Heard on the news that today is Elvis Costello's B-day, so in honor of that, here's a little ditty set to one of his songs.
This one is for all you Zenyatta fans who feel she doesn't get the respect she deserves.
==========================
Miracle Mare
(to the tune of Elvis Costello's "Miracle Man")
They say Zen hasn't faced males on dirt. Those critics demand why.
I never thought that so much trouble was waiting for my reply,
I tell them 'bout the night she won the Classic
And she was the only mare to race
They respond that I just like her personality
But I know it's how she ignores pace
Why they have to say that there's always some horse
Who can beat her on the fair and square
'Course even if Zenyatta were walkin' on the water
They won't see a Miracle Mare
Zenny's always done the things we want,
You know she's always done the things that awe
She's got the longest top class unbeatean record
and that patented pre-race paw
Well, she won the Clement Hirsch just tryin' to please them,
With a crawling pace at Del Mar
Oh, I thought that now they might be taking it easy,
But they still come and ask for more.
Why they have to say that there's always some horse
Who can beat her on the fair and square
'Course even if Zenyatta were walkin' on the water
They won't see a Miracle Mare
And now they're givin' her a bad reputation
Just because she's never been denied.
You say to them "she's done it all before"
Then they claim that that talk is tired.
At Breeders Cup, they'll love Zen so much there
I just don't think that she'll feel a strain.
Oh, and she's the one who'll win that night
yeah, there's no way she's gonna lose to Blame.
Why they have to say that there's always some horse
Who can beat her on the fair and square
'Course even if Zenyatta were walkin' on the water
They won't see a Miracle Mare
Miracle Mare (repeat until fade)

If you're unfamilar with the song here's the best recording of it on youtube (some Stargate Atlantis fanvid with the song as audio track):
