California Chrome

Tonight they held the Belmont Stakes
And California Chrome
Was thought to be the one to bring
A triple trophy home.

He'd won the Derby, Preakness, too
And he was in contention
To win the Triple Crown at last - 
That sure was the intention.

Alas, the horse did not succeed;
The pressure must have tripped him,
For he slowed down despite the fact
The jockey clearly whipped him.

So now it's thirty-seven years
Without a Triple Crown
And those whose hopes were highest
Must be feeling pretty down.
