Suddenly Finding Supurr Sonic Speed
Passing one of their another moving into contention

Hopping quickly now
Is Just tucked in Behind the Frisky Fillys in Front
Thereβs a big gap back to the rest of the field
Tiger Dancer, Digger, Dusty, Roamin
Even farther back is Post Time Mike
And meandering along in the twilight zone is Cruzan

It is at least 13 Lengths back to the Energizer Blunny
