Ode to a Standardbred

O noble steed, with heart aflame,

You thunder down the track, a sight to claim.

Your muscles ripple, sleek and strong,

As hooves pound hard, the crowd’s wild song.

 

A flash of color, a blur of speed,

A champion’s grace, a leader’s creed.

You strain and strive, with every breath,

A testament to life, to love, to death.

 

Your spirit soars, beyond the wire,

A symbol of hope, a pure desire.

You carry dreams, of fame and gold,

A story untold, forever bold.

 

So let us cheer, for this magnificent sight,

A creature of power, pure and bright.

A marvel of nature, a work of art,

A champion’s heart, a racing start.
