STIRRUPS
DERBY 130
Smarty Jones

PONDER back with deep affection

The funnest time of year,

Christmas has a certain impact

Kids know Santas near,

Summer swims, football means fall

All things for which you care

But today is the day that gives the chills,

Draws friends back right to here.

Like Mighty Mouse here comes Limehouse,

Yep to save the day,

A Wimbledon serve, an ace with nerve,

Burning up the clay,

Only one mission for Pollards Vision,

Gumption makes him stay,

Rocking with rhythm Imperialism,

Sent on his merry way.

SMARTY JONES has party bones,

and can dance wicked fast

Swishing his tail pumps Castledale,

Tapit encircles the cast,

Making a pledge, The Cliffs Edge

‘winning will be a blast’

‘Piece of cake’yawns Friends Lake

got the bloodlines to make it last.

The battles been uphill, for St. Averil

But now has reached his peak,

Watch the special trick, enter Minister Eric

Unfold and flaunt the critique

Take a stab on his word, singing Song Of The Sword

Performance won’t be bleak

Nick Zitos’ Birdstone has shown, this cat has flown

A story quite unique.

Rick Violette has said ,’Read The Footnotes”

Then make up your mind

Roscoe Goose took DONERAIL home

In 1913, the payoff kind

With a   similar scheme up his sleeve

Master David is out of the bind

Don’t forget about Borrego

Let it loose, a time to unwind.

How about JOHNSTOWN in ’39 an 8 length win down the line

Pro Prado studied the text

Quintons Gold Rush lures the bounty, then be called hero of the county

Muscles ripple when flexed

Everybody’s set for Action This Day, go ahead and make your play,

Don’t   feel jinxed or hexed

Courageous creatures with Lion Heart, gutting it out to do their part

Now most of you know what’s next…………,
