Well, I'd like to see another episode of Iron Pony competition. Will it really be annual? (and maybe they get more competitors than just Applejack and Rainbow Dash).

Other thing about it:

First off, the Iron Pony competition was supposed to solve which of them is better athlete. That wouldn't be done if RD was holding back by not using her wings. Otherwise RD could claim to win the original matter in case of even score due to holding back.

Second, it WOULD be a good idea to set up rules before the game.

Three, apparently their judge, Twilight, didn't consider wings as cheating or did she?

That said... flying in a jumping contest: Not sporty. It's to be about jumping, not just gettting far without touching the ground.

Carrying baby chics and protecting them from the mud: well that's simply thoughtful consideration of the little chics. What would Fluttershy say if RD didn't protect the little ones? AJ could have used some sort of saddle-fastened protection for them if she had thought of it. She just didn't  think to protect the chics from the mud.

Tug of war... well, RD used wings to her advantage, but I don't actually consider it unfair. In this case, it's play to your strengths. That talk-thing... well, that's completely within the rules. You fall for it, well, it should be obvious what will happen.

So... all in all, with Twilight getting fifth place with a strategy she learned from a book -- maybe it means to say Think a bit about what you're doing.
