Miney and the F'ed Up Horse

From Preston and Steve Wiki

Introduced by Steve Oct. 24, 2006 in reference to a story about a miner killed by an explosion in Schuylkill County coal mine. Kathy wondered how Randal McCloy Jr., the miner who survived the Pittsburgh mine explosion in January 2006, is doing, and Steve replied that he was recently seen riding popular race horse Barbaro.

Plot A man who was trapped in a mine meets a horse with a broken leg and together they set the racing world on fire.

Sample dialogue “Just got to work in this mine here. If only I had a horse! Who are you? Barbaro! Thank you, Barbaro. We’re going to Kentucky.”
