John Henry distrusts race-track “sure things”—then a horse named Perhaps convinces him to risk fifty dollars. Perhaps, it turns out, has trouble remembering which end of the track is the finish.

On Broadway and at Belmont Park, John Henry and his friend Bunch are surrounded by tipsters whose confidence far exceeds their luck. John has sworn off betting, but one afternoon’s racing pulls him back in—and while the money disappears, the car they borrowed vanishes too.
