    raised his head and shook his blackthorn and shouted that he'd have blood or money.
    Steel Gray won the race.
    This song was made by Mrs Murphy Corcaboy to commemorate the victory. It is in Irish in Page 146.
    It was April the 8th in the year 42
    In the plains of OBreanan we had a great view
    Nine Noble hunters to run for the plate
    And the foremost and best that gained the day's race.
    There was Hussey from Dingle and Chute from Iveragh, and and Plumer from Causeway and Steel bate them all
    Crossing the last ditch, They took a great fly.
    approaching the post like the Hector of Troy.
    Up comes a Tralee man and asks Mr John
    From whence have these boys come.
    That's huzzaing for your horse
    Now I will tell you with honours and fame
    They are all, Keel boys that followed Steel Gray.
