What I Like About This One:

The shooting gags at the beginning.

Buddy’s piano stool briefly coming to life.

The villain switching out Buddy’s horse and replacing it with a sorry-looking horse (he pumps him full of air and paints eyes on his lids).

One of the race contestants using crutches.

A dog getting distracted off the course by a rabbit.

The villain getting himself knocked off the horse by a cactus.
