A Winner At Last

I owned a racehorse that was renowned, as only fit to be knackery bound, bit it’s not a disgrace, for it won its first race - although inside the gut of a greyhound.

Very FUNNY! Love it a fav for me. That horse ended up fertilizing the grass for another racehorse.

Hello Timothy … unfortunately the case for many slow horses, especially if it helps a fast greyhound - thank you Timothy - Lindsay

I hope that was the fate of my first racehorse bet, but I suspect it is still wondering how to get out of the gate! Aloha! Rico

G'day Rico … the Melbourne Cup is the only horse race I have an interest in, but I always donate to the industry. I just pick a number - thanks Rico - Lindsay

A little perplexed by the type of 'racehorse' you mean, but a fun rhyme!

Hello Michelle … unfortunately it's a slow racehorse. A horse in either gallops of trotting, if they don't perform are usually discarded as they are too expensive to keep. Many end up as pet food, therefore greyhound food - thanks Michelle - Lindsay
