I did put this as a 1/5 on the poll but then I thought, 2/5 directly afterwards. I'll tell you why now.
The story was really nice and had real emotion up until the end of the second act with the under-ground elf jockeys. And how Homer ignores the brain eating warning and just disposes of them in a trash bag was incredibly stupid. And rushed. And the ending was too stupid to understand. However. It was almost half good. So dispite its flaws, 2/5 or maybe 1.5/5. I guess this show needs Matt Groening.
Here's my segment "Good Quotes from Terrible Shows":
Homer: That horse better win. Or we'll be taking a trip to the glue factory. And he won't get to come.
Lenny: Yeah, that's a great tour, but you can't see it all in one day.
Carl Hey, be quiet.

Announcer: What a stunning display! A horse is abusing a jockey. Might this be the start of a terrifying planet of the horses? In this announcer's opinion almost certainly yes. And away I go! (Leaves)
Homer: Go, son! Do it for the normals!
(He crosses the finish line in first place)
Homer (Drunk with a trophy): I can't stress enough how easy it was, to win this prestigious race, and furthermore- (The jockeys light a cannonball near Homer)
Homer (Non-drunk and Fast) Hollywood is leading our kids down a moral sewer. Gotta go! (He and Bart ride off on Duncan)

(After Duncan dives into the water forcingly by a pole)
Man: Another incredible preformance by this water-loving wonder horse! (Duncan struggles to get out of the water) What's that, Duncan? You say you want to dive again? Well-
(He hits a switch, forcing him back up)
Wgium: Now, this is clearly a case of animal cruelty. Uh, do you have a permit for that?
Man: No problem, sir. It's in my car. (Runs backwards, gets in, drives away)
Lou: You've gotta stop being so trusting, Chief.
Wiggium: I'd rather let a thousand guilty men go free than chase them. Shows over, folks. I'm afraid this horse is going to the dog food factory.
Homer: Good luck getting a horse to eat dog food.

Announcer: In my days I've never seen any horse give such heart. What a shame, the race is already over.
