Today's ATRAB may be the first racing show ever to end with a segment on Mr Ed, the talking horse

Got this from Wikipedia:


"Mister Ed was a zebra" hoax
In the 1990s, a parody of typical urban legends, created on purpose by the specialized site Snopes.com, said Mr. Ed was actually a zebra, not a horse, and was either painted a solid color for the series or else looked like a horse because of shortcomings of early black-and-white television. The story frequently pops up as a "little-known fact," but is not true. Mr. Ed was really an American Saddlebred.[1]

TV.com also agrees that Ed was a horse and not a zebra:
"Bamboo Harvester was a Palomino horse born in 1949 to The Harvester (a Saddlebreed) and Zetna. Prior to landing the title role of Mister Ed, he became trained as a show and parade horse by Lester Hilton, a Will Rogers protege.

He was only 12 years old when he became known to the world as Mister Ed, a role for which he was clearly typecast. He neither played, nor did he audition for any other role during his 19-year life. He never appeared on any commercials. He was introduced to the world in his peak role of Mister Ed.

As Mister Ed, he carefully protected the secret of how he could make his lips move. Many suspected liberal use of peanut butter, but that is pure speculation. He took this secret to his grave in 1968. He was euthanized two years after his show went off the air, a result of complications arising from old age."

if you read further someone else said they use electrical shock to make mr. ed talk... ouch!!

Anyone who could have thought Mr. Ed was a Zebra and not a horse would have to be a complete moron, how the hell could you not simply tell, uh... Zebras's do not have long forelocks, and black, coarse, short mane hair could hardly be dyed a silky white. I guess this is the reason there are more horse's asses than horses.

I think Steve would be the one who needs to respond to this!!
