The morning was cold and bright

Everything was feeling right

I hooked up the horse to the cart

Onto the track, we do dart

Jeppy Ho is the gelding I will race

He has such a jazzy fast pace

We all are excited today

To me this is just like play

My family is cheering me on

The horses are all pacing along

I pull to the lead and never look back

Speed is something we don't lack

The race was a fun one

To the winners' circle now…

We just won!
