~Hooves~Of~Magic©


A match race was underway,
he(foolish pleasure)behind her was found.
And on that fateful day,
she broke her leg and went down.
They tried to calm her again and again,
for she was thrashing as if still running her race.
Then she broke another leg trying to win,
but you could see the pain on her face.
Her owners had her put to sleep,
so she suffered not in vain.
They buried her at belmont where she can keep,
a faithful watch where she so lovingly did train.
Her trainer was Frank Whitely,
how he cared for her so.
For she was part of his family,
as he shed a tear letting her go.
Ruffian was her name,
on hooves of magic she flew.
Now with Frank she's in the hall of fame,
bestowed upon by few.
Her nose lovingly and rightfully so
placed in the direction of the finish line
where she was always first to go....
She still wins by a nose
as in the clouds she goes!
