The Defense
"One boat in sight, your highness," said an admiral on the royal yacht.
"Which boat is it?," said Queen Victoria.
"The America."
"Oh," she said, "and who is second?"
The admiral replied, "I regret to inform you that there is no second."

The Challengers
"The press is always saying, 'This guy's got it,' or 'this guy hasn't,'
but anything can happen on the race course. Nobody knows a thing."
