TEN TENACIOUS CHALLENGERS TRYING TO PREVENT
ANOTHER WINNING HIPPITY-HOP TO THE WIRE
THE ENERGIZED ELEVEN ARE IN THE GATE READY TO RUN
AND THEY'RE OFF IN THE DUSTY-RAVEN STAKES
UNLEASHING HER 'INNER CHEETAH' RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE
IT IS RUFFIAN HEADING TO THE TURN ALL ALONE ON THE LEAD
RAVEN IS ABOUT 10 LENGTHS BACK

BLUNNY ~ CRUZAN ~ TIGER DANCER ~ CATALINA
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
RUFFIAN'S 'INNER-CHEETAH' IN COMMAND FROM THE START
BUT ROAMIN IS NOT HAVING ANY OF IT
AND NOW IS RIGHT AT THE FRISKY FILLY'S TAIL
CRUZAN ~ REAL QUIET & POST TIME MIKE HAVE FINALLY
FOUND THEIR BEST STRIDE AND ARE NEXT
RUFFIAN LEADS THE WAY WITH 4 HOT-TO-TROT COLTS ON HER TAIL
