Some race horses staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record. “In the last 15 races, I’ve won 8 of them!”

Another horse breaks in, “Well in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!!”

“Oh that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28!”, says another, flicking his tail.

At this point, they notice that a greyhound dog has been sitting there listening. “I don’t mean to boast,” says the greyhound, “but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!”

The horses are clearly amazed. “Wow!” says one, after a hushed silence. “A talking dog.”

Just after the biggest horse race of the year, the horses that came 2nd and 3rd meet up and discuss the replay of the race. The horse that came second, a grey horse, tells the other brown horse that he doesn’t undersatnd why he lost. “I was winning for most of the race, I got well ahead of everyone else and onto the last straight, when all of a sudden that black horse comes out of nowhere and blows me out of the water! I just don’t understand.” Just then, a dog wanders up to the horses and says “Sorry, I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation. I noticed that you had that large lead at the start of the race and knew straight away you were going to lose, you need to pace yourself, and because the black horse conserved his energy, but stayed just close enough to you throughout, he was able to beat you on the straight with great ease”. The dog walks off and the two horses look at each other all confused. There is a short pause and the brown horse says “Bugger me, a talking dog”
