A fan was so nice to write this and it was so creative that we felt the need to share it. Thank you Dennis Zielke!! Thank you to all our fans who send well wishes and thoughts and prayers. They really are appreciated and Team Chrome would like you all to know that. A sturdy young colt with a face full of chrome Arrived in the valley he now calls home His dam a comely mare with a heart of gold His sire an unknown who would be so bold And so it was under the California sun The colt and his dam in the paddock did run He caught the eye of proud owners there were two Their skillful trainer looked on and said this one will do So off to the trainer the young colt was delivered His career and training started his future considered From the morning mist until the setting sun The young colt had courage he loved to run And the trainer did see through his aged eyes The young colt was primed to deliver the prize A change of the jockey the trainer said was in order The young colt responded by giving no quarter Pegasus himself could not catch the colt He ran with heart like a lightning bolt Race after race the young colt he did run Every race he finished every race he won A warm bath and oats the young colt did receive You’re a derby favorite they all did concede Off it was to the Bluegrass State The young colt was set to meet his fate On Derby Day on the third of May The race was set for the close of the day A hushed silence across the track did fall Broken only by the bell announcing the call The gates banged open with a thunderous crash Sprang nineteen young horses, one with a purple ass Galloping ahead with breakneck speed The jockey held true just behind the lead As the front did tire and bobble under the strain The young colt was guided to pull out and gain One length then two soon to be five The jockey declared man what a ride So it was this partnership of the purple ass Their young colt declared the best in class Can he do it again two weeks hence His trainer and owners they did not flinch Come race day the young colt was on his game The gates flung open there was a trophy to claim Stalking the leaders until the top of the stretch The young colt pulled out the trophy he did fetch He can go all the way the crowd they did cheer There has not been a Triple Crown in 36 years So off to Big Sandy and the Empire State The young colt is determined his own way to make Big Red still holds the record winning by 31 lengths The young colt is anxious a Triple Crown win on the brink So we shall see on the seventh day of June For California Chrome a win would be most opportune (c) D Zielke 2014
