Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

TODAY WAS 'FEAST OR FAMINE'
WAS 'ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL'
FOR 2 IT WAS IMPRESSIVE
THE REST JUST DROPPED THE BALL


CATALINA + REAL QUIET
MADE THE FIRST HALF ALL THEIR OWN
THEN JOHN HENRY MADE A MOVE
TO MAKE HIS PRESENCE KNOWN


THE REST OF THE FIELD LETHARGIC
WITH TROTTING MORE THAN RUN
THEIR EFFORTS WERE DEPRESSING
WHEN THE RACE WAS FINALLY DONE


BUT IN THE FINAL FURLONGS
SOMEONE ELSE WOKE UP IN TIME
PERHAPS THE HORSE WAS THINKING
"HEY --- MAYBE THIS RACE IS MINE?"


THEN WITH A MIGHTY EFFORT
PLUS AN INCREASE IN THE PACE
THE LEAD BEGAN TO DWINDLE
AND WE HAD US A MATCH RACE


BUT AS THE WIRE DREW CLOSER
THE LEADER SAID --- "NO WAY"
"I STARTED IN THE LEAD
AND ITS GONNA BE MY DAY!"


SO THEN IN THE FINAL STRIDES
THE LEADER TURNED UP THE HEAT
THE FINAL SURGE WAS AWESOME
NO WAY WOULD HE BE BEAT!

THIS COLT IS HOTTER THAN FIRE
WINNING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
TODAY'S RACE WAS NO DIFFERENT
THE RESULT NOT EVEN TIGHT!

SO THE GLORY TO THE WINNER
AS HE WALLOWS IN THE FAME
AND IN CASE U DIDN'T GUESS
REAL QUIET IS HIS NAME


SO HERE IS HOW IT ENDED
THE MONEY THAT EACH WON
AND IF U FIND AN ERROR
U KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE!
