IT'S THE MOMENT CUERO'S "RUBY BEGONIA" RACE TEAM HAS BEEN ANTICIPATING SINCE BEFORE SHE LOST THE FIRST LEG OF THE GREAT GOBBLER GALLOP TO WORTHINGTON, MINNISOTA'S "PAYCHECK" IN SEPTEMBER.

"We were just being good turkey folks. We went up to Worthington, we allowed them to win on there home turf. We're bringing it back here. We're gonna really let Ruby loose, and when it does it's all over. Cuero's turkey capital of the world," says Jodi Zavesky, a member of Ruby's Race Team.

SINCE THEIR LOSS---THE "RUBY BEGONIA" TEAM HAS BEEN TAKING IT EASY AND GEARING UP FOR A SECOND LEG WIN.

BEFORE THE TEAM TOOK THEIR DESIGNATED POSITION AT THE STARTING LINE---THEY HAD ONE MORE SHOUT OUT TO "PAYCHECK'S TEAM."

"What you gonna do Worthington, when Ruby Begonia Gallops on you--stick it," says team member, Erik McCowen.

RUBY FANS GATHERED ON EACH SIDE OF THE HWY TO WATCH RUBY GO.

AND WITH THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL A HONORARY REUNION YEAR BETWEEN CUERO AND THEIR FRIENDS FROM MINNISOTA---ALMOST 40 PEOPLE FROM WORTHINGTON WERE THERE TO CHEER ON PAYCHECK.

ONCE THE TEAMS WERE READY AND SET---AND ALL JUDGES WERE IN POSITION--- I GAVE A WAVE OF THE GREEN FLAG----AND THE GALLOP BEGUN.

TO WIN---RUBY HAD TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE 27 SECONDS BEFORE "PAYCHECK"

AND---WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE---THE JUDGES ANNOUNCED THAT "RUBY" HAD SAVED THE DAY---BUT "PAYCHECK" WON OVERALL.

BOTH TEAM;S REMAINED IN GOOD SPIRITS.

THE FESTIVAL WILL CONTIUE THROUGH SUNDAY WITH A WHOLE LINE OF ENTERTAINERS--THE BUDWEISER CLYDESDALES--AND A TEXAS HOLD-EM TOURNAMENT TO NAME A FEW.
