WELCOME TO SUPURRR~DERBY~DAY
WHERE THE SKY IS BLUE & SUNNY
WE HAVE 12 IN THE STARTING GATE
ALL HOPING TO MAKE SOME MONEY
WE WOULD HAVE HAD 14 TODAY...
CATALINA AND OAKLAWN SCRATCHED
BUT WITH THE QUALITY OF THESE 12 IN
WE SHOULD SEE A HELLUVA MATCH!
THE HORSES HAVE NOW ALL BEEN LOADED
NO PROBLEMS OR ISSUES THEY SHOW
THE JOCKEYS ALL SEEM TO BE READY
AND NOW ------- AWAY THEY ALL GO
AWAY LIKE A BOLT OF WHITE LIGHTNING
IT'S 4 IN A LINE ACROSS THE TRACK
A QUARTET OF SHEER PRIMAL POWER
NO SPEED DO THESE FRONT RUNNERS LACK!
CRIMINAL TYPE FOLLOWED BY PEEPTOAD
JOHN HENRY ALONGSIDE OF STARK
IT'S 5 LENGTHS BACK TO REAL QUIET
AND NOW BLUNNY HAS FOUND A SMALL SPARK
THE REST OF THE RUNNERS BEHIND THEM
HAVE STARTED OFF TERRIBLY SLOW
BUT IT'S ONLY JUST THE BEGINNING
WITH A LONG WAY STILL LEFT TO GO
NOW OUT OF THE TURN WE CAN SEE
IT'S FOUR COMING ON WITH A ROAR
JOHN HENRY ALONGSIDE OF BLUNNY
WITH POWER & SPEED THEY DO SOAR
CRIMINAL TYPE LIKE A HOT ROCKET
TIGER DANCER IS FIRING NOW TOO
THE REST OF THE RUNNERS BEHIND THEM
STILL HAVE A LOT LEFT TO DO
THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH
NOW THINGS HAVE SUDDENLY CHANGED
THE ORDER OF THE ONES UP IN FRONT
HAS TOTALLY JUST REARRANGED
AS 2 FILLYS JUST CAME UP A-FLYING
WITH HOOVES BURNING UP ON THE TRACK
PEEPTOAD & RUFFIAN BOTH
NOW ON A RED HOT ATTACK
CRIMINAL TYPE SLOWLY FADING
NO SPEED LEFT TO CHALLENGE A STRIKE
THEN SUDDENLY FROM THE BACK OF THE FIELD
IT'S A FAST CLOSING COLT = POST TIME MIKE!
IT'S MANY LENGTHS MORE WAY FAR BACK
TO STARK PICKING UP HIS SLOW PACE
THEN CIGARSHOP WHO FINALLY WOKE UP
TO BEGIN TO GET INTO THE RACE
REAL QUIET & EL PRADO ARE NEXT
BUT OBVIOUSLY CLEARLY OUTRUN
THEY'VE SHOWED SO LITTLE SPEED
THERE'S NO CHANCE THEY COULD GET IT WON
RUNNING IN LAST PLACE SO FAR BACK
SHOWING JUST NO SPEED AT ALL
IT'S DUSTY WHO STARTED THE RACE
COMING CLOSE TO A DANG SCARY FALL!
SHE STUMBLED OH SO VERY BADLY
WHEN COMING OUT OF THE GATE
THAT WE ALL KNEW RIGHT AWAY THEN
LAST PLACE WOULD BE HER SAD FATE
AND DOWN THE STRETCH HERE THEY COME
12 RUNNERS ALL FIGHTING FOR GLORY
THE CLOSERS WITH IMPRESSIVE POWER
OR THE LEADERS TO BE THE TOP STORY
BUT SUDDENLY NOW SOMETHING HAPPENS
SO FAST IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
IT'S PEEPTOAD WITH ANOTHER DIMENSION
AS PAST ALL THE OTHERS DID FLY
NOW THE OTHERS ALL FINALLY REALIZE
THEY'RE SIMPLY JUST OUT OF THE MONEY
THO 2 HAVE A TINY SLIM CHANCE
JOHN HENRY & MAYBE BLUNNY
THERE'S 2 RUNNING OFF THEIR TAILS
POST TIME MIKE NEXT TO RUFF
THEY'VE GIVEN ALL THAT THEY GOT
BUT CLEARLY, IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
THE TRIO JUST RUNNING BEHIND THEM
APPEAR TO BE STILL RUNNING STRONG
BUT THEY'RE SIMPLY JUST TOO FAR BACK
TO GET UP TO WHERE THEY BELONG
THE REST OF THE FIELD FAR BEHIND
ARE DEFINITELY OUT OF THE MONEY
ALL EYES ARE ON THE LEADERS NOW
IT'S ALL PEEPTOAD & THEN BLUNNY
BUT THE FANTASTIC FILLY IS AWESOME
SHE HAS PUT ALL THE CHALLENGERS AWAY
LEAVING NO DOUBT IN ANYONE'S MIND
WHOSE STAR WILL SHINE BRIGHTLY TODAY!
THE 2 COLTS NOW LAGGING BEHIND HER
JOHN HENRY ALONGSIDE OF BLUNNY
THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY CATCH HER
BUT THEY EACH WILL WIN SOME DECENT MONEY
SNEAKINGLY STEALING "THE PRECIOUS"
FROM A BATTLE THAT REALLY WAS TOUGH
POST TIME MIKE WHO TRIED VERY HARD ...
BUT HE JUST COULDN'T GET PAST 'THE RUFF'
SO AFTER WE HAD THE BRIGHT SUNSHINE
FOLLOWED BY A DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
FOR SOME THE DAY WOULD HOLD ROSES
FOR OTHERS WOULD ONLY BRING PAIN
AND NOW WITH THE SUN SLOWLY SINKING
COMES THE END OF THE GLORIOUS STORY
IT WAS PEEPTOAD INDEED LIKE A STAR
SHINING BRIGHTLY WITH ALL OF THE GLORY
THE OFFICIAL RESULTS & THE MONEY
ARE NOW LISTED TO SEE DOWN BELOW
SHOWING WHO RAN BEST & FASTEST
AND WHO SIMPLY RAN JUST TOO SLOW
