A m id frenzied excitement a n d resounding cheers,
“Boots a n d Saddles” summon the gallopeers;
They’re at the post a n d the barrier’s sprung,
The <(bang ta ils ” are o ff on a long swift run;
A length behind, a n d then head a n d head,
I t ’s the do or die test of the Thorobred;
For this Sport o’ Kings pays o ff on the best,

W ith its thrills, actions, a n d a ll those things;

In a new autom atic that seven can p lay .
A press of the lever sends the horses away;
Two to thirty are the stakes to be won,
By the player’s horse that wins the run
To the exciting finish, with the same “head and head, ”
The name of the game?
Why i t ’s Thorobred!
