Good Afternoon and Welcome
To Gulfstream Park in the sun
Spectacular Supurrr Saturday
With 10 who are ready to run
Sadly we had several scratches
John Henry not feeling so well
Stark is out there in Vegas
Giving those Contests pure Hell
Also missing the action
Tiger Dancer is not in the gate
She's got too much work to do
On the awards she Must Graphicate!
And totally missing his flight
Plus, missing out also on money
Was Last seen chasing the plane
Down the runway was Sleepyhead Blunny!
Cigarshop is hoping to repeat
With hooves that are running on fire
But with 9 other challengers going
Will his nose be the first at the wire?
The horses are loaded and ready
The crowd is all ready for fun
The announcer yells "And They're Off"
As the 10 then take off at a run
Going Out for the early lead quickly
It's Cigarshop, Real Quiet & Ruff
PeepToad & El Prado right with them
Then Dusty with all the right stuff
The race seems divided in two now
With the front running 6 in the lead
It's very far back to the others
Who so far can't find what they need
There's Post Time Mike & Catalina ~
Criminal Type / Oaklawn Capper Behind
Whatever these 4 must be thinking
It's not Running that's first on their mind
They're at the top of the stretch now
As things have suddenly changed
Leaders and Laggers changed places
And the order has now rearranged
The turn was hard for so many
Carried wide were El Prado & Ruff
Real Quiet jumped his own shadow
Then decided that he had enough
And Down The Stretch here they come
With Cigarshop in total command
The Repeat Victory so close
And he's doing all that he can
But history has taught us so well
In racing there is NO "Sure Thing"
It ain't over until it is over
And we all hear that Stout Lady Sing!
Then just when it seemed it was over
Cause There's just no way he could lose
Along came A Filly beside him
And Cigarshop is singin the blues
PeepToad now running for glory
To deny Cigarshop his "Due"
She collared that Runaway Colt
Then right on past him she Flew!
But Cigarshop don't give up that easy
With a chance of a Victory Repeat
He dug deep to find his best Mojo
To show her he would not be beat
And as the wire grew ever closer
A match race now had begun
The Defending Champ & The Filly
Now running for money not fun!
The excitement was not only For them
As Post Time Mike suddenly Roared
From the back of the pack he was flying
Just behind the leaders he soared!
Dusty was still running strongly
Criminal Type had quickly caught up
Catalina and Ruffian still in it
EL Prado / Oaklawn Capper had Enuff
The crowd on their feet were all screaming
Like Banshees the sound could be heard
And everybody knew what was coming
A Photo would be the Last Word
The photo was not just for winning
The battle for third was so close
Between Post Time Mike and Dusty
But who's speed had held up the most?
The lights on the board just stopped flashing
Objections dismissed one and all
The photo showed the Clear Winner
Cigarshop had answered the Call
When push came to shove he was brilliant
His class and ability shone thru
He fought with all that he had
To make a Repeat Victory come true
Peeptoad determined and Strong
Right from the gate to the wire
She left her heart on the track
And did so with Fierce Filly Fire!
But the day belongs to the Champ
In the winner circle proudly he stood
Now the goal for a 3-Peat ahead
And his chances are looking real good
So here's the official order of finish
Many gave it all that they had
Others struggled gate to the wire
Their trainers now looking so sad
But there's always a race in the Future
Today's losses are now in the past
"Ya Win Some Ya Lose Some" ... We Know
Today's winners next time could be last
