They're Off

They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Well, I saw this cartoon maybe five times or so when I was about 11 or 12 (I had a period where I watched and re-watched a bunch of Disney cartoons, mostly older ones), and to THIS DAY when I watch any horse race, whether an actual one or in a movie or whatever, I think about 'OLD MOE vs SHAPSHOT' because of this damn cartoon.

I credit the narration above all; there are a bunch of good gags - how can you not have horses doing wacky things involving cheating and slipping up and getting up on legs that horses usually don't do during a horse race in real life - but the instructional part of it I think fits really well. It's a big race and a sports event, so without someone giving us the play by play (in a 7 minute short with variations of Goofy that are poor and rich) it might not work as well. Luckily, lightning seemed to strike with this one (not kidding, this is really entertaining).
