| The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse |
It’s Kentucky Derby/Triple Crown time. This post is for Catholic families and people in the Thoroughbred industry – jockeys,
trainers, horse owners and farm owners, breeders, grooms, exercise riders, and
all others who love racing (and who probably already have heard this joke).
The Priest, the Protestant & the Horse
Races
One day while he was at the track playing the ponies and all but
losing his shirt, Mitch, a Protestant, noticed a Catholic priest who stepped
out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for
the 4th race. Lo and behold, that horse – quite a long shot – won the race!
Before the next
race, as the horses began lining up, Mitch watched with interest as the old
priest once again stepped onto the track. Sure enough, as the horses for the 5th
race came to the starting gate, the priest made a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses. Mitch made a beeline for a betting window and
placed a small bet on the horse blessed by the priest. Again, even though it
was another long shot, the horse the priest had blessed won the race!
