Grey Diamond

There was a young jockey from Ireland 
Booked to ride the race horse, grey diamond
he wanted to be seen
painted grey diamond green
and kissed the Blarney Stone for Ireland.

Love the Limerick and the picture. Would make racing interesting to colour all the horses, but i suspect there might be a few objections. Congratulations on your win Roy! :-)

Funny, Roy. I guess you've given us a new twist on "racing colors". Churchill Downs may never be the same ... Thanks, Dave

Thank you very much for your very kind comment David, I have never been to Churchill Downs but from pictures and film it looks a wonderful place to visit especially for the Kentucky Derby, thanks again, Roy. :))
