They say a nudge is as good as a wink And that a big name from Sydney will be in Hong Kong long before anyone thinks He’ll add star power to the trainers ranks It’s really not that hard to fill the missing link
Some say April will see a big announcement About a changing of the guard Something Moore to stir the pie? With some Whyte sauce on the side? And what will Georgie say to that? And is it really that big a surprise?
The rumour mill goes round and round There’s something new every day Someone’s going someone’s staying And how someone’s gotta pay
Guess there’s a Peter Pan in all of us Out here in Never Never Land Where we often become Oliver Twisted And the bucket list becomes a tin can
The Zac Attack and the Magic Man Always put on a damn good show It’s not exactly Masterpiece Theatre But is that Kevin Spacey in the front row?
Wednesday was the night when all the magic went poof Literatteur and Matty Chadwick winning the last at 43 to 1 Had many hitting the roof
Joao losing on two red hot favourites Might have been tough to take But are they Valley horses? Winning at Sha Tin will be a piece of cake
Everyone is a winner babe But only when that ship comes in That ship is usually the Titanic though And with punters left to sink or swim
Here’s hoping for some luck today Maybe a Happy Victory in race four That’s anyway what the Tweeter Man thinks But who cares what he has to say?
The Zac Attack is back He’ll be in the thick of things again Superich could be another winner But that Mr So And So will give him something to chase
Remember that expensive purchase The one called Harmony Hero? It plods around again The race looks a 2000 metre slog between some very average types A race where even the Lally Man can win And Dylan Mo puts in A Mr Bean ride
There’s a Dancing Fighter who might surprise For the Fownes and Purton team But Fabulous Eight looks the one to beat Multimillions will be running on with a mighty head of steam
Could good guy Alberto Sanna win and Rule The Roost? The Sardine needs a comeback winner To give his stocks a boost
But careful about the debutant He’s called Win Win He’s a longshot who might just turn it on But anything trained by Benno Yung Could go very very wrong
She says to me the other night “I’m not getting this racing game “How much longer can it run? “If everyone loses time and time again?” “If tipsters can’t tip and only lead you astray “And if they can’t even tip a waiter “Why are we supposed to play?”
Horse racing needs to understand That everyone’s not the same The oldsters are getting older The newbies wanna change the game
Losers don’t like to see how the other half plays to win It’s another human condition that just cannot be fixed
It’s the world we’re now living in No one’s happy for anyone There’s too much angst going on inside Pull up at the corner, man Need to get off this senseless ride
Just remove me from the conversation Don’t wanna be in the lost and found Gotta make up for some lost time Cannot always be Twitter bound
Really don’t care About who wins or loses As long as I end up in front Don’t care for small talk with little people And lame duck conversations About Daisy and The Punt
