18++ 7 Dec 2004

The young male race horse came from a long line of winners, and did
wonderfully in time trials. However, in actual races he proved a little
too romantic, and could never quite bring himself to pass a mare.

So one day the trainer went to him and told him he'd have to be
castrated. The young horse, knowing that it was either this or the glue
factory, took it philosophically. After all, having the operation was
almost a certain guarantee of a long and illustrious racing career.

After a short recovery period, the horse was again run in time trials,
and found to do as well as ever. But the first time he actually ran in
a race, he only went about ten paces, before getting a dejected look on
his face, turning around, and ambling back to the starting gates.

"What's the matter?" asked the trainer, "you were doing great!"

"Yeah, well how would you feel" replied the horse, "if five thousand
people took one look at you and shouted 'they're off!'?"
