Only two-year old thoroughbreds are allowed in the derby. I liked pacers better: two minutes for a mile race. Quarter horse races are like, “andThey’reOffTheWinnerIs….”. I like to lose my money slower than that.
Unfortunately this joke falls flat with anyone who knows anything about horses or horse racing. But, I suppose it wouldn’t make sense to a lot of folks if he’d said “I want to win the All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs.” We Arabian owners enjoyed razzing the Quarter horse people by asking why would you want just a quarter of a horse when you could have an Arab?

Hmm, Quarter Horses are bred for sprinting short distances, i.e., a quarter mile.

I’m pretty sure only thoroughbreds are allowed to run the derby. There are other races for quarter horses.

This reminds me of a joke on the old Hee Haw show:
“What’s the difference between a horse race and a political race?”
“I don’t know. What’s the difference between a horse race and a political race?”
“In a horse race, the whole horse runs.”

I envision a similar gag with a 17th-century warrior getting a “quarterstaff” much shorter than he expected.
