THE BALLAD OF SHATIN ON WEDNESDAY

Eight races and all on the dirt Might not seem exciting at all But still there we were at Shatin Ready to have a ball


THE BALLAD OF SHATIN ON WEDNESDAY 1

After all this was Happy Wednesday A time to rock and roll But Shatin’s not Happy Valley and so we went for a little stroll We held back that usual Happy Wednesday energy And wanted to get on a winning roll


THE BALLAD OF SHATIN ON WEDNESDAY 2

We backed Perfect Joy in race 1 And it streaked home for Tye Chris So is no so so trainer, boys After all Caspar was, er, his sire Altogether now! Chris So is no so so trainer After all, Caspar was his sire!

Invictus just couldn’t lose That’s what all the experts said But Winning Apex had other ideas And turned race two on its head Everything we won we lost We were no longer ahead


THE BALLAD OF SHATIN ON WEDNESDAY 4

Zac was back to win race three And expedited things It was a welcome winner for Paul O’Sullivan Dhere’s The Love was a bloody fickle thing Yeah, just like in real life Dehere’s The Love was a really miserable thing


THE BALLAD OF SHATIN ON WEDNESDAY 5

Then like our beer bellies stomachs It all went bloody South This was when Danesouth won race 4 A horse we’d never heard about It ran like it hadn’t run before Not in a very long time It ran like it hadn’t run before And so we drank more wine

Green Zone won for Sam The Tailor And Manu was a happy chapatti But we backed favorite Bundle Of Joy Which ran like a bad curry from Karachi Bundle Of Joy made us rush to the loo Like after a bad curry from Karachi


THE BALLAD OF SHATIN ON WEDNESDAY 10

In the last Bobo Dragon was at “voluptuous” odds Said “Lucky” Davis to Clint We all gagged when hearing the word Brett Davis was becoming unhinged “Voluptuous odds?” we asked ourselves Amigo Brett was becoming unhinged


THE BALLAD OF SHATIN ON WEDNESDAY 11

Flinders said he’d do Brett’s washing If the Six Up Bonus was won Alas this was not to be When Bobo ran like Wo Wo No Flinders didn’t have to do no washing When Bobo ran like Wo Wo
