Cruzan Relaxing in the Dog House With Milk-Bone Biscuits
And a Yo-Yo-Dude On the shelf
PENTHOUSE to DOG HOUSE

If the Capricious Colt Cannot Calculate
Then Ruffian will Roar in from Penthouse To Tally-Ho

Rules are on the menu
Tiz Wise To read em thru
Better safe than sorry
Do it wrong + see DQ

No time to be clever
With Derby time near
Results will be brief
But definitely clear

In Tiger Dancer style
Not Presenting first to last
We start with the Slowest of Slow
And finish with Fastest of Fast

Defending Champion Ruffian
Her “Inner-Cheetah” Asleep
Leaving her running like a snail
Cat House Key she will keep

Not running very much faster
Tiger Dancer way Far Behind
Both “Big Cats” looking weary
By the time they crossed over the line

Cruzan Was slow to get started
And never ran very fast
By the time the finish line came
He finished third from the last

Thunder Cat mostly was Purring
Didn’t have much of a Roar
Consistently running in mid pack
Her Jockey kept asking for more

Dusty not running much better
Had enough when crossing the wire
Managed to Steal The Precious
As she’s heading now on to The Shire

Roamin began like a Freight Train
In contention to capture the Lead
But when the finish line came
The Colt lacked the much needed Speed

Digger Had his running shoes on
Bringing His “A Game” to play
But, Just falling short of enough
To Capture the Glory today

The Winning Effort was Clear
Who would take home all the Money
From the starting gate to the wire
It was always the Energizer Blunny

It was over right from the start
He hopped to the lead Right away
A Cheetah a Tiger a Cat
Ran slower than a Bunny this day

So here is the order of finish
But if you think it’s not right
Notify the “Cheetah in charge”
Please try to do it by night

BLUNNY $71.10
A Winning Bunny Hop Gate To Wire

DIGGER $63.40
Strong effort = BridesMan of the Day

ROAMIN 🏎 $49.60
Catches The Bodacious Bouquet

DUSTY $27.20
Not a lot of money
But enough to Steal The Precious

THUNDER CAT $21.60

CRUZAN 🏍 $20.80

TIGER DANCER $15.60

{{DC}} RUFFIAN $5.40
Not only earning a trip to the Cat House
But A YO-YO-MAMA Award as well
PENTHOUSE TO CAT HOUSE

We bid farewell to Kentucky
But only for a few days
When The “Most Exciting 2 Minutes”
Will leave us all in a Daze
