The thundering
Sound of
Hooves
Upon
The grated
Loosened dirt
Now soft to the
Flying thoroughbred
With crowds cheering
As the announcer
calls the race
Like an auctioneer
driving the
Fans
into a frenzy

Here they come
round the bend
Galloping full speed
Down the stretch
Vying for position
17 hands high
1000 lbs of muscle
Straddled by 110 lbs
of determination
Jockey and saddle
Boots and whip
Everyone
Driven
To
Win
