Happy Birthday Diamond
She’s 5 Months Old Today
Time Flies By So Quickly
When All Ya Do Is Play

With Roamin Missing In Action
We are all concerned that’s true
I’ve tried reaching out in emails
But no replies have come through

Catalina the Defending Champion
Will have nine To make her run
Trying to repeat her victory
Before the day is done

The Talented 10 are in the gate
Ready to run for fame
But when the wire does arrive
On the toteboard what’s the name?

And Away they go into the turn
A fast trio now leads the way
Ruffian ~ Thunder Cat and Blunny
But is this how they all will stay

The answer came rather quickly
At the top of the stretch a ROAR
As Catalina just flew on by
Others wishing they could find more

Ruffian let her Cheetah Run Loose
With Speed ~ Power & Fire
Doing her best to catch Catalina
With legs refusing to tire!

Thunder Cat stayed right in the mix
An effort that could be a winner...
But when the finish line wire came
For her = NO Victory Dinner

The Raven Flying High and Fast
But not as fast as the Fillys!
He tried his best but in the end
They just made him look silly

Tiger Dancer came to the ball
But her dance was not that fast
Dusty and Blunny followed her around
But at least they were not last

Real Quiet, Cruzan and Post Time Mike
At the back of the pack they were
Not a lot of energy there
Under Saddles Maybe A Burr?

Catalina Just Outrunning Ruffian
For a repeat victory today
Thunder Cat catching the Flowers
In an awesome Bodacious Bouquet

Raven Trying to keep up with them
But sadly With tiring wings
Had just enough to visit The Shire
And Steal The Precious Ring

So here is the order of finish
A Filly trifecta Today
Repeat victory for the winner
Three peat wishes in play
