At Woodbine Track we play
With 12 in the starting gate
To run for BOTS Glory Today
There's 7 Colts & 5 Fillys
So not quite an even run match
But even if they're outnumbered
Some Fillys are sure hard to catch
The Post Parade is just ending
With Everyone in except one
Tiger Dancer is being so naughty
To her it's simply such Fun!
Cigarshop is joining the Antics
And Now he too is backed out
They seem to share some kinda secret
But who knows what it's about?
Peppermints & Sugar work magic
And Have enticed them both to go in
Now finally we really are ready
To let the racing begin
"And Away They Go" We Now Hear
John Henry Fires like "The Flash"
He's taken a gigantic lead
And probably will get some cash
But right there just off his tail
Is Raven who's sure mighty fast
Though this early in a long race
Will the 2 fast Colts later be passed?
Ruffian -- Stark -- Real Quiet
Now Criminal Type makes it four
These front runners all are on fire
The others will need to find more
They're at the Top Of The Stretch
But the order dramatically changed
El Prado Discovered her MoJo
As the top 4 Now rearranged
Stark has taken command now
With 5 still in for some money
El Prado -- John Henry -- Real Quiet
Raven & Defending Champ Blunny
Ruffian took the turn badly
Catalina almost clipped heels
Criminal Type - Dusty- CigarShop
Alarmed at the sound of her squeals...
Lost any momentum they had
And now are way back by a mile
Where Tiger Dancer is "running"
Tho trotting seems more like her style
And Down The Stretch Here They Come
With Stark still leading the way
A battle of three right behind him
Each might have something to say .....
About who gets all of the Glory
Of who wins the day and the Gold
Of who will bring home the Trophy
Of BOTS for all to behold
Can Stark hold on for the Colts
For the Fillys can EP Come through
Can John Henry or RQ prevail
Who makes the BOTS Dream come true
The Wire is just up ahead
El Prado & John Henry still firing
Real Quiet is losing momentum
And suddenly now seems to be tiring
Then suddenly the crowd on their feet
As Stark has had simply enough
With the BOTS For the COLTS in the balance
He knew it was time to get Tough!
And Tough was the name of his game
With Colt Glory right there for the taking
Then as he crossed over the line
BOTS History was now in the making
The battle for second was close
A photo would have to decide
El Prado and John Henry both
Each had one Helluva ride!
Objection lights are now flashing
So Hold all tickets till we see
We know That Stark is the Winner
But who will the second place be?
The Stewards are watching the replay
And here comes the end of the Tale
Decided by a small Kitty Whisker
It's El Prado who now will prevail
So here is the order of finish
