TWAS A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY
WITH EXPECTATIONS RUNNING HIGH
ANTICIPATION AND EXCITEMENT
BENEATH A BEAUTIFUL CLOUDLESS SKY

ELEVEN HAD ENTERED THE GATE
WHEN WE HEARD AWAAAAAY THEY GO
TWO SHOT OUT LIKE ROCKETS
THE OTHER NINE WERE SLOW

DUSTY + JOHN HENRY
LEFT THE GATE A FLYIN
THE REST HARDLY SEEMED
LIKE THEY WERE TRYIN

BUT THE RACE WAS PRETTY LONG
UNTIL WE WOULD SEE THE WIRE
SOME WOULD PICK UP SPEED
AND OTHERS WOULD SIMPLY TIRE

OUT OF THE TURN THEY CAME
WHEN WE HEARD A MIGHTY ROAR
AS EL PRADO SOARED ON BY
HIDDEN POWER SHE HAD IN STORE

BUT THAT SURGE DIDN'T LAST
AS ANOTHER TWO FLEW BY
WAS CRIMINAL TYPE + DUSTY
NOW PROVING THEY COULD FLY!

THEN BLUNNY + CIGARSHOP
TOGETHER NOW WERE NEXT
AND THE REST OF THE FIELD
NOT YET ANSWERING THE TEST

PEEPTOAD ~ CATALINA + RQ
NOW WERE PRETTY FAR BACK
POST TIME MIKE+ RUFFIAN
ANY SPEED THEY SEEMED TO LACK

AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
IT ALL BECAME SO CLEAR
THAT DUSTY WAY IN FRONT
WITH NOBODY EVEN NEAR ...

WAS TRYING WITH ALL SHE HAD
TO WIN THIS SPECIAL DAY
SHE MADE IT ALL SEEM EASY
LIKE SHE ONLY CAME TO PLAY

BUT EVEN WITH HER POWER
EL PRADO HAD MORE TO SAY
SHE CAME WITH HOOVES A FLYIN
SHOVED THE REST OUT OF HER WAY

CIGARSHOP THE DEFENDING CHAMP
RUNNING BEHIND THE TWO FILLYS
DECIDED TWAS TOO MUCH TO TAKE
LETTING THEM RUN LOOSE WAS SILLY

SO HE PICKED UP HIS SPEED
HE PICKED UP THE PACE
HE CAME ON LIKE A PIT BULL
TO CHANGE THE TONE OF THE RACE

BUT THE TWO FILLYS WAY IN FRONT
STILL HAD A LOT LEFT TO SAY
THERE WAS NO WAY IN HELL
THEY'D LET A COLT GET IN THEIR WAY

BEHIND THOSE THREE UP FRONT
CRIMINAL TYPE + ALSO BLUNNY
WERE STILL RUNNING STRONG
TRYING TO GET SOME OF THE MONEY

JOHN HENRY BEGAN TO BACK UP
REAL QUIET NOT SHOWIN MUCH
PEEPTOAD + CATALINA NEXT - BUT
WITH THE FIELD HAD LOST TOUCH

AND WAY AT THE BACK WE SAW
IT WAS POST TIME MIKE + RUFF
AND WHEN THE TOUGH GOT GOING
NEITHER OF THEM COULD FIND ENOUGH

AND NOW THE CROWD WAS SCREAMING
LIKE BANSHEES CAME THE ROAR
AS THOSE TWO FILLYS NECK + NECK
WERE FLYING FAST TO SCORE


THEN DOWN THE STRETCH THEY CAME
DUSTY A HEAD IN THE LEAD
COULD EL PRADO JUST BEHIND HER
FIND WHAT SHE WOULD NEED

AT THE WIRE WE COULDN'T TELL
WHICH NOSE WOULD WIN IT ALL
TWEEN DUSTY AND EL PRADO
BOTH HAD ANSWERED THE CALL

THE PHOTO TOOK FOREVER
THE CROWD GREW TIRED OF WAITIN
NOW EVERYONE WAS GUESSING
AMIDST WILD ANTICIPATION

WAS THEN THE BOARD STOPPED FLASHING
WHICH FILLY WOULD WIN THE FAME
AND WHEN THE DUST HAD CLEARED
WE SAW THAT DUSTY WAS THE NAME


TWAS JUST A TINY WHISKER
THAT SEPARATED THE PAIR
CIGARSHOP FINISHED 3RD
TO GET HIS MONEY SHARE

AND WHO WOULD STEAL THE PRECIOUS
TO GET THE 4TH PLACE MONEY
IT WAS CLOSE WITH ANOTHER PHOTO
BUT THE RESULT SHOWED IT WAS BLUNNY

HERE IS THE ORDER OF FINISH
SOME RAN WITH ALL THEY HAD
SOME OTHERS CAME UP EMPTY
THEIR EFFORT WAS MIGHTY BAD


SO HERE THE FINAL PRICES
BUT IF U THINK THEY'RE WRONG
JUST NOTIFY CATZILLA
SHE'LL FIX IT FORE TOO LONG
