the old gray mare she ain't what she ustabe.

Some authors have said that the song originated based upon the extraordinary performance of Lady Suffolk, who was the first horse to do the mile in less than two and a half minutes.
It occurred at the Beacon Course racetrack in Hoboken, New Jersey - on 4 July 1843
