[S u N f r O s T ~]

Hello and welcome to Year Thirteen's Novizio Derby! After a rather surprising week of racing over at Green Horse Fields, we have switched over to the calmer waters of racing at The Wire. We are excited today to bring you the top class grade fives and fours in the industry, competing for the grand prize of entry to the Risorgimento Derby! This race is run over nine furlongs on the dirt. The top three finishers earn entry into the Risorgimento. Considering we have four starters today, that means only the last place horse won't make the cut! There's always the next qualifier next week if said horse is grade four though!

In the first gate, after two scratches, we have Radiation Therapy sent out from Bowen Acres Stable. This young juvenile is facing older horses today, and we certainly hope he's up to the task. He's a son of Radiance and Santana's Moment, so is obviously bred to take on the conditions of this race. Expect to see this handsome bay on the outside and stalking in the early stages of the race. He's done well in the latter part of the year, breaking his maiden and then contending in the Humana. Fading to fourth there, he broke out with another win just two weeks ago and is coming into this race hot and ready to go. He's really beautifully bred for this distance and surface and comes in ready to go.

GS Super Charged comes in next. He's a bit more of a known face around here, being one of the main contenders throughout the Canadian Triple Crown. He's a real sneaky one, known for his closing style and his quiet running. He's got an amazing kick in those legs of his and I expect we'll get a taste of it today. He's been running an impressive season against the best in his age division and I expect that this could be that breakout big win he's been searching for. We'll see! He's on one month of rest following his third in the Breeders Stakes and I think the competition could have their hands full.

Next we have Van Guard. This huge three year old is a real handful at the gates but a beautiful runner when he gets moving. His jockey Laura DeComte has been raising the rafters lately with her long shot wins. Van comes in here not as a long shot but as a pretty solid betting choice. This stalking type horse has a wonderful record under his belt and the ability to take this race. He hasn't been campaigned in the bigger races but he has been campaigned solidly. His latest start was a solid second three weeks ago and he's coming in well rested and ready to go.

Last in is Predator from returning Intrepid Racing Inc. He's the senior horse in the field, which could give him the advantage he needs coming off of a layoff. He hasn't raced since April Week One! It's ambitious to throw him in here, but he does stand a chance of surprising. His three year old season provided a solid body of work and he was seen working well earlier this week. He's the expected leader in today's race. His starts this season - a first and a second - state that he may be out for the win today. Stay tuned for more!

All four horses are in line...and they're off!

Predator broke like a rocket and he flies to the lead, already opening up a comfortable one or two length gap on the other horses. GS Super Charged breaks alertly and settles on down right at the back. The other two were off half a beat slow but pass Super Charged and settle on down next to each other. They're all settled and moving nicely now, and Predator leads them through a first quarter in twenty four flat. Solid fractons, just what we would expect from these well prepared racehorses.

Predator's a really beautiful mover. He's really settled down out there. Radiation Therapy is sticking to Van Guard like glue. I think jockey Carlos Sanchez is hoping to overcome Radiation Therapy's relative inexperience by running him alongside the more senior Van Guard. GS Super Charged is cruising cool as a cucumber two lengths behind that pack. He's looking great and I'd be getting worried if I was jockeying the other horses right now. Predator leads through a forty seven and four fifths half - a slightly quicker pace. The stallion's opening up now. He leads by three and increasing.

The pace is quickening and the jockeys are starting to get into position. Sanchez is trying to get his horse to the outside and DeComte is denying him at every turn. She's got Radiation Therapy pinned just where she wants him! Sanchez could find himself in a fix real soon, especially considering Radiation Therapy's experience level. There are three furlongs left to run and THERE GOES PREDATOR!! Adele Rogers says go on the stallion and he goes! He's off and widening that lead! Will there be no response?...

I SPOKE TOO SOON! GS Super Charged is closing on the outside like a freight train! The three year old's been denied one too many times and he's absolutely gunning for that lead! He's rolling right on by Van Guard and Radiation Therapy. Van Guard finally takes off as Super Charged guns past him, but he's not as quick as Super Charged is. That colt is absolutely gunning it now! He's caught up to Predator...Predator is fighting back...they have entered the final furlong! And Super Charged STORMS AWAY! There's no stopping this colt!

Predator is folding and finds his hooves full of Van Guard now. The two horses are battling it out, stride for stride, each full of heart. Radiation Therapy caved earlier in the race. He just doesn't have the experience to contend with these guys today. They're approaching the wire...GS SUPER CHARGED WINS BY FOUR AND GOING AWAY! Photo finish for second place. Radiation Therapy finishes a gallant fourth.

Photo finish indicates that VAN GUARD has taken second place by a head! So Predator is confirmed in third.

win GS Super Charged (4+ lengths)
place Van Guard (head)
show Predator (2 lengths)
fourth Radiation Therapy

Nice write up Frost! Thanks this is just what Predator needed to get his name back out there. Congrats Sammy!

[Sammy]

Oh My Gosh!! Thank you so much. I'm so proud of Ben. I got a little worried with Van Guard but I'm in absolute amazement. Congrats to the others.

[S u N f r O s T ~]

Happy to see people are pleased with the results xD And he deserved it Sammy. He's been working for this for a long time.
