Dear Dinero,
Today we cried as you passed away
Left with so many things, we meant to say
“Thank you†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 don’t have to question what you’ve done
We’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 Frenchman’s Hayday
We love you
-Potter Ranch
