Post time and lots of scurried betting.
Horses off and people already fretting.
Favourite boxed in, Some blood letting!
Three quarter cheers,shouts and jeers.
Horse on the outside coming on strong.
Discussions of number among the throngs.
Is it a longshot or are they all wrong?
Photo finish and you all go for more beers.
Its official a longshot won by a nose!
You're in the money, boy it was close.
Betting slips like confetti drop on your toes.
You don't care amongst your friend's cheers.
You and friends have money for all races.
See the excitement on your smiling faces.
A bunch of lost wagers and there are no traces.
You'll all have to face your greatest fears.
Lost all your winnings as excitment ends.
It's ok as you are all among good friends.
Remember that Luck...you shouldn't depend!
