Saddlesore Galactica/References

== Trivia ==
* Maggie does not appear in this episode.
* Some international and domestic reruns of the episode (barring the season 11 DVD set, the Disney+ version, and the reruns on FXX and Freeform) have an instrumental version of Cake's "The Distance" rather than the actual song with music and lyrics.
== Previous Episode References ==

* "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)":

* "Bart Gets an Elephant": The Simpsons get a pet that they can't afford.

* "Bart Sells His Soul": 
** Bart wears different pajamas (blue pajamas/cowboy-themed pajamas).
** Homer wants something deep-fried (a buffalo/his T-shirt).

* "Bart's Dog Gets an "F"" and "The Way We Was": Marge sets something on fire as part of a demonstration (her finger to show Lisa her sewing callus/a bra as part of a women's rights protest/the curtains to show Lisa how to use the fire extinguisher).

* "Whacking Day" and "Treehouse of Horror IV": Homer obnoxiously uses an airhorn.
== Cultural References ==
*Battlestar Galactica: The episode title is a pun on this show.
*Tex Avery's MGM cartoons and The Mask: Moe's heart beating out of his chest when he sees a pretty woman is reminiscent of the wild takes used in Avery's cartoons and the Jim Carrey movie from 1994.
*The chocolate stream may be a reference to Charlie.
==Goofs==
*Duncan has the number 5 written on his sides in the first race. The number disappears a few times in different shots.
