Talk:The Cart Before the Ponies/@comment-25613746-20160806175736/@comment-25613746-20160806202144

Exactly - I hoped for something similar like Fall Weather Friends: all three of the adults competing because of their competetive nature. Instead they didn't even compete in the same discipline.

If you think all of this through - why is there even a derby if they don't race against each other? In-universe, it doesn't make much sense for driving old-fashioned carts side to side with fast race-carts, and Rarity's block would be technically cheating.

Plot-wise, it makes even less sense, because they only have the same story three times, and it gets repeated over and over. In fact, this might be "Rainbow Falls"-level of bad.
