I thought Applejack had this in the bag. 187 00:13:14,461 --> 00:13:17,250 You didn't think I was gonna let you off that easy, did you? 188 00:13:25,424 --> 00:13:26,858 I don't believe it! 189 00:13:26,859 --> 00:13:29,226 I know, it's beautiful, isn't it? 190 00:13:29,227 --> 00:13:33,071 Not the scenery, Twilight. Rainbow Dash just tripped me. 191 00:13:33,072 --> 00:13:34,227 She did not. 192 00:13:34,228 --> 00:13:35,258 She did too! 193 00:13:35,259 --> 00:13:36,402 She did not! 194 00:13:36,403 --> 00:13:39,419 And if you slowed down and looked where you're going, like me... 195 00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:41,595 ...you'd see that you tripped over a rock. 196 00:13:41,711 --> 00:13:44,275 What? Oh, hayseed! 197 00:13:45,333 --> 00:13:48,154 Now I got a lot of ground to make up to catch Rainbow. 198 00:13:48,155 --> 00:13:49,881 Just be careful! 199 00:13:59,185 --> 00:14:01,202 See you at the finish line! 200 00:14:01,448 --> 00:14:03,347 I don't believe it! 201 00:14:03,348 --> 00:14:07,019 After a huge setback, Applejack is back at the front of the pack. 202 00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:11,528 She's the head of the pack, all right. The pick of the litter! The CAT'S PYJAMAS! 203 00:14:11,785 --> 00:14:16,838 Oh, wait! Why would Applejack take some poor kitty's PJs? That's not very sporting of her. 204 00:14:17,085 --> 00:14:20,222 Oookay... Let's get back to the race. 205 00:14:21,173 --> 00:14:24,725 Not so fast, Applejack!

Applejack tripped me. 208 00:14:40,043 --> 00:14:41,884 Don't you ponies ever look where you're going? 209 00:14:41,885 --> 00:14:44,211 You tripped on a stump. See? 210 00:14:44,212 --> 00:14:47,281 Oh, I see. A big cheater is what I see. 211 00:14:47,282 --> 00:14:50,889 Rainbow, Applejack would never cheat. It was just an accident. 212 00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:52,335 Sure it was. 213 00:14:53,531 --> 00:14:56,271 I mean... Yeah! I'm sure it was. 214 00:14:56,272 --> 00:14:58,880 Remember, Rainbow, this is just a game. 215 00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:02,131 Yes. But the rules have changed. 216 00:15:02,132 --> 00:15:04,630 And two can play at that game. 217 00:15:08,243 --> 00:15:11,231 Welcome back, Ponyvillians!

How about you, Spike? 223 00:15:24,117 --> 00:15:26,858 Uh...

No wings! 226 00:15:36,016 --> 00:15:40,660 As the racers enter Equestria's Whitetail Wood, Rainbow Dash is back in the lead. 227 00:15:47,582 --> 00:15:49,616 Hey!
