As the joke goes... 2 Horses were having a drink in the bar as the first one says to the other "I can't understand it, my trainer keeps on putting me in the 2 Mile races and he knows damn well that I am a Miler, I am bred to run 2 Miles, 2 Miles is my best distance and I would win at 2 Miles". The second horse sympathises and says, "I have the same problem, I can cover a half-mile in record time but my trainer keeps me entered for the longer races, I just haven't got the stamina and I can't win over the longer distances" At this point a Greyhound who was nearby says' "Hey guys, I have exactly the smae problem..." With that, the first horse looks at the second horse and says " Waddya know, a talkin' dog !!!" It is a funny old World, I have no doubt though, that some brave soul will venture an answer for the original post.
