Royals falling fast from further mention at the #7 place ….

WAIT! …. as Spike Jones once reported …. from out of nowhere …. hoofing up her own cloud of clabber …. here comes the filly, GIRDLE …. if she gets here …. what a story that could make …. “GIRDLE IN THE STRETCH!” …. what an elastic finish that could be!!!! …. Stay tuned in the stretch to your nanosecond action ear … We’ve got the whole thing covered right here on TPPE Sports Radio!”
