I would be terrible at picking a horse in a horse race. Someone could explain to me every reason why one horse has a better chance than the others, and I'd still choose the one with the funniest name. Once I've chosen my favorite, I'm committed. That's my horse. 

We've known each other for forty seconds, horse, but I believe in you and in your funny name. No other horse has made me laugh the way you did. You deserve to win. A funny name is reason enough for me to believe in him. That's how I end up making questionable life decisions, you can imagine, but this post is about horses, so let's stick to that.  

The race hasn't even started, and I'm already defending him. I don't care if another horse is faster, actually. Okay, but does that horse have personality? I don't think so. The finish line has other criteria, and being charming isn't part of it. But we could create another game in which we pick the funniest horses, and a jury determines which is the funniest according to their names and appearance. Can we consider that? 

If my chosen horse wins, I knew it all along. I saw something special in him. That special thing was a name that sounded like an item on a breakfast menu. And a good breakfast menu never disappoints, just like this horse. But if he loses, then I can only say he did his best. Have you tried running that far? Exactly.

Besides, horses look stunning. Look at that hair. When a breeze catches their mane, they look like the kind of reference photos people bring to the hairdresser. They could be on the cover of a novel. Then they make a silly face and I like them even more. 

In horse racing, there can only be one winner. We know that. Anyway, I congratulate every horse from my couch because they all look amazing. My favorite will still be the one with the funny name, though, and it remains undefeated, but every participant deserves some respect.
