Why dont you buggy boys measure your thangs in Furlongs?

[DICK FURLONG]

 Is it because you Standard Bred type don't hang with your
Thoroughbred bigger brothers.
 Some call you our Red Haired Step children but I don't want to admit you may be OUR children.
 The apple cant fall that far from the tree now can it?

It is time you get in the game, at least you can brag your races are longer than ours, after all 8 furlongs is bigger than 6

  my favorite memory
Of Derby day ..back when we
Had live racing here
Is that e Tbred guys all waiting
For me n offstride to give em a hot tip
On a buggy race as they were
Desperate to try n recoup
Their bank rolls that they lost
On those damn runners##
