TWAS A FUN DAY IN THE SUN
EXCEPT FOR JUST ONE THING
TODAY'S DEFENDING CHAMPION
TURNED UP M-I-S-S-I-N-G

THE SUN WAS WARM + BRIGHT
THE TRACK WAS REALLY FAST
AND WHEN THE GATES HAD OPENED
TWO SHOT OUT LIKE A BLAST

THE IRONY IS IN THEIR NAMES
OUR 2 REIGNING HORSE OF THE YEAR
CRIMINAL TYPE AND CATALINA
WHO MADE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR

THAT THEY WERE IN IN TO WIN IT
AND FOR AWHILE KEPT UP THE PACE
BUT THEN JOHN HENRY + BLUNNY
HAD OTHER IDEAS FOR THE RACE

THE TWO COLTS SHOT UP LIKE CANNONS
RUNNING AS IF THEY'RE ON FIRE
BUT THE RACE HAD ONLY BEGUN
AND MAYBE EVENTUALLY TIRE?

AT THE HALFWAY POINT WE COULD SEE
BLUNNY TAKING OVER THE LEAD
CATALINA RUNNING RIGHT WITH HIM
JOHN HENRY WITH INCREDIBLE SPEED

CRIMINAL TYPE WAS STILL HANGIN TUFF
BUT NOT REALLY MUCH IN CONTENTION
DUSTY + TIGER DANCER
WERE FINALLY WORTH A BRIEF MENTION

REAL QUIET, RUFFIAN + EL PRADO
SHOWED LITTLE RIGHT FROM THE GATE
AND AS THE RACE WENT ON LONGER
THAT SEEMED TO SEAL THEIR END FATE


THE TOP OF THE STRETCH WAS AWESOME
A MATCH RACE AND BATTLE GALORE
2 COLTS AND ONE BRAVE FILLY
WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE

THE CROWD WAS UP ON THEIR FEET NOW
LIGHTNING HOOVES UPON THE TRACK
THE THREE LOCKED IN TOGETHER
WITH THE FIERCE WIND AT THEIR BACK


AND THEN IT BECAME ONLY TWO
A TUFF BATTLE RIGHT TO THE WIRE
CATALINA AND JOHN HENRY
WITH BLUNNY APPEARING TO TIRE

THE FILLY AND THE COLT NOW
TOGETHER STRIDE FOR STRIDE
AND WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER
IT TOOK A PHOTO TO DECIDE


THEIR NOSES TOUCHED THE WIRE
IT SEEMED TOGETHER AS ONE
THE STEWARDS TOOK SO LONG THEN
IN DECIDING WHO REALLY HAD WON

THEN WHEN THE FLASHING NUMBERS
THAT WERE LIT UP HIGH ON THE BOARD
FINALLY SHOWED THE CLOSE OUTCOME
EXACTLY WHOSE NOSE HAD JUST SCORED

JUST ONE WOULD CLAIM THE VICTORY
FOR THE GLORY AND THE FAME
BUT THEN WE SAW THE NUMBER
AND JOHN HENRY IS HIS NAME



CATALINA THE COURAGEOUS FILLY
OUR REIGNING HORSE OF THE YEAR
RAN WITH THE HEART OF A CHAMPION
MAKING THAT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR

BUT TAKE NOTHING AWAY FROM BLUNNY
BRILLIANT RIGHT FROM THE GATE
MISSING JUST ONE OF 12
YET THIRD WOULD STILL BE HIS FATE


CRIMINAL TYPE THE ULTIMATE THIEF
AND OUR OTHER HORSE OF THE YEAR
STOLE THE PRECIOUS SO EASILY
TROTTING OFF TO GET A COLD BEER

SO HERE ARE YOUR FINAL TOTALS
AND JUST HOPING THEY ARE ALL RIGHT
IF NOT THEN NOTIFY CATZILLA
BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE TONIGHT

CATALINA (HOTY) ========== $90.50

BLUNNY ================ $89
