Cheltenham Races

Watched the steeplechase races at Cheltenham At the haywall a jockey fell off His horse though continued to ride And came first – what a great finish that was. The name of the horse is Fiddlerontheroof But the victory was awarded to Monkfish, Who came second, with a jockey on the back. At my comprehension, Fiddlerontheroof won. He did the job greatly, with no commands required He rode freely and gracefully, knowing how to make it Showed splendidly what a horse ride must be like Without the torment of whips and this stupid rush.
