B is for Beulah and Belmont , a couple of Parks and the Bid.
C is for Cauthen and Curlin, the best of their times.
D is for Del Mar, where the turf meets the surf.

F is for Foolish Pleasure, the Hall of Fame Derby winner.
G is for Goose and Tonic, my racetrack drink.
H is for Hialeah, the gem of the South.
I is for IRS Window and 1099’s.

N is for Northern Dancer, cause it’s in the blood.
O is for Oak Tree, wherever it may be.
P is for Preakness, the second jewel to see.

R is for Ruffian, whose movie brought me to tears (first since Brian Piccolo)
S is for several of the best (Secretariat, the Slew and Saratoga)
T is for Thomas the Tank Engine (sorry, Space Kid was editing)….it’s actually for Thoroughbred Bloggers Alliance, your source for turf news and whatnot.
U is for "U got to be kidding me" for the photo finish that cost me the Pick 4.

W is for a Win bet on a longshot play.
X is for the horse that Crist throws away.
Y is for Yonaguska, a fine sire indeed.

If Blogger had a "Like" button, I would be pressing it right now. Awesome.
Like many of your other cool ideas, I may have to steal this idea for my own evil devices. This is totally going to be a thing.
I love the C for Curlin! Very clever post I loved it!
Joe: Thanks for the kind words and feel free to "steal" it as you know this is just my Alphabet Soup...would love to see the Michigan version!
Brian: I know you're a Curlin fan, as am I....thanks for the comment and for reading.
