Race 4 (The YouTube Monster Muppet Stakes)
In the studio Nick Luck tells John McCririck that he has just
seen Alastair Down, so what McCririck replies. Nick says there
is no way he will get through the day and not get caught with
the no smoking law and rushes off for a bet. McCririck looks over
and Alastair Down gives him a nod and a wink and proceeds to
light a pipe. He realises that as a young member of the team
Nick has been set up and in fact the pipe only contains herbs.
Over to the start and gates open and Filthyfake (The Muppet)
refuses to move and shouts "Ha! No chance.. Ive seen enough"
what does he mean, does he now realise he has no chance of
winning or maybe he thinks the one who stays in the stalls the
longest wins. In any case its another easy win for Jadwiz Racing
(Betting Guru).
Race 5 (The YouTube Muppet For Life Stakes)
Tanya Stevenson, betting exchange expert for channel 4
racing, reports large a volume of betting on Filthyfake (The
Muppet) to win race five. But no, false alarm, Derek Thompson
has been drinking that special brew of tea again and turned
Tanya’s laptop upside down as a joke
Onto the race itself and in the stalls Filthyfake (The
Muppet) is looking very tired and dejected and again Jadwiz
Racing (Betting Guru) tries to allow the Muppet back into the
race by telling him he still has time to place a few bets using the
FREE membership details he posted on YouTube. But no, this
Muppet has already decided. The Muppet is not for turning, why
should he, after all he has always been Muppet, and a Muppet he
would stay.
The gates open and Jadwiz Racing (Betting Guru) gets a good
start and again Filthyfake (The Muppet) decides not to move and
shouts "It really isnt working for you". Jadwiz Racing (Betting
Guru) baffled and bemused by the statement thinks to himself,
maybe the Muppet really does think the one who stays in the
stalls the longest is the winner. No matter its only a five
furlong race and its finished before Jadwiz Racing (Betting
Guru) can consider a reply.
After the race Filthyfake (The Muppet) has one last look at
the score board and discovers the results of the main race
selections that had been offered to him earlier on Tuesday
29/04/2008 by Jadwiz Racing (Betting Guru). These had in fact
produced 4 out of 5 winners, plus a non-runner. Master Spy (won
3/1 was a 4/1 shot with Betfair), Buddy Holly (Won 8/1 was
available at 14/1 with Betfair) Art Exhibition (won 5/4 you
could easily get 6/4 with Betfair), Curzon Prince (Won 15/8 was
forecast in the papers to go of at 7/2 but again well backed).
The starter agrees that these are excellent results and awards a
walkover in the last race.
Just as the crowds begin to leave Filthyfake (The Muppet)
shouts "fuck off you fucking half wit!" and slumps to his knees.
He had finally realised what he’d always feared, he was in fact
a Muppet, and a very big Muppet. But after a few minutes on the
ground Filthyfake (The Muppet) suddenly jumps to his feet, arms
stretched upwards and shouts. I may be a Muppet, but at least
I’m the biggest Muppet on YouTube.
At this point Jadwiz Racing (Betting Guru) decides to thank
Filthyfake (The Muppet) for an entertaining days racing and
walks over to shake hands. But on meeting Filthyfake (The
Muppet), he realised that the Muppet had changed.
What had caused this change? Was it the fact he had been
beaten by a distance in every race or maybe Jadwiz Racing
(Betting Guru) should not of selected so many winners that week.
Whatever the reason, it had become clear to Jadwiz Racing
(Betting Guru) that he had changed. Filthyfake (The Muppet) had
now in effect malformed and develop into what is known as a
super Muppet.
