I like First Notable Chip because he has the highest lifetime earnings. What do I win?

We'll let you know when the finish line photos are retouched.

I'd like to pick Hoosier Andrew because he was trained by a girl.

Was it a tie?

Did any of these trotters pull Amish buggies? If so, I'll pick an Amish buggy horse.

I always pick the number 7 horse. What was his name?

Ed Slater said...

Come on, you cuckoo birds, this is a serious thing. Take a look and think it through. Unless you never saw a horse.

Hey Scarpatchy, you're a little hot under the horse collar, aren't you?

Which one is the Japanese horse?

I think they finished 1-2-3. When will the prizes be sent out?

Do they ride these horses or trail behind in a little chariot? Personally, I like the chariots because it reminds me of a Charleton Hesston movie.

My holy Christmas. I wish I hadn't put this stuff on the blog. Does the term moron strike anyone?

Did I win the big nothing package? I was hoping I could get it sent via UPS next day air. I'd like to go out to some yard sales about 10:30am, so I hope Big Brown is on time. How much does the nothing package weigh? Is there a box?

From UPS Hub Manager:

When you send a label with no package, it's easy to lose. We'd prefer that you stick the label onto a box. Make sure the box is about the size of your brain. A ring box.

Whew! I dodged that one.

Hey Fetzer...are you an Amishman? If so, how do you plug in your computer?

Undoubtedly it will be that pesky Hoosier and his Newly Genesis Mighty Man Yanking his First Notable Chip with Yankee Doodle Andrew pulling up his SL while trying to hold the Wyers.

Gosh, it's really hard to be humble when your this smart.

I think Pull my Reins has it.

PULL MY REINS SHOULD DECLARE HIM or HERSELF THE WINNER: But we'll let the BIG judge call it.

Contests such as this are limited to the first 20 comments and it looks like we're getting close.

Let me get this straight.

So,
-I buy a half way decent horse that has no pedigree records of being anything close to Barbaro for 10K.
-I buy a farm with a large field and possibly a small oval track to live for 300K.
-I buy a truck and trailer to transport my horse for 75K.
-I buy food and 'horse' items to maintain my horse in good health for 50K.
-I then hire a trainer to train my horse, purchase a harness get up and have my horse spayed or neuetered for another 50K.
Finally, I bring my horse to Goshen, Indiana to race in the 'Amishly Popular' Maple City Trot.
-I actually win the race after my driver pressed Harley Yoder to the siderail to take first in the last 50 yards.
AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF...I get my off green, felt blanket sponsored by the Elkhart County 4-H fair, and a CHECK FOR $2,600 (Which will almost pay for the gas to the Shipshawana KOA, where the horse and I will be living.)

You're splittin' my guts and my little intestine is just pulsating there on the floor. Where did you get these hay-hungry weevil bait comments? Now, I'm hiccupping uncontrollably.

Ain't this a yuk?

Ed Slater said...

Pull my Reins, you get the nothing package, too. We're gonna ship it by air. Expect it Thursday between 5:00 and 4:45. Or sooner.

Congratulations on your astute picking. Or, your resolute sticking. Or, your flute ticking. Or, your root flicking. These endorsements will all be included in the nothing package at no charge. Wanna supersize it?

Loosen up the Horse Collar, like Old Man Bontrager said...

Yes, please supersize my final answer.

And please include the bonus signage that says: 'Caddies welcome in the members' pool area: 1:00 - 1:15 pm.'

Central Air.

I want to thank the Big Triple Blogmaster for fast delivery of my prize. It's a joy to work hard to win the big one and have the sponsors come through. Good job!

When you advertised the winner would receive nothing, and then you supersized it, I was impressed. It took no UPS delivery men no time at all to deliver the huge unboxed prize. It's the most beautiful nothing I ever won. Oh, and my neighbors are green with envy. Light/transparent green.

If I raise no objection, will I receive the supersized nothing, too? It's the only one I don't have.

Cross trainer, you sound like you're a highly trained economist. I'll bet you have a shingle and a big hokey smile. Do you floss your jackass's teeth out there in Shipshe?

I'm glad this one is over.
