Porky's Prize Pony

Porky's Prize Pony is a 1941 Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones.
== Plot ==
Porky the jockey is getting his prize entry ready for the big steeplechase, but an overambitious and ever-confident, somewhat bumbling nag, who needs an owner, is determined to convince Porky to ride him in the race. The pony flimflams Porky into buying him. After a steady series of spastic attempts to impress Porky, the nag bumbles his way into being Porky's entry when Porky's horse gets drunk.
