Anyone understand the pun at the end of Asimov's short story "Sure Thing" in
"The Winds of Change.."? The pun is "Sloane's Teddy wins the race."
The only twist I can think of is "Tony's Sled wins the race" but that means
absolutely nothing to me.

I never read "Sure Thing", but I'm an avid fan of Rocky & Bullwinkle. The pun refers to the moral of the Aesop fable "The Tortoise and the Hare": "Slow and steady wins the race."

#R:aecom:-62500:uiucdcs:12500081:000:108 uiucdcs!kaufman May 15 13:42:00 1984 Yeah, it comes from the moral of the fable about the Hare and the Tortoise: Slow and steady wins the race.
