OUT OF THE TURN THEY ALL COME
WHEN THE CROWD LETS OUT A HUGE ROAR
AS THREE SUDDENLY FIRED LIKE ROCKETS
WITH A SPEED THAT NONE CAN IGNORE!

HORSE CRAZY GAL AND CATALINA
JOINED WITH THESE 2 NOW IS BLUNNY
THESE 3 LEFT THE FIELD IN THEIR WAKE
A 3 WAY MATCH RACE NOW FOR THE MONEY


AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH IT'S STILL THREE
THO PEEPTOAD IS FAR FROM ALL THRU
NOW RAVEN & CIGARSHOP WOKE UP
BUT STILL WITH A LOT LEFT TO DO


JOHN HENRY AND DUSTY ARE NEXT
BOTH ARE ALL OUT & STILL TRYING
THE FOUR AT THE BACK OF THE PACK
HAVE THEIR TRAINERS ALREADY CRYING


AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY ALL COME
WHEN SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING
HORSE CRAZY GAL BECOMES PEGASUS
MAYBE RED BULL IN HER FEED PAN THIS MORNING?


THE CROWD IS NOW UP ON THEIR FEET
SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES ON FIRE
THE FILLY HAS LEFT THE REST WONDERING

ARE STILL RUNNING STRONGLY BUT KNOW
IT'S JUST FOR A PART OF THE MONEY

BUT THE FOUR AT THE BACK PRETTY RUSTY
