The post announcing Dinero's passing included a beautiful poem, written by Ryan Alexander:

Dear Dinero,

Today we cried as you passed away

Left with so many things, we meant to say

â€œThank youâ€ was the phrase we tried to find

As Potter Ranch became the legacy, you left behind

The sire of champions, who broke the mold

Even your coat was made of gold

Many of your colts have become a sensation

Making you the barrel racing stud of this generation

Four world championships in a ten year span

And to think people made fun of your tail as you ran

When you get to the other side, you can strut through all the gates

Go take your place in the pasture, with all the other greats

You deserve it; you donâ€™t have to question what youâ€™ve done

Weâ€™ll keep adding to your legacy with another daughter or a son

Now is the time for the hardest part to say

Goodbye Dinero; Goodbye PC Frenchmanâ€™s Hayday

We love you
-Potter Ranch
