Tiz Derby Day in Kentucky horse
And 12 Have Come Out To Run
Even Catalina has returned
To Join In The Derby Day Fun

So here’s the Dynamic Dozen
From the last up to the first place
A Day filled with some Surprises
But still one Helluva Race!

Tiger Dancer with no energy
Unlike her performance in the past
Started out so very slowly
And of the 12 Finishing Last

The Raven had Wings that seemed tired
Eleventh was all he could do
Roamin also was lacking
The Speed he would need to get thru

Dusty Left the gate in a hurry
With Winning the race on her mind
But when the finish line came
She finished down in place nine

Defending Champion Ruffian
Left her Cheetah back in the Gate
When the race finally ended
The Champion finished as #8

Post Time Mike back in Seventh
Waited too late to run fast
Then, When he picked up his Speed
Through the others he couldn’t get past

The Energizer Blunny in MidPack
Is where he stayed from the Gate
Thunder Cat running beside him
Just Missing “The Precious “ = Her Fate

Cruzan left the gate like A Tornado 🌪
Leaving the others far behind
But when closers started all coming
“The Precious “ is all he could find

Digger was Strong from The start
Consistently ran A good race
Just not enough to keep up
But finishing well in third place

Catalina returned from a layoff
With amazing Energy + Speed
Just Not Enough to win It all
The Bridesmaid today she will be

The Winner with Power Today

Not living up to his Name
Real Quiet had nothin but Fun

Leaving some with a Smile or a frown
Some are dancing with joy
To see who it was win the Crown

But whether you win or you lose
The thing to remember today
We all will go home as a winner
Just for the fun when we play
