Stall Number 40

This is where rests
The best of Racing Royalty,
Affirmed, Secretariat
were Where It Was At,
They munched the sacred hay
From rubbled kerb
But this May
“Tis home to Orb!
Rosario saddled dear Animal Kingdom
to victory in Dubai;
Then for the Roses
Joel showed no yellow,
Indeed proved trainer Shug
A mellow Derby fellow,
Gracious in the winners’ circle
As was his muddy mount
Who’d just crossed the line by
Two and three-quarters- With a mighty pounce.
Now the Preakness looms,
Thus Orb’s spacious equine room
in the Champions’ Barn
will warn his backers
To stay the course
We want only the Triple Crown
For Summa Orbis,
Neigh to a losing horse!!
