CHorus was :
Soon will the Steward Cup COme
and We're all here to watch them Run
Once all the running is done
we'll cry over our fake horses.

Lyric
They Pace, They Chase
They run their race
and down the track they fly
that fateful meet, once a year
the Stewards Cup has drawn nye

I once had a mare with dark bay hair,
and the name of that lady was lady fair
the meet was set, the races run
and I forgot to insure her

Lady Fair, she did break down, the maiden that she was
Injuries to much, she went to stud
I found her a guy with the fastest times
a colt was born a great hope of mine

I forgot the mare and forgot the colt
my bank had just about gone broke
I checked on all my 2yr olds times
the colt was a freak, and ran fast lines

The day was set, his maiden run
the Florida track was a romp in the sun
he crossed the line, six furloughs done
he earned his money, that colt he won

Six races run, five races won
we'll ignore the one he lost by a ton
as week 16, drew up fast
We just did hope that colt would last

the hour drew near and time flew by
The stewards cup had come and had drawn nye
the next thing I knew he was up in the gate
and I had to leave it all to fate

with the race done and the cup won
my stewards cup champ had his day in the sun
he flew like an eagle down that track
that dang colt gave me a heart attack

and now years later with time gone by
that little colt no longer flies
retires to stud with foals on the ground
times flown on by as the sim goes round

Yep, that's how it works. I'm a housekeeper at a hospital and have come up with nearly 30+ medical parodies, and the chorus usually comes first and sticks in my head.

the second to the last version, my teenager was trying to sleep (she really needed to be awake) and started screaming "OH MY GOD MOM! WHAT THE F ARE YOU DOING! LET ME SLEEP". I accidentally deleted it. it was pretty funny.

The fake horses were awesome, if you don't win, I'm going to lay on the track in front of the gates before the first race.

RESULTS

First off let me say all the entries were amazing, and I'm just so happy with how excited people were over this contest. It was a ton of fun, and I want to keep doing things like this in the future, so be on the lookout.

Picking the winners wasn't easy, and sorting out the top five was especially hard. I got some outside council on this, and our opinions were similar so without further ado...

WINNER - Brandon Schultz
Weird Al would be proud of this one. Absolutely perfection on adapting the source material while keeping the rest of the song on theme. You've got your choice of mares.

RUNNER UP - Carole Hanson
The violin master of the SIM. Honestly the line "milers being boring running only at a mile" cracked me up and gave you the edge for second. You win the mare Brandon doesn't pick.

THIRD PLACE - Carolyn Eaton
So much energy and fun in your song, and amazingly you managed to fit in the name of EVERY Steward's Cup race! You must have been out of breath after that. Really loved it, you win the $300K cash prize.

FOURTH PLACE - Randy Graham
Randy I don't think I've even seen much of you around before, but your entry was great. Lyrics that captured the event, great source material and lots of enthusiasm. $200K cash prize is all yours!

HONORABLE MENTION - Louise Bayou for the "Best Song That Didn't Follow The Rules Of The Contest" award!
Your song had me in stitches and I loved every second of it, but the contest wasn't sing about wanting Danny's mare, it was sing about the Steward's Cup. After consulting with The Steward however, she's donating an extra 10,000 GP prize for your song!

Thank you again to all those that participated. Carolyn/Randy, please lease me a horse for the amount of your cash prizes and I'll get you paid as soon as you do. Brandon/Carole, I'll be in touch to see what mares you want.

Everyone else who entered - You still get a free breeding to a Danny Derby stallion. Just breed the horse, then lease me a horse to reimburse the cost. Put in the message what it's for so I remember. Thank you again everyone for playing and entering!

Just heard a rumor that Brandon has been spotted leaving Danny’s house a few minutes ago. Danny had a large smile on His face as Brandon walked away with a grin. I was told he had to wipe off his chin on his way out. Just a rumor!
