It’s Roamin away like a Speeding Race Car 🏎
Leading the field into the turn

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

With a shocking acceleration of speed
Like a tornado 🌪 out of the Blue

Cruzan Has fired on all cylinders to leave the rest of the field
Far behind him as if they were out for a morning trot

The crowd is on their feet screaming in Shock + Awe
Of this breathtaking run from last to so far ahead in front

It’s a long long way back to Roamin
He is now joined by
Dusty The Energizer Blunny Post Time Mike

There’s another huge gap back to Raven
And another few lengths to Thunder Cat

Meandering along in Another time zone
Is the “Not So Dynamic Duo ” Frustrated Felines
“Cheetah” Ruffian + Tiger Dancer

THEY ARE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH

Cruzan 🏎 so far in front the rest of the runners
Who are only running for second place money

It is a Quick Quartet Vying for Big Bucks
Dusty A few Lengths ahead of Raven
Another gap back to The Energizer Blunny
With Post Time Mike just another length behind him

Roamin After spooking at a shadow on the track
Losing all his earlier momentum is next

Even farther back is our Double Defending Champion
Real Quiet Whose energy today is half of what it has been
Looks like he will earn the Frosted Whisker Award

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

Cruzan so far ahead has been eased up and only trotting ...

...... because there’s no reason to make him run faster
When there’s no chance of anybody catching the runaway colt
