Tiz Midweek Mayhem Today
Battle Of The Sexes We’ll See
A Filly Or Colt Winning Glory
Which of the two shall it be?

There is no Real Quiet or Raven
So now we have 8 in the Gate
Defending Champion = Digger
Glory or Defeat as his Fate

And Away they all go in the Challenge
With a short lead we see “The Bunny”
Dusty is right on his tail
Hoping to bring home the Money

Digger moves up now to join her
Thunder Cat making it Four
The other 4 moving too slowly
Their jockeys all asking for more

At the top of the stretch things have changed
The Bunny Is slowing way down
Digger has found his best stride
Will he be the one with the Crown

Thunder Cat Cruzan 🏍 Are next
Followed by Dusty and Blunny
Far at the back we see three
Probably out of the money

Roman 🏎 Tiger Dancer & Ruffian
So far are Lagging far Back
All three are proven as Winners
Perhaps they don’t like the track

And down the stretch here they come
It’s now Digger who’s leading the way
Thunder Cat and Cruzan right there
But Is this the way it will stay?

The answer came Quickly + Bold
Like Lightning From the back with a Roar
Tiger Dancer Closing so fast
With a run that none could ignore

She’s Passing one after another
Until she has taken the Lead!
Digger, Thunder Cat + Cruzan
Not believing what they have seen

She’s left the field far behind
She’s running in front all alone
The rest are running for second
The Trophy The Tiger brings Home

Defending Champion Digger
Just couldn’t keep up with her pace
In a very tight photo he is able
To just hold on second place

Thunder Cat holds on for
Catching the Bodacious Bouquet
Cruzan will head to The Shire
The Precious He takes home today

So here are the final results
Tiger Dancer Winning BOTS Glory
With a record-breaking late run
The Eye Of The Tiger The Story
