I need to know the name of a song about horse racing?

Question

Many years ago -- it was probably in the 30's or 40's -- that a member of my family wrote a mildly popular song about a horse that "ran the other way" during a race. I'd love to find that song. I have no idea of the title.

Answer 1

no idea but listen toi gin soak boy by divine comedy...and definitely watch the video.  What a superb video!

Answer 2

can-do....the paul reviere song!!!

Answer 3

The author was a member of YOUR family, and ya can't get the name of the song?  Ouch, that bites.

Have ya tried putting in the authors name and some of the lyrics in yer browser bar?...then hit search?...Sometimes that helps.

Answer 4

Does no one in your family remember. Or how about checking who own the rights to the song - there may be some royalties out there :-)
