He has accomplished a rare 3-peat as well as some other impressive wins
and is a contender for HOTY

He does have his 'off days' but then most do, don't they ~ And He Can
always spring a surprise in the final furlongs

He Goes Off At: 4/1


In PP #4
D U S T Y
2010 Super Saturday Champion
2010 Handicapper Of The Year

This Exciting FILLY can never be counted out in any race, at any
distance!

Her record this year has not quite lived up to her performances of last
season but her last TWO Races have been Impressive, Reminding her fans
of WHY She is the Reigning HOTY!

She Goes Off At: 7/2


In PP #5
K D (DC)
2010 Most Improved Award

'The Comeback-Kid' As This Entertaining COLT is affectionately called
by his fans is the Clown of the Field...

He can pull 'Shockers' out of his Bridle
as he passes the front runners, leaving them looking Dazed + Confused as
he Zooms on by!

He has run some exceptional races this season to the extent of being in
contention for a year end award again!

Our Favorite Today At: 5/2


In PP #6
INTO THE MYSTIC
2010 Midweek Mayhem Champion

Super Speedy, Super Sonic ...
This Outstanding FILLY has not quite lived up to her Past Performance
Record of last season, but she is always capable of returning to that
fine form again!

She often surges to the lead but for some unknown reason has failed to
fire a strong closing kick...

But that can always change in a heartbeat and can show why she is the
Reigning Midweek Mayhem Champion!

She Goes Off At: 8/1


In PP #7
REAL QUIET
2010 MVP

This Exceptional COLT has an Outstanding Past Performance Record and
more often than not, gets a paycheck

He has had some incredible races this year and must be considered a
major threat in any race on any day!

He also is a contender for year end honors this season

He Is At: 7/1


In PP #8
TIGER DANCER

New to the Track this year, this Exciting FILLY Broke the Track Record
in just her 3rd start as a Maiden!

She has 3 BOTS Wins already this year and is a contender for that Award

However she has an issue with Railbirds and her Focus gets so distracted
that it often costs her a placement

'It Ain't Easy Bein Green'
seems to be her Battle Cry!

Blinkers On Today!

She Goes Off At: 7/1

We Now Turn U Over To
Our Track Announcer

VENGEFUL WILDCAT

The Horses are All Loaded without Incident other than HCG a bit hesitant
to enter her gate...

And...
THEY'RE OFF In The BOTS Challenge

Leaving with A Surge taking the early lead
CRIMINAL TYPE ~ DUSTY ~ ITM
Neck and Neck the 3 take command

Just In Behind The Front Running Trio

RUFFIAN + TIGER-DANCER

Running Next Are KD + RQ
And HCG off a step slow is beginning
to get into stride


Heading Into The Clubhouse Turn

With An Impressive Move...
DUSTY Has Separated Herself
from the Field by 3 Lengths trying to win for the Fillies

CRIMINAL TYPE
Looking Sharp today is keeping her Honest & putting on the pressure
to win for the Colts

K D has been moving strongly all along
And is just in behind Criminal-Type

ITM + TIGER DANCER
Are neck and neck behind the front runners

REAL QUIET + RUFFIAN
Losing a little ground on the Turn
are running next

And HORSE CRAZY GAL trails

With Half The Race Left To Run
DUSTY Is In Command

But Anything Can Happen!
And Often Does!

Coming Out Of The Turn...

DUSTY in the lead but did NOT handle the Turn well at all, carrying KD
WIDE
And, Almost Clipping Heels...
(could be an Inquiry?)


She is losing Momentum badly and KD
seems to have handled the 'Incident' much better than she did!

CRIMINAL TYPE
Holding onto 2nd behind Dusty
and not showing signs of weakening

INTO THE MYSTIC
Has run well from the Gate and is gaining ground with every stride

REAL QUIET + RUFFIAN
Both running well behind the leaders

TIGER DANCER
Is All Out but losing ground

HORSE CRAZY GAL
Is Struggling with the track surface


And........
DOWN The STRETCH They Come!

DUSTY suddenly saw something that spooked her + it appears she may have
jumped a shadow...?

She is losing ground badly after having the lead From The Gate!

CRIMINAL TYPE
Is ALL Out and gaining on DUSTY
with every stride

But Wait A Minute
Someone is Flying On The Rail...
passing horses like they are in slow motion....

ITS........ITS .......ITS....

INTO THE MYSTIC!

She has run well the entire race from the gate but NOW she has Found
that 'Elusive-Quality' called A Closing Kick
and is Moving like A Tornado!

Its Looking Like A Stampede To The Wire

DUSTY + CRIMINAL TYPE
KD next is All Out
INTO THE MYSTIC ~
Faster Than A Speeding Bullet

And At The Wire....
PHOTO FINISH FOR TOP 4!

INQUIRY FLASHING: #5 + #4
