Unfortunately, racing isn't popular enough to warrant inclusion in the lexicon of pop music, but thanks to the gift of parody we can try to make the Sport of Kings a bit more relevant.
I took a gentle ribbing on Twitter when I mentioned that I actually like the song "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj. It's a catchy little ditty that really came into focus for me after the Beldame when I realized that with that right cadence "Havre de Grace" can fit into the rhythm of "Super Bass". Ideally, I'd be rapping this at Keeneland while the likely champion older female prepares for the Breeders' Cup Classic, but I can't rap and don't know anyone who can, so I'd rather share the lyrics now in the hopes that some industrious rap artist will improve the lyrics a bit, drop a beat on it, and get this thing to go viral.
Anyway, for those unfamiliar with the song, here is the video (some possibly NSFW themes and dance moves). It definitely helps to have a feel for the song for the rap to more easily read the HdG rap below.
This one is for the boys at
the Breeders’ Cup
Lots of chatter about what
matters leading up
When I come up in the stall
you better toughin up
Run you into the ground and
you’ll be easing up
And he’s fast, can last,
might give a thrill
Pop the latch on the gate
and get me in a duel
He’ll go, try to roll, but
end up a little short
Always in the mix but never
going to finish
When I make’em down shift
jockey hit’em with a stick stick
Don’t even need a perfect
trip to win it in the last click
That’s the kind of race you
should look for
And yes you’ll lose money if
you don’t know
I think we can agree this is
a heck of a field
I mean, I look all around
and they’re all I would own
I mean, I’ve got Porter and
Repole has Mo
But a bowtie is preferred to
vitamin H2O
Yes I will yes I will
everybody will know who the F I is
I’m Havre de Grace and back
the dudes up, back my figs up, bet against me and rip your deuce up
And now my hoof beat’s
running away
Beating like a drum and it’s
coming your way
Can’t you hear them hoofs,
ba-boom, hoofs, ba-boom
That’s Havre de Grace
Hoofs, ba-boom, hoofs
ba-boom
That’s Havre de Grace (Havre
de Grace)
This one of the boys in the
Woodward
Wannabe winners with high
hopes
They could ball with their crew
but had no hope
But I think I like it better
than facing the girls
And I think I’m long gone
with the afterburners on
My jockey ain’t even got to
put the stick on
He just give me that chirp,
when he give me that cue
Then the race is gone off
You’ll lose to me if you
stick to my thigh, race in hand, jockey ride high
Scream, watch me go by, rest
of the field staring at my backside
Yes I will yes I will
everybody will know who the F I is
I’m Havre de Grace and back
the dudes up, back my figs up, bet against me and rip your deuce up
And now my hoof beat’s
running away
Beating like a drum and it’s
coming your way
Can’t you hear them hoofs,
ba-boom, hoofs, ba-boom
