I think the horses are betting on the spectators. The white horse has his money down on the chick with the skirt, cause only a true winner would wear a skirt to the track and step into the dusty, dirty general admission area filled with a bunch of intoxicated men. I think she’s into the guy to her left. His suit and hairdooooo are hot.

  I think you may be right. Often the reverse of a punchline is funnier. I love alternative punch lines. Thanks for visiting.

My lucky number is 5. That’s the track of my dreams.

Now that’s my type of race. But, with my luck, I’d still lose.

Great drawings though…. wish I could’ve paid more attention in my drawing classes at school

  Oh I know my stuff is fairly primitive compared to the quality of cartoon drawing out there. But the sketches and the punch lines are adequate to elicit a smile or chuckle and that is the goal. Thanks for compliment.

  This makes me laugh. At least you did not think they were cars or elephants or something and I was able to portray them as trees.

  Perhaps people should start a movement. Don’t the casino owners understand that if everybody won they would have more business?

You stole my idea for organized sports. I’ve always hated the concept of two teams playing each other where one team wins and one team loses. I suggest only one team plays and nobody has to lose.

  Perhaps the Miami Dolphins can win more games this year under those circumstances

Always bet a sure thing. Double six +six/four then double four = 20

Ah!! Now we’re talking.
Ye Olde Racetrack. I wonder which horse will win?
It’s a great bet for the Trifecta.
