Muscles ripple as the hooves hit the ground
Then go up again for a breath
Then hard against the dirt once again
Kicking up the dust
As they make the turn
Leading into the backstretch
And then they're off
Even faster than before
All too soon
They cross the wire
And Afleet Alex wins the race once again
Seattle Slew close behind
