A Sure Bet at the Races

A patient went to his local chiropractor to see about his
back. During the examination, they started talking about
horse racing.

The doctor said, "You know, I have a horse. He's really fast
. . . well, fast enough to beat most of the others. In fact,
the last 3 races he was in were all mighty close races.
Fortunately he won them all by a nose. You might want to bet
on him sometime".

A week later, the patient went to the races. He remembered
what the good doctor told him but he could not remember the
horse's name. In fact, he didn't remember asking what it
was.

In the first race, there was a horse named Polar Doc. Since
his doctor's name was Doctor North, he thought that probably
was the doctor's horse and put $10 down on him to win. Polar
Doc finished 6th.

In the 5th race, there was a horse named Lumbago and another
named Diamond Back. Now, he wasn't sure which was the Doc's
but he figured one of them was so he put $10 on each to win.
Lumbago finished 2nd and Diamond Back was right behind in
3rd, both were lengths behind the winner.

The next day he was in the doctor's office and decided to
ask him the name of his horse. The doctor replied,
"Pinnochio, he won the 7th race last night . . . paid $135.20
to win."
